The Official LB MTV Broadcast Thread — Page 12

Well, she did get herself into Harvard. Also, what she really needed Emmett for was to help her realize she should have a bigger goal than just get the man. I always thought she made too fast a transition in the movie from ditzy blonde to ambitious student. Instead of "get the man" it became "show the man up" which was less emphasized in the stage version (thankfully).

She does all the work and comes up with all the brilliant ideas and epiphanies. She does has a lot of people supporting her and being there for her, but who doesn't?

TWSFan, Nikki Snelson is only a Delta Nu in the opening number. Then she's off until Act Two.

I thought it was a well done broadcast and agree it was a fabulous commercial for the show. Hell, it even made me want to see it on stage again.

More currently running Broadway shows should take this kind of risk.

Anyone know if there will be a DVD release? If there really isn't an 8 PM broadcast tonight (as a few sources have said there is) I won't get to see it at all. My VCR won't record anymore (it used to; now it's dead), and I've got work & school during the next two airings listed on MTv's website (tomorrow at 7 PM and Friday at 11 AM). I hope there is a DVD release. We need more things like this available after they air.

The performers have only been paid for 6 airings.

Except for Orfeh's "supply CLOSET" thing. What was that?


Americanboy are you stupid?

It was a joke...

She thought Elle was leaving but tried to exit through the wrong door, and Paulette told her that wasn't the door out, it was the supply closet.

this diserves a dvd release it would really hire the shows sells.but they probly don't want to take the risk were no one
comes see the show because every one would want to stay at home and watch it because they already have a copy of it.
now mtv just needs to do a taping of hairspray and wicked.

ya abc could brodcast poppins or mermaid.

Hoping I understood what you wrote I'm going to guess that might already be what happens. I don't think this is going to do wonders for ticket sales and LBB didn't come across great and she seems to be who and what the producers have be banking on the whole time to sell the show. It's pretty much failed them and I think this time, it might be irrevocable.

I thought it went pretty good actually. I mean, aside from the Hills girls who had no personality what so ever, it was good. I thought everyone did a great job INCLUDING Laura Bell. I think she's great which is obviously and unpopular opinion. I mean she was straining a little at some parts but after all that dancing and doing that many shows with no break, who wouldn't strain a little. I was kinda disapointed that they didn't fix the end of So Much Better though. But it thought her facial expressions were hilarious. Orfeh was incredible as always, and Kate Shindle was soooo great. EVerytime she hits that note it blows me away. Annaliegh was fantastic but I wasn't a big fan of Tracy and Asmeret(sp?). I like Leslie and Dequina(sp?) a lot better. Also, Richard Blake was pretty good, not like incredibly amazing, but good. Christian was good, Micheal was awesome, and Andy Karl is just the cutest thing ever. I didn't see much of Nikki because I was kinda watching it off and on since I taped it but I'm sure was fab as always.

The camera's jumped around waaaaaaay to much though, especially during Positive. But all in all it was good.

My final thoughts...

I am sorry I cannot really finish the whole thing. Seeing Legally Blonde onstage last
April 22 was a better experience for me.. It was live.. I was at the Palace Theater and in NYC... This whole MTV thing seems soo fake for me... The whole audience reaction is just not natural for me.... though I am very happy that MTV did a step like this to promote Broadway...but for me .. still not a substitute for a REAL LIVE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE on Broadway.. Watching this show is like having phone sex ( sorry for the analogy ) Kudos ! to MTV .... I am happy for everyone who had a great time watching this....

IMO :

1. There were only few memorable songs.
2. There were inconsistency with the flow of the musical.
3. Orfeh was great ! that's it !!!
4. Chreoraphy was great .. Jerry Mitchell did agood job but not as a director.
5. Nothing against Laura Bell Bundy .. (she lacks something- she is not believable as Elle...she looks plain dumb to me , not intelligent nor Harvard material like Reese in the movie ) but I dont like her, so with the rest of the girls... ( not including Leslie .. I love her ) they are just jumping around and it annoys the hell out of me (oops sorry )

Overall- Its a cute musical but that's all ! I dont think I can watch it again.. Just not my type of musical
