After Morgan James did what she to "Turn Back O Man" in Godspell every night she should be ashamed.
I don't work in any aspect of the theater and have no aspiration to. I feel comfortable saying whatever I want about a show or performer. She should learn to save her criticism for private conversations.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Her tweet is gone if anyone cares.
She just posted this though
And note: supporting my theatre community--which I DO--does not mean I have to *like* everything.

Who IS this Morgan James character? She's tweeting about a bumpy first preview of a Sondheim-Lapine musical with Donna Murphy, Chip Zien, Dennis O'Hare, and Amy Adams when all she has on her Broadway resume is a mediocre musical, a bad musical and a bad revival of a mediocre musical?
Sounds like she'll be around for a LOOOONG time.

Broadway people never ever learn when it comes to social media.
Anyhoo, any reports? Or is it still going on?

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:05pmShe seems to not realize just how strong her tweet was.

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:06pmBack to the subject: I think I'm most curious about how Amy Adams did.

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:08pmAgreed Wynbish! We all know Murphy is going to be fantastic, but I really want to hear about Adams!!

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:10pmAnd she's right. She doesn't have to like everything. And she had ever right to post her tweet. But it was a little tacky. There were rumors of trouble and clearly some people are out hoping for blood, so there you go.

I feel like with Donna, her reception mostly comes down to the audience's personal tastes.
It's like Michael Jordan playing baseball. Amy is great on screen, but this is a different game.

New tweet
?@SaraEileen
Incredibly clever ideas & Amy Adams is stellar. But poor chemistry b/n leads, awkward staging, and dozens of flubbed lines. I'm amazed

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:15pmThe only thing I've seen Donna live in was Follies and I thought she was fantastic. And I do love Amy and Denis, so I want this to be a success.

Well, considering that she SHOULD know that her colleagues may read her tweets, the woman strikes me as rather dumb. I don't like to use that term, but when the shoe fits...
Added to that her subsequent tweet (god I hate that word)...come on! This is your profession, lady! Do you really want to piss so many people off so early into your career?
Yes...they say all "press" is good press if it gets your name out there, but I personally never want to see this actress because of her lack of professionalism and..well...class.

What IS this? Do they feel they can Tweet because it was Shakespeare in the Park and it's free?
How WAS Amy Adams, though? I've always thought she was great in movies, and here's hoping she's great in this part!

Scott Alan had this to say after replying to Matt Doyle's response.

We should support one another in this industry. If you don't want to be kind, get the **** out ! And, yes, that even goes for friends.

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:21pmSeriously, how was "Moments in the Woods"? Sarcastically, Was Donna in the green dyed wedding dress?

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:23pmI'm curious about "No More" as well. It must be thrilling to watch Chip singing the other half.

RE: Scott...AWKWARDDDDD..wonder if they'll work together again.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:27pmcan someone please post a review!
#222The Public Theatre's Shakespeare/Park presents INTO THE WOODS -- Discussion
Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:27pmWell, Hunter Foster had a point. I mean, it was a little too "Hollywood" that year at the Tony Awards. He shouldn't have started a Facebook petition, but he wasn't wrong. What Ms. James Tweeted about was wrong. It's a first preview of a big musical in an outdoor theater. Did things get any better after the first preview of WONDERLAND?

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:29pmThis feels ripped from the story boards of Gossip Girl. She made a stupid mistake and instead of arguing about her right to tweet whatever she wants she should apologize and stop tweeting for a few weeks.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Posted: 7/24/12 at 11:32pmI cannot wait for a review. Super intrigued to hear about Amy Adams, and also the chemistry between Adams and O' Hare. I'm sure they're both fab though. The set looks GORGEOUS.
