Legendary, triple threat, here's a word, HYPERBOLE! Seriously, it's painful and Paul Canaan and the other judges are the WORST part of it. Heather Hach is too useless to be that mean. Can we also stop referring to her as "the real Elle Woods"? Seriously.

When did they refer to Hach as that?

I thought Paul Canaan said it. I can't sit through it again so you'll have to take my word for it.

I loved Seth's recap making Broadway refrences that he knows no one outside this board would know.

I don't like that Heather Hach is one of the judges because I am not very impressed by her. I thought that her remarks a while back about adapting Legally Blonde into a musical were not the smartest.

I don't understand the coincidence about the 2 cassies trying out for a broadway show. Fill me in?

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I? I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Post the link to Seth's recap, please.

"Lindsey Ridgeway"

Really? It looks nothing like her. Or was she another Lindsey who got cut?

It is not the same Lindsey as Boy Meets World. The bios on the website and online don't match up. In addition, the Boy Meets World Lindsey spells her last name RidgEway, while the one on MTV's website doesn't have an E. I think it is just a strange coincidence.

I really liked Lauren. She was pretty solid on the singing and I think did really well with the acting, she kept raising the bar and I liked that.

I just watched the clips of them on the MTV website doing the full song and Autumn is far and away the strongest of the bunch.

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

I just watched it. I hope every one agrees with me that the girls suck.... bad. But I only saw the end where they're butchering "So Much Better"

Mary does look like Kelli O'Hara... now if only she sang like her.

i think they should have had them sing before danced and then they could have found some strong singers from the beginning

and i agree, some of them are SOO conceited!!!

I cannot believe they cut Rachel. Not only was she one of the strongest singers, she was so down to Earth! She'd be a great Mary Poppins or Belle. She totally has the winsome Disney girl thing going for her.

Autumn was also good. Everyone else....I honestly contemplated ripping out my ear drums. And most of these girls have no right to be as conceited as they are! Ugh, it drives me nuts. The worst part is that since I am a theatre person (and you guys will probably all relate to this!), a million people are going to want to talk about the show with me. And they will think their opinions are totally "awesumn!!!" and when I say I hate the show, they will treat me like I have no idea what I'm talking about!

So I finally watched it today.
Dear God.
I know most of us, me included, do not care for LBB, but after this...she looks like Patti LuPone at one of those infamous high school productions of Gypsy.

Why not pick people who can sing on pitch?
Or better yet...people that can go 32 seconds without saying something astoundingly conceited, like..."I love my voice."

MMG i agree with exactly what you said
and i agree but the limo ride being ridiculous, saying 5-7 minutes is generous, I would say it would take about 3.

into the woods - keep in mind though they need to be able to sing after dancing their butts off, you know?

Maybe they should do us all a favor and just close this craptacular.
