OK fine 'fingerlakessinger' Pahntom also had a bumpy preview period with the tech stuff.
"95 of the people who saw the show said the music and story sucked big time and the visuals have been both praised and bashed."
Oh statments like this make me giggle, where an earth do you get 95 percent from? you are basing that of the few posts on here and a few other boards (many of which seem to be the same poster on many sites), don't pull numbers like 95 percent out of your a**e. I had 4 friends who watched it last night who all enjoyed it. The tech issues were a problem for them and they said the book needs work but they said they had fun and with the right work could be a solid show. I guess they are part of that 5 percent.
"This show has a budget of mammoth proportions"
And?
"it has a manic director who loves attention more then life itself and is well known"
Who has also done some incredible work
"yes, we are allowed to come on here and say our peace. They have had PLENTY of time to fix these kinks. PLENTY. They have been in rehearsals for much longer than "4 months" and if Taymor wanted to bring such a innovative show to a Broadway stage...then she should have lined up her ducks before letting paying audiences in."
Nobody is saying you should not give an opinion, you are more than free too, im talking about people going on about a new show looking to take the venue etc as i clearly stated in my post. And AGAIN, Taymor and co will have started previews with what they THOUGHT was a piece ready to be shown as a preview and then start working on. She has not thought "oh what the hell, it's only all our reputations on the line, lets open the show even though its a mess", they thought the show was at a place that was ready to be seen. If you don’t think so that's your opinion, you may well be right, but people seem to think they just opened it for the hell of it, they would gain nothing from doing that.
