Tootsie- worst musical of the year

"I defy anyone to convince me that Tootsie is anything but the worst musical of the year."



You already made up your mind. Why would you need anyone to convince you otherwise?

In order to be willing to invest the time to do that, people would have to value your opinion.

You already declared it the worst musical of the year. Why would anyone waste their time trying to convince you otherwise? Are you trying to ruin it for everyone who hasn't seen it? Or make someone who has seen and enjoyed it feel like they're an idiot for liking it? I just don't understand the need to start a thread for one person's negative opinion of a particular show, unless it's to draw attention to yourself.

Do you not realize that people have their own opinions? How dare you defy other people's opinions as if you know it all and have the last word.

You’re joking, right?



This is THEIR opinion. Yes, they have as much right as anyone else to post THEIR opinion.



And I’m not sure this person felt that their opinion was the last word on the subject. They were JUST VOICING THEIR OWN OPINION!!!!



You WERE joking, right? RIGHT???

Give it a rest, Skip.

He was defying anyone to convince him otherwise.

If you can categorically state that it is the "worst musical of the year," then you must be comparing it against every single other musical on Broadway because you've seen them all. True or not?



"It is so clear that Yazbek did it for the paycheck."

What proof do you offer to back up this claim?



"For all the talk of how funny I was told it was I was surrounded by audience members who barely laughed."

Must one laugh out loud to appreciate something that is funny?



" I should add that when the show was over throngs of audience members got up and left without staying for the curtain call."

Did these "throngs" tell you personally why they left when the show was over?



"Its an awful looking set with summer stock choreography performed by an ensemble that looked like they would rather be somewhere like Hadestown."

You could tell just by looking at them that they wanted to be somewhere else, like Hadestown? Are you psychic?



"I want my two and a half hours back."

If it was the worst musical of the year, you must have known that early-on. Why didn't you just leave at intermission, which would have saved you some of those two and a half hours?

Mitch, feel free to have that opinion, but there are about 5 existing Tootsie threads, your view truly did not need its own.

Where is that person who said Beetlejuice killed his soul or something?

Well I will never see Tootsie but I did see that performance on some TV show.

Now that would NOT want me to buy a ticket and if I were Mr Fontana would certainly not have performed in that space. The whole thing looked like a scene out in Times Square with the chorus rushing about and pushing props for the big 'reveal'--and as for their 'costumes'??

There's something that doesn't seem 'right' about Mr Fontana whether it's his Tootsie clothes or his manner, and as I have said previously, how do eye glasses make one more feminine? Tootsie should look more Mrs Doubtfire, it would be funnier and be able to address he/she totally in a different way.

Maybe the next Tootsie will have the balls to do that.
