To Those Who Saw Carrie On Broadway...

In today's interview with Betty Buckley on Playbill.com, she compares Carrie to Rocky Horror and goes so far that audience members started to dress up like characters from the show and even began shouting things to the actors on stage.

Did this actually happen? I feel like it didn't.

Uh, no, that didn't happen when I saw it, and nobody has ever, to my knowledge, mentioned anything like that happening. The poor lady is trying to turn an unmitigated disaster into a camp classic.

No, Betty. That happened when you did Sunset Boulevard.

Miz Buckley needs to get a grip-the gap between what used to be a brilliant talent, and what has sadly become a never ending parade of odd claims like this and even stranger facebook and twitter comments is startling. Her sometimes strange ways used to go unchecked when she was on a run of great stage work and sold out concerts, but the last few times I have seen her she was anything but in top form and the audience kind of let her know it. Her mainstream gigs have seriously declined in recent years, while people her age like LuPone and Peters continue to get mainstream work.

This is coming from a huge Buckley fan too- the woman's voice is among the most listened to on my iPod.

Having been at several of Buckley's concerts, I would like to respectfully disagree. Even when she was dog tired, she still came off very well.

She's always been nuts, and I don't think it's that people are tolerating it less, they're just being made more aware. I've read posts from people who've met her saying how she is bat****, but it wasn't really until the internet era that it became more and more apparent.

If people celebrate LuPone for harassing or haranguing virtually every human being that crosses her path I don't see what the big deal is about Buckley misremembering Carrie's audiences.

Is Disneyland Magic Man the same as tmm fan?
