Was Josh Canfield on as Anatole? As a Survivor fan, I've really been wanting to know how he's been.

Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812 is flat out NOT a good musical. The story is nothing, the music is either weird or just describing what they're doing, and several scenes are dreadful (i.e. the loony old man, the rave, and Balaga who can't sing). The set and lights are damn impressive, and it's cool they interact with the audience, but it's just flat out not a good show.

I'll have to check my Playbill, when I get home. But whoever played Anatole definitely didn't make me wish I had seen someone else. He was great.

Barrett Doss deserved Patti's tony nomination.

I think it's been mentioned, but American Pyscho deserved better.

Well Barrett Doss wasn't eligible in Patti's category...so you should take this up with Rachel Bay Jones, Jenn Colella, Mary Beth Peil, Stephanie J. Block or Kate Baldwin.

I see Andrew Rannells as more of an actor who flourishes in a comedic role. When seeing him as Whizzer where he has a lot of those emotional scenes towards the end, I didnt feel anything.

YES. I hate his high notes and while I'm a lesbian, I don't find him "hot" either. I still think I'm not over hearing him butcher Hedwig too.

I don't find him attractive but I think he's attractive in way beautiful anime boys are attractive. And with the styling, that's how I interpreted that character. I found his acting a little bland and while his singing was impressive (that long note, the high range), it didn't really move me. I thought it worked with the rest of the production but I wouldn't feel upset if he were out the way I would if some of the rest of the cast was out when I saw the show.

I just choked on my coffee laughing at this sentence.

I love the musical Women of the Year!   She's a bit too old now, but I would of loved a revival 10 years ago with Glenn Close and James Naughton.  Currently, I'd be happy to see Vanessa Williams and Norm Lewis star in a revival.

This is the unpopular opinions thread. This is exactly the place to post negative views on a performer. A few posts up there are similar posts on Lucas Steele which no one has objected to.

^Yes, but they haven't started thread after thread after thread to share their sick opinions.

[froote]

Posted: 6/27/17 at 8:34pm

Okay but keep the complaints to the other threads, this thread is clearly a free for all for negative opinions on actors.

^Shut up, froote.  We get it you hate DEH and you love TGC.  Sick of idiots like you on this board.

Oh for goodness sake, no one even mentioned TGC. I dislike DEH but enjoyed Ben's performance. That's not the point. I'm sick of the hypocrisy that every show can be insulted on here but as soon as its DEH related people like you run in to call everyone haters and tell them they need to be banned. Read this whole thread, no one else has been told to shut up for expressing a negative opinion on a performer until now.

I really appreciate being told to shut up and being called an idiot after I stuck up for you the other day in the Miss Saigon thread. Wish I hadn't now.

I've never seen a performer quite so wrongfully crucified in like 4 threads and still have people defend the attacker.  You don't see anything wrong with that?

You love TGC, as do I, but you will always find a way to trash DEH at any chance.  You've created this sort of divide between people who like certain shows.

Btw this thread should not exist.  It's horrible, mean-spirited and awful, like most things on this board.  I'm beginning to realize that this board is made up of losers who never went anywhere in life and like to trash other people's work.

Get over yourselves.

Then it's clear you haven't been on these boards long. Plenty of performers have had much worse written on here about them. I'm not defending the poster, I'm defending their right to post an unpopular opinion on the unpopular opinion thread without being attacked. Attack them in the other ridiculous thread if you must.

Again, this has nothing to do with TGC and it's ridiculous to suggest I have created any divide in the fanbases. People are free to like both shows, neither or one of the two and I haven't tried to stop any of that.

I post my opinions - positive and negative - about shows. Unlike you, I allow others to do the same without jumping on them. 

It's clear that you don't like these boards so why don't you stop using them instead of insulting everyone that posts on them and suggesting long running threads should be removed and users that have been here for over a decade be banned? You don't run this place.

^Because theatreguy11 is a horrible right-wing psyco troll. He should be banned.

 And yes you and your fellow comet fanatics and the CFA fanatics have gone out of their way to make sure that everyone knows that they hate DEH and anyone that has anything to do with it.

Also, I'm on these boards to stay in the loop.  Also, I will jump on someone's opinion if I smell BS, which I am smelling quite strongly right now, all over these boards.  I doubt that most of the people posting on here have seen many of the shows that they're commenting on.

I am most certainly not that poster.  I've been lurking on these boards since 2016.

I just read some of your previous posts.

Sorry, what exactly is the issue with expressing a negative opinion on a show on a Broadway message board? Why do you jump on people when they say they dislike DEH and not any other show? And please direct me to any of my posts where I've said I hate anyone involved with the show. I like many of them in fact.

Yes only your opinions are right so only you have seen the shows. Of course.
