Hamlet - I think Audrey's exact words were "Raul is yummy." But you are right. That about sums it up.

I just saw The Coast of Utopia this weekend so I got up the courage to listen to the Word of Mouth reviews for the three plays - I'm ill.

Word of Mouth dealt with a lot of issues like stupid housewives, blondes with smiles that really scared the crap out of you, and six-year-olds with (tongue-wag) speech impediments.

Hamlet - I understand. It was painful enough to have to listen to their voices, much less their actual opinions.

Love your avatar, BTW.

I used to pay that site a daily visit. I don't think I visit once a week now.

That blonde lady who lists herself as an accountant/mom looks just like my chorus teacher (who's a complete twat by the way)

Here's their review for 110 in the shade:

The comments alone struck me as horrifying. Kat doesn't even know who Audra McDonald is.

I think it would be fun to have the Word of Mouth reviewers and the Tony nominating committee switch places just this once.

The on-line reviews would be much more interesting, and there would actually be some suspense when the Tony nominations were announced next week.

Very sad. So very, very sad. At least broadway.com could counterbalance these people with a real critic with credentials who has dedicated their life to theater, y'know...have a vested interest in the health of the current scene.

Do you guys think the Word O' Mouth folk read these message boards?

Wanna Be.....If any do, I would think Phylis and Vincent might read the boards. And as for Kat not knowing who Audra is, well she is 16!! Out side of "A Raisin in the Sun" and concerts, she hasn't been in the spotlight. I think it is great that she has discovered her and loves her now.

Good point, uncageg. Why WOULD she know who Audra McDonald is? We can't be that close-minded, can we?

I'm not certain that the Word of Mouth people read at all.

I was 12 when I learned who Audra McDonald was.

People who post on this board should learn who she is at birth. But these are not people who post on this board. Sadly, Audra's just not famous. When she's on The View, you can see the studio audience scratching their heads, too.

Lets talk about Randi's quote, shall we?

Who the heck is this person? I think my favorite part of what she says is "You have to wonder why Little Edie doesn't smother Big Edie with a pillow at some point in the second act because no person could possibly put up with that kind of oppression for 25 years, and yet somehow she's managed to do that...So it's a sick relationship but it certainly makes for great entertainment."

Yeah you're right Randi. Thats what the shows about. A little shaudfreude and looking down on others. Personally, I love the show becuase everyone can relate to feeling how Little Edie feels to some extent.

Happy...Everything! Kaye Thompson

Well GYPSY, keep in mind that Randi procliamed High Fidelity as the best musical she'd seen in years.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

they've don it again! as said by Audry on the topic of Old Acquaintance "This isn't a really show for a teenager, this is a show for people who like to go to the theater and see a good plot and a good play." As I'm sixteen, I resent that (especially since I'm not a drooling SA fan girl)...

What a night! I was in more laps than a napkin!

I know I will be hated for this, but I really like the Word of Mouth panel. They kind of show you what a more common theatre goer is like, and it gives you a sense of why certain shows that the die hards (like us), think are brilliant, but fail in the box office.
