Maybe she meant it is hard to (bring yourself to) get a ticket?

Oh, duh.

Ever notice they only have Wednesday Matinee audiences telling us how much they LOVED it?

Maybe she is saying that, so when she never goes to the show, she has a excuse.

That was an awful performance of an awful song from a truly awful show.

I liked the performance. I just wish they had picked something to showcase the songs a little more, but I understand why the producers would want to showcase the dancing.

Ah for some reason this won't load for me--is it on youtube? What did they perform? (I'm not even a fan but am curious to see how it compares with the View performance)

Was it the same number/medley?

Not really. They sang a breif "If I Said I Loved You" and then did the Wedding dance. It was about half the length of the performance on the View.

I'm curious if you guys ever get tired of being mean. Does it make you feel better about yourselves? I'm really just curious.

It's not that mean. I'm sure most people involved with the production would candidly agree that it was amusing that she said that. I mean, they read the reviews, right? And attendance went down 7.3% this past week.

It actually does make me feel better about myself. 'Cause I think to myself, I can fall flat on my face in front of a million people but that still wouldn't be as unfortunate as THE PIRATE QUEEN.

I may even put the logo as my wallpaper to remind me - I can always do worse.

Though, tell you the truth, I love me some uilleann pipes. So, I can't wait for the recording.
