I think Sondheim fans such as pennybankBill are pretentious and the very reason why many people find them obnoxious.

I think Cheno is obnoxious. I'm also in love with her, though.

I liked Russell Crowe in Les Miserables - I hated Anne Hathaway.

They should have let Natalie Wood do her own singing in West Side Story and just edited her voice, or not have cast her at all. She was really suffering from a depression at the time and finding out she was dubbed really hurt her, not to mention people on set were pretty mean to her about her voice and her dancing.

Wait, now I'm pretentious? Buddy, you don't know me and I sure as hell don't know you, but I was just saying Sondheim doesn't seem very pretentious when he lists two comedies rife with dick and fart jokes as his favorite movies.

To echo a few...

-I don't think Santino Fontana is attractive at all.
-Liza Minelli is WAY overrated
-I didn't think Anne Hathaway was all that great in the Les Mis movie

I thought Russell Crowe was an excellent Javert.
Both American Idiot and Rent should still be on Broadway.

Les Miz movie was overrated and now everyone is going to copy Anne Hathaway's hack performance of I Dreamed a Dream.

I listen to Wonderland (Concept Album) once a week. Wonderland could be a good musical if it wasn't trying to be wicked. Frank Wildhorne has become a guilty pleasure but needs a good book writer.

Yes rorschach37, I liked Russel Crowe in Les Miz. People complained about his singing. Amanda Seyfried's singing was worse.

I hated ONCE and thought it was a depressing piece of sh!+ that didn't have an ounce of hope in it.

I think that Alexia Khadime is the best Elphie and that Idina Menzel is only second best.

1) I thought Chad Kimball was great in "Memphis".
2) "Noises Off" was the worst show I ever saw on Broadway.
3) I happen to like some of Frank Wildhorn's music.

Oh and I forgot one:

1) Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth just weren't the best Elphaba and Glinda.

Amanda Seyfried-I find her voice a little annoying... The higher she goes-the more shrilled it sounds (imo)

well, most of my 'fellow-students' absolutely love her voice and they think she's amazing. I disagree... a lot

OK here are some more
-Idina Menzel cannot sing well
-prefer Sherie Rene over Idina
-I think Judy Kuhn has the perfect Broadway voice, over Cheno, Sutton, Audra, and everyone else
-I really want to hear a recording of LaChanze's Sarah from Ragtime. I think she actually would be better than Audra.

Thought of another one, and this is controversial among my fellow musical theatre addicts:
I do not ship the Phantom and Christine. I ship Christine and Raoul , therefore, I think that Love Never Dies just ruins stuff.

^I have never seen Love Never Dies, only heard the music, but I agree.

oh trust me, you're not missing out on anything. The whole point of Phantom was that you didn't know what happened-but everything gets explained in Love never dies! Also, there is only (in my opinion) one good song.

I always feel bad for the guys like Raoul. Poor guy, just wants to be loved, but instead she's off with this abusive ghost guy who's favourite activities include romantic songs and killing people.

EXACTLY!-I agree entirely! And also, I don't understand why she has a thing for a semi-serial-killer... 'Tis a little odd in my opinion, but I still love Phantom
