Warning: Tricks the Devil Taught Me — Page 7

I'm sorry GhostLight - you told me many times on this Message Board about how you "understood" and how you could "help me." You are no different than Tony Georges. NYC is now learning what I have said - Tony Georges is an empty suit. His ideas, his projections, his work is all crap.

What is incredibly odd to me is that you wish to continue to defend him. Tony Georges is a lazy guy. Like many of the Reviewers' have said - his product is incomplete. Con-men like Tony sell sizzle without any steak. People invested because they thought the title of the show "Trick the Devil Taught Me" was clever or smart. But, the idiots (including those who became the cast and crew) never looked at the play itself. If they had, they would not have risked their reputations. I think they ALL deserve to lose for being lazy, too.

I took down my website last week because two guys came to see me and threatened me. I guess you're okay with that, too?

Tony Georges raises money on false premises. He doesn't have anything of value, he just presents it that way and a few gullible investors give him money. That scam is over.

Reviews of the show are the same as reviews of Tony Georges business practices - crap.

So, stop talking down to me. Go see the show, but hurry, it only has a few days left.

Yes, we are all in collusion against you

What I find curious is how Robbie knows the advance (1500, is that what he said? Really?), and how he knows whether the show is really selling that poorly (those reviews won't help it).

But I have a feeling that the bad reviews will kill the show. Not the government (if they'd been looking into it, and there had been wrong doing with the filings, then I think they'd have shut it down a long time ago.

It's a weird situation, because if what he says is true, I totally get where he's coming form. But yet... nothing he's predicted has yet to happen. Very odd. What to believe....

Whatever happens... it's a fascinating bit of theatre happening right now, if not on then off stage! I hope someone writes a tell-all. Heh.

Darn 'error' message!

Ok...the show stinks. That doesn't make him a crook...even if he has had questionable OR illegal actions in the past. SOME people do change.

Once again: WE on this board can't do anything about it. I do believe you started this thread with the best intentions, but there is nothing else you can do here.

Well at first this thread was entertaining (going by the reviews, more entertaining than this play). Now, it's just...sad. But if anyone would like to judge for themselves whether they like this show or not, the entirety of next week is available for free on www.goldstar.com I'm certainly going to try and make it. I know everyone keeps saying, "It's bad, and not in that so bad it's good way," but I just can't help myself!

How is this show still running??

It's closing.

No, we always understood. Tony Georges is a mediocre director and playwright who may or may not have broken the law five years ago, and you're a paranoid, delusional musician in your early 20s who has a Javert-like obsession with exacting revenge on him. It's pretty simple, actually.

It would appear the show is closing because of bad ticket sales. Shows close because of that all the time. Don't know what did/didn't happen in TX, but there's no evidence from anyone (at this time) that the show is closing because of any wrong-doing on his part.

So I'm not getting the "maybe now you understand," bit. I mean, I've read the posts, I get it... but we've seen dozens of allegations of this production in particular, and none have been proven.
