Taye Diggs- A Publicity Stunt Gone Bad — Page 2

You can't forget that Idina was a "sacred original." Maybe the success of this show is all thanks to "rabid RENTHEADS!"

Do we have to dissect every one of his previous messages? If he's a shill for the understandy, so what??? If he is just gaga over him, so what???

Did Taye Diggs give the performance indicated in the original message? Was he prepared enough to go on? That's what I would like to know.

A little bitter??

You people and your conspiracy theories.... too funny.. why don't you just go SEE his performance and give your OWN opinion instead of trying to be Oliver Stone and connect a conspiracy with every comment posted.

I have an opinion and have the right to post it..and I ain't racist... go see the performance and you'll hear it in the context I was referring to.

White people can sound ghetto too.... go see the show... remember, the character is suppose to end up being the SCARECROW in The Wizard Of Oz..... it wasn't meant as a racial slur so stop trying to turn it into one.

uhhh, welcome to my world lilhead. lol j/k But have fun defending yourself against this crowd.

---

I would go see Taye even if he was'nt prepared. I think he is absolutely gorgeous. I'll sit in the front row and he could look down my top.

OMG to all that was said in this post. i have to admit this has been one of the most enjoyable posts to read in a very long time. all of you are very witty and funny.(also with a lot of valid points) I agree with some if he was bad or good i would still go see him, given the opportunity. i also think if there were consistant rumors* about him performing poorly, i would want to see it more. Lilhead, i respect your opinion in the origional post. I as a black man am not offended by your ghetto comment but i can definately understand how others would, i would try bo be more careful next time when you make such comments. I also think that because you are so partial to Kristoffer, it could have possibly warped and blinded your mind to someone other than norbert replacing him. In all honesty i havn't always been a fan of taye on stage, but i'm certain given a couple of days, he could be amazing.

Auggie, the poster may promise something for everything but ultimately doesn't deliver the one important thing: a good show.

I love this whole thread. It's the Great American Novel.

*Ahem*

With conspiracy theories abounding let me just step onto the grassy knoll and give my 2 cents worth: I saw "Wicked" last Wednesday replete with Kris Cusick and was really impressed with his performance. Truth is though, I went in with no basis for comparison as I never even heard the score before that day. I bought the CD post haste though and like Butz's characterization just as much.

Had I attended a show with Taye Diggs in the role I am sure I would have loved his performance too simply because it is a realy great show and I can't imagine how anyone could "ruin" a performance of it.

I've got absolutely no idea what Mr. Cusick or Butz or Diggs or whoever plays Fieyro, is or has done on the stage in the past so I am not in a position to critique the performance negatively. All I know is I had two very enjoyable hours of my life while watching the show and part of that was due to Kris Cusick.

AND I anticipate another enjoyable experience at the Gershwin when next I see "Wicked" no matter who is in that role (although I'd probably have a fit if someone other than Idina was playing Elphaba).

Just my 2 cents...Now, everyone can go back to their hair-pullin' and eye scratchin' fun.
