"The show is great fun and entertains and does it well but no its not high art."

Why can't we discuss the negative and positive aspects of a piece of 'fun entertainment' as well as we can discuss the negative and positive aspects of 'high art'? I don't understand such a prejudice, songanddanceman2.

"Borle is more completely forgettable on screen than he is on stage. There's nothing warm or charming about him, just my opinion."

I definitely respectfully disagree. I think he's wonderful. I do think he reads better during the stage show though. Ratty corduroy rocks.

Those Hills girls are weird. And bad at reading teleprompters.

like i said, i dont care if you like the show or not, its not constructive whats been said by some people on here its just bitchy, thats what bothers me

Of course, the one thing she can help with is appearance.

[InfiniteTheaterFrenzy]

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:41pm

What's constructive is subjective, no?

and to go back a bit, because i didn't see this answered:
So for those who have seen it, have they changed dialoug for this broadcast?

they had to delete a reference to 'get you high,' and two uses of 'tits' were changed to 'boobs.' Other than that I believe all dialogue remained the same.

What's bitchy to you, is just criticism to others

Just in case people on here weren't aware. What you are watching right now on MTV was edited from 3 seperate performances.

1 performance was with a regular audience
1 performance was without an audience (for certain camera angles)
1 performance was with the pink-clad MTV audience (and those HILLS girls)

The September 18, 2007 MTV performance wasn't the only performance filmed.

Shame on Jerry Mitchell. Jumping rope? Really? How sad.

Subtext, by Calvin Klein. Love it!

[InfiniteTheaterFrenzy]

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:44pm

I never noticed "subtext by Calvin Klein" was Kate Wetherhead! This is fun.

Christian Borle is too cute. And this song is really good Musical Theatre 101 character development.

I've made several comments that are constructive because I felt they made the wrong decisions. I guess it's easier to write them all off as bitchy comments just for the sake of being mean instead of acknowledging that the show isn't 100% perfect.

"Shame on Jerry Mitchell. Jumping rope? Really? How sad."

It's not a chosen gimmick... it's a genuine plot point that he turned into a fun unique dance number.

Those actors are good though. The fact they can get the audience to stop clapping and stop hogging for applause for themselves is pretty nice.

[ScottyDoesn'tKnow]

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:46pm

I don't see what's wrong with the jumping rope either, except it being sorta boring.

[songanddanceman2]

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:47pm

of course the show isnt perfect lol

And i actually like your posts orangeskittles and was not talking about you.

Shows are open for discussion and thats great (especially when the are so accessible as this is)

[harris007]

again another nasty comment from someone WITH A GREASE ICON

Bwaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh OK then.

okay, i am an hour in and the only good songs have been non-Elle songs "Blood in the Water" and "Ireland" - i think i'll let Tivo get the rest of it and fast fwd the boring parts.

Kate Shindle is so boring and non-interesting as Vivian.

"Ohmygod You Guys" is grating and obnoxious.

[BDrischBDemented]

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:49pm

Christian Borle sans pants was kind of nice. The cast in line with him gets to see a much better show than I in that respect.

[ruprecht]

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:50pm

Andy Karl is hoooooot.

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:53pm

God, Bundy's speaking voice (at least as Elle) is super fucking annoying. Stop speaking through your nose, sweetheart.

Tracy Jai sounds great on Bend and Snap. Who said she's not good in the part?!?!?!?

[ohjustjake]

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:57pm

I'm actually really enjoying this show so far.

BTW, How do you pronounce Orfeh?

And Christian Borle... I like him as an actor. But as a singer... just a little odd.

[carymetorent2]

Posted: 10/13/07 at 2:57pm

theatreguy, I would suggest staying put. Kate Shindle sings the SH*T out of the LB remix.

And word, Ruprecht :-P
