Fonzie Bear was never a very serious Muppet to begin with.

Scarywarhol-

I think that was the play's point- to take an extremely taboo industry/group of people and present them in an a very familiar, traditional fashion. I thought it was a really fun pairing of form and content that kept me laughing from start to finish.

I'll still be sad come Tony time if this show (ie Graynor) is, in fact, ineligible.

This play was the theatrical equivalent of an "American Pie" movie. It doesn't deserve any award nods. Was it fun? Yes. Were the actors committed? Yes. Did the audience laugh? Yes. But it was really slight and hollow.

Graynor was really funny, but I don't feel like she was a revelation or was breaking new ground. I don't think it was a Tony worthy performance. I really need to feel like I'd never seen an interpretation before for it to be fresh or Tony worthy-like Nina Arianda in Born Yesterday and Venus in Fur.

"Ari was freaking brilliant."

Could someone please specify the difference between "brilliant" and "freaking brilliant?"

Personally, I thought she was freaking annoying, and I was freaking astounded at how freaking horrible the play was.

Now that Evan Cabnet is in charge of Second Stage, I say The Performers should get another chance on Broadway.
