I find this thread, your opinions on shows and your commentary painfully bad.

I think some of the books for some if the bio musicals like Tina and Beautiful are worse than KA.

Those shows provide opportunities for good performances of good songs, but the material stringing the sings together is fairly pedestrian. 

When Beautiful started getting so many regional productions with casts that are just adequate, the holes in the show became more noticeable.

I tried to like it. I really did. But I can't give Lempicka anything higher than a 3 on a scale of 1-10.

Welll...don't keep us in suspense.  Or did I miss a previous post?

And by "favorite", do you mean favorite good or favorite bad?  I yam very confused.

Part Two:

will moi see you at Tammy Faye and Sunset BLVD the first week of November?  "Perspiring Minds Want to Know"

"Them: Have you seen Hamilton? I saw it on tour last year and it was AWESOME"

"Me: Yes, I saw the original cast, in 2015, on Broadway, in previews, with a $57 ticket that was $570 after th3 crazy press it got after opening"

"Them: Wasn't it the greatest? "Me: "It was the most boring show I've ever seen. I literally fell asleep during act 1. I couldn't wait for it to be over. Seeing Robin Wright and Lucie Arnaz in the lobby were the highlights of my dull, dull evening"

Ok, I get people got tired of the hype around "Hamilton" and probably think it is cool to trash the show. I also understand people have different opinions and this show just may not appeal to them like it did to millions of other people. What I find hard to believe is that anybody can say it was the most boring show they have ever seen - really -lol.

I have recently seen "Heart Of Rock And Roll" and "Stereophonic" and I would give them both three stars.

My favorite show this season is Water For Elephants, the only one that got the ***** rating on the first post. I haven't seen everything yet, but definitely the best I have seen since Funny Girl with Lea Michele.

Regarding Hamilton, I am not trashing the show or anything in my case, but I really didn't enjoy anything about it. Well, the first number was good, then it all went downhill for me. So I technically liked the opening number and that's it.

I just came back from The Outsiders...WHAT a disappointment.  Water for Elephants is still the best show of the season by far.

I on the other hand adore pineapple on pizza.  Shrimp & pineapple on BBQ sauce.  Mmmmm delicious.   But I do have a sweet tooth.

It's definitely a West Coast thing.  But no, not every place has it as a topping.

I'll throw in my 2 cents, and I'm an east coast gal, I LOVE pineapple on pizza. Particularly yummy?  With Ricotta and carmelized onions.  MMMmmmmmm.  (I now live outside of Boston, and every pizza place I know of offers pineapple.)  It's good with jalepeno, too!
