well i'd have to say jessica snow wilson is my least favourite actress. it's not that she's untalented, but she was a pain in the booty to work with and i can't see someone i don't like in a show, and know how they are off-stage. the same goes for michael cerveris. didn't work with him but knew him, and in that time he went from being one of my favourites to one of my least favourites (that and his performance in assassins sucked). the only person i *really* don't like that i don't actually know would be whoever played marta in the kennedy center production of "company." in addition to having poodle hair, she wasn't a very skilled vocalist.
Megan McGinnis (sp?) is a little too constantly perky for my taste. I think Christy Carlson Romano and Christina Applegate (just my opinion) take the cake, though.
why do people say "sorry" before they give their opinion? you shouldn't be sorry for feeling a certain way. and littefish, i was wondering what it is about amy spanger you don't like. her voice? her look? i don't useally see her name on the grand list of annoying people, so i was curious. did you see her in kiss me, kate? it vus like electric seeeeeex! unless of course, she annoys you!
^^ I saw BSM in Kiss Me, Kate and he was dreadful. I've never seen such a "phoned-in" performance on Broadway, let alone one by a leading man of that alledged calibre. Ever since then, whenever I see or hear him, he exudes nothing but smugness and phoniness. I realize people have off-days, but at that level, as an actor, you're just not allowed to let them show. And his voice just seems to get more scoopy by the minute (which in my mind just reads as "faking it").
i do not care for bernadette peters, faith prince,laura benanti and melissa errico. i mention them as there is always a certain amount of hype around whatever they do, a "don't you just LOVETHEM!" collective sigh.
"While the character of Amy is supposed to be annoying and less likeable than the other March sisters you could tell (and I have seen interviews with her) that Amy McAlexander is equally annoying and horrible in real life."
StephanietheStar, you are one to talk about someone being horrible in real life. To come on here and spout poison about someone you don't even know because you didn't care for her performance is pretty horrible. You can dislike her performance but there is no need to attack on a personal level. That makes you a horrible person.
I have four cast recordings with Bernadette Peters. She's good on Sunday in the Park With George. However, I don't like her in Into the Woods and Annie Get Yiour Gun and I HATE her in Gypsy. Marissa Jaret Winokur has about the most nasal voice I haev ever heard on a Broadway stage. I didn't like Amy McAlexander's performance in Little Women AT ALL.
feinstein--I think the reason that people say sorry with their opinion (or remind people that it is just on person's opinon) is because it seems on these boards that people can really get torn apart for their opinions. Just my opinion, though!
yeah i've seen that happen, more times than i'd like. there's a way to discuss opinions without tearing someone else's down. that's why these boards are fun, because you hear different opinions and points of view. so kids, don't be sorry you have an opinion, even if it's an unpopular one! have courage in your convictions... while at the same time having an open mind.

How is she a pain? (Just curious...)
