I love Legally Blonde: The Musical!

A Tale of Two Cities deserved a better run,..and to not get ravished by the reviews it got.

Jekyll & HYDE got robbed of a Tony Nomination in 1997. Furthermore, Linda Eder should have gotten a nomination as well (regardless of what many say of her acting...).

Woman in White was robbed of a scenic-design nomination in 2006! Excellent projections, yet the reviews were mixed. If it would have opened this year, it would have been thought of differently...hmmmmm.

Frank Wildhorn is an excellent composer.

Rent is overrated.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is only hated for his success,...and clearly Phantom of the Opera is an awful show because it's only been running for what, 21 years now? Yes but it's a bad show; clearly not.

Helena Bonham-Carter ruined the Sweeney Todd film for me. I couldn't understand a word she sang.

I loved High Fidelity and it needed a way longer run on Broadway.

- I don't mind paying full price for tickets
- I used to dislike Laura Benanti, now I am in love with her
- Evita, yes. ALW, no.
- Wicked, yes. Stephen Schwartz, no.
- I just don't like SITPWG, and I've given it many chances.

I'll always love Wicked, no matter how popular it gets. Same goes for Spring Awakening and Rent.

I think Frank Wildhorn is one of the greatest composers of our time.

I thought the Little Mermaid was awesome.

Beltingbaritone, I'm so glad that I'm not the only Little Mermaid fan in the world. And it's comforting to know that there are Little Mermaid fans who aren't little girls in High School Musical t-shirts. (Because in all barefaced honesty, I am a little girl in a HSM t-shirt.)

-I love the rent movie rent movie and as an insomniac watch it once a week.
-I think the wicked musical movie should only be made with Idina Kristen,and Norbert otherwise a version of the movie should not be made and the should film the book version instead --which is better for screen anyways.
- I think that Les Miz, Miss Saigon, and Cats should have been considered Broadway staples and not been allowed to close. ever.
-City center should bring back shows like the Sweeney Revival for one night stands for charity
- Thought the apple tree at roundabout was phenomenal
- I HATE hairspray
- I HATE shows with kids in them
- I would rather go ice skating or clean toilets than see the following: Shrek, Young Frankenstein, In the Heights. Oh and I can't skate.

Mama Mia ranks as one of the worse musicals - and ill conceived - of all times!

Most of ALW's work is very good

I don't care for Barbara Cook's version of "Losing My Mind"

I think "Send In the Clowns" is one of Sondheim's worst songs

I think Lucille Ball was fairly decent in Mame

I prefer "Let Me Dance For You" over "Music and the Mirror"

I have disagreed with the decisions the Tony voters have made in regards to Best Musical from the 2005 season until today.

I find In the Heights and Spring Awakening to be highly overrated.

HSM2 on stage was good
HSM3 was REALLY REALLY REALLY Enjoyable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Schmerg, Seirra Boggess was breathtaking, Sherie Rene Scott was fierce, Sean Palmer was a breath of fresh air, and Norm Lewis is my favorite baritone of like all time. I also loved the sets (another unpopular opinion I hold).

Titus Burgess, on the other hand, was disappointing.

I love Disney Broadway productions.

I can't stand Oprah.

I think Frank Langella was terrible in both versions of Frost/Nixon - the deep, lumbering voice makes it too hard for him to be expressive, so the performance is mostly a basso monotone, interspersed with pseudo-soulful staring into space. Happy to see him get the acclaim, but he doesn't deserve it for this performance.

I absolutely love everything that Daphne Rubin-Vega does. Including her Fantine.

I really, really enjoyed Brooklyn: The Musical.

Mamma Mia on stage? Bleh. Mamma Mia the Movie? Oh yes.

-I like Zac Efron and think he's a talented guy.
-Carol Burnett was the best Miss Hannigan that ever lived. (Along with Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters as Rooster and Lily).
-I enjoyed the movie Rent.
-I prefer the film version of "My Friends" and "Epiphany" in Sweeney Todd.

I liked zac in hairspray and it was nice to see him doing something else then HSM. I think is Love Vanessa is a bitch and is holding him back

I'm a die hard RENThead and I'm not afraid to admit that I do scream when I see RENT because I can't control myself when I see them on stage.

I love Idina but I think she can be stuck up at times.

I would never be able to see the little mermaid on broadway because I would laugh at the costumes the entire time. But at the same time I do think Sierra is an amazing singer.

I watch I'll cover you from RENT 10 every day....It's my drug

- Idina Menzel is talented. She's not as AmAzIng as the fangirls think she is, but she's talented
- I loved RENT.
- I'm excited to see the spanish in the WSS revival
- Laura Benanti in Gypsy was only ok for me.
- I didn't like the first act of Gypsy that much, other than the performances.
