Posted: 5/15/11 at 7:28pmWhat part of Janet was going to be out this weekend but because her show announced it was closing changed her plans and came back for the show today is so hard to comprehend?

Posted: 5/15/11 at 8:01pmI'm sorry but why do people think that just cuz a majority of people on board hate a show makes it the worst show of the season? I for one think that award goes to WOTV and Spider-Man...and Baby its You....

This show proved to me that there are different tastes in the world. I see just about all the musicals every year. That being said..I loved this show. The music and book were both great to me. It was a simple story but hey its Alice in Wonderland. I can't imagine how something like Catch me if You Can.. which was totally boring will last over Wonderland. CMIYC had great performances but it was just boring. And Book of Morman gets all the praise this season...now that show was just moronic, blasphemy, that was uninspired and I've seen camp done so much better.
There is just a hatred for Frank Wildhorn..I don't get it. However it was smart for the producers to cut their loses. Another Broadway tragedy. Guess people rather see the overhyped "popular" shows. IE. Phantom

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Posted: 5/15/11 at 9:57pmI accept your view, but to me some things are not funny.Whether ficional or not some things are sacred and I'm not even Mormon. I wonder if a show about mocking the Jewish religion would be so well received? Putting subject matter aside I feel Book of Morman was just childish. Walmartopia and Bat Boy are better examples of camp.
