Allison Case gets on my nerves sometimes.
I cannot stand Patti LuPone in any capacity whatsoever.
Johanna Day was a better Barbara than Amy Morton.
Everyone loves "Eat the fish, bitch," but my favorite August: Osage County quote will always be, "You don't wanna break sh!t with ME, muthaf-cka!"

That's actually my favorite line as well.

I HATED Spring Awakening, and I saw the original Broadway cast. Most of them were very talented.. but I thought the show had WAY too many characters and too many plots. Way too many things happening, and most of the plots came out of nowhere and went nowhere. I also think it's funny that people were saying that it was "The new Rent" yet it only stayed open for a little over 2 years, and Rent was open for almost 12 and half. I will admit that the length of a show's production does not always means its better than shortlived ones, or even good at all (Cats), but I still find it funny.
The Only show that I thought was worse than Spring Awakening was The Color Purple. I have never been so bored in my life. I hated everything about it, I've never been so happy to see Curtain Call take place before. Those were the two worst shows I ever saw.
I also do not like Eden Espinoza's singing. I think it's very screechy, and does wayy too many riffs.. Stephen Schwartz shouldve yelled at her for the way she would sing Defying Gravity.
All very unpopular opinions, but I stand by them strongly.

I half expect Margaret's last words at the church door to be "She's all yours, suckers!"

As far as Eden Espinosa's singing, I believe your comment is a popular one, actually. No one ever says her name without packing in an insult on this board, at least in my experience. I for one thought she was wonderful as the titular Brooklyn in BKLYN, but only because her character was supposed to be green, innocent and self-trained. :) She definitely has an impressive voice, but yes, she overdoes it. I thought she was very underwhelming as Elphaba, too, when I saw her do it in February 2006. I never saw a performer so casually walk through a major musical theatre role until I saw her do this. I would not be surprised if I found out she was ill the night I saw her.
Well, that's enough of that.

I have expect Margaret's last words at the church door to be "She's all yours, suckers!""
lol. (Just the way you said it not laughing at you or anything).
But still, if this were the case then why would she initially be hesitant to the idea of Clara getting married/being with Fabrizzio (was that his name? I can't remember)

I do not think rap has a place in musical theatre *ahem...ITH...*
(or maybe it's the fact that that musical gets on my nerves anyways)

Still love the show despite my misgivings about the plot.

I'm sorry, but unless you have some reasoning I'm missing, that is an incredibly close-minded statement. Whether or not you like ITH is beside the point. Hip Hop is a perfectly legitimate style of music, not to mention a wildly popular one. It deserves its place on Broadway just like rock music did/does.

I didnt think the 3 billys deserved the tony(s). I think it was done to spice things up and was more gimmick than anything.
I really enjoyed 9 to 5 and Shrek the Musical.
I thought the last incarnation of Waiting for Godot was terribly boring, dispite its interesting story.
Enjoyed Hair and rock of ages, but didnt get too into either show. could have took of left it

Patti is great, but not all that and a bag of chips like she thinks she is.

I also think that Greg Jbara did not even deserve to be in the Supporting Actor category (hello, Aaron Tveit!!) let alone win.
And...I liked Glory Days...
