-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Glad to see this bumped up too. I remember my 1st post, I think it had something to do with a thread for posters from the old broadwayworld site:
"I think I'm gonna like it here" (a quote from Annie)
I have indeed!

Posted: 2/11/07 at 7:01pmI dunno, first thread, title song from what is widely considered the first musical theatre piece, seems appropriate, no?

Wow. Like just about everyone else, I really have nothing constructive to add, but felt the need to post. Never would have found this on my own . . . my computer and the search button just don't get along that well!
"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you:
-Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off!
-Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch!
-I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that.
-Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say.
-Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular!
-Bed made, room straightened. We've done that.
-Colors blended. Oookay.
-But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile."
~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

Broadway.com closed down their message board in early May 2003. Although they took down the link from their website, I had the URL of the board bookmarked so those who had it on their favorites were still able to use it. Broadway.com administration created a thread to tell us the board was going to be deleted because of how immature we were and the arguments that kept taking place.
Rob came over and created a post saying he created a new Broadway website and there was a message boards over there. So I clicked on his link, joined, and have never again had a need to visit Broadway.com except for the occasional video clip.
Broadway.com's biggest mistake was closing their message boards. I am sure they lost a LOT of traffic due to it. BWW now has the immature users and arguments that take place. What Broadway.com failed to realize was that "online drama" happens anywhere. There is no utopia. Not everyone is in harmony. Broadway has problems, people have problems, and now we discuss these problems (and blessings, too) at BroadwayWorld.com. Without the BroadwayWorld.com community and Broadway.com closing their board, it may very well be that BWW would have disappeared into obscurity and Broadway.com remained dominant.
Broadway.com's audience is now mainly naive tourists looking to see what the heck Broadway shows are. Very seldom do they have exclusive news. Occasionally there will be a video clip there (in which I find out about from the BWW boards) that I'll go watch, but that's it. People go to BWW.com (and Talkin Broadway) for their Broadway dish.
Kudos to Rob and Craig and the gang for creating a wonderful enviornment for the online theatre community. You continue to improve this already marvelous website.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I had been posting on ATC since its inception a decade ago, but decided to check out BWW after a friend of mine told me she was going to be writing reviews for the site.
I joined BWW back during its original month of operation in May '03, but didn't post anything and went back over to ATC. Since BWW was just starting out, the board didn't seem to be as active as ATC.
I decided to check out BWW about a year later and was surprised to see how much it had evolved! The message board was thriving and, unlike ATC, I could post my thought in any number of meaningless polls! I have been hooked on BWW ever since and have rarely gone back to ATC.
I prefer the way BWW has everything set up. The search feature (no matter how many flaws it has) is a GREAT option, and it is nice that once threads roll off the main page they don't fall into oblivion. If I want to find out what people were saying about such-and-such a show back in 2004 -- all I have to do is search for it!
I second Capn's kudos to Rob and Craig for a great site!
