...did the blonde lady seriously say it was a hard ticket to get?

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)

the view performance was much better.

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.

Poor potential.

Posted: 6/4/07 at 11:00pm

Wow cuz the View performance was only 3 mins--if Todya gae them only half that they really didn't give them much

I do not know what they performed, but my wife called me at the office to tell that is sounded great.

Your wife has good taste. I like it too.

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.

[B3TA07]

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.
