Posted: 3/20/04 at 11:20pmYes, forcing poor Michael Mulheren, an actor far past his dancing prime to walk down a horribly tacky piano staircase in a sequenced tuxedo and top hat, and to shake maraccas alongside showgirls that don't look too far different form those in SPringtime For Hitler in a finale that practically gets down on its knees and begs for a standing ovation that it regretfully recieves every night--yes, quite a beautiful sight. it makes me tear up, and not in the intended way.

Have you asked Mr. Mulheren if he enjoys doing the show? I have, and he never complained to me!
I fourth the emotions on the show.

Posted: 3/22/04 at 11:51amI still can't watch it to this day. As a horse owner...its hard to watch any horse go through so much. She was a lovely mare though.
