"Thanks to the first amendment, StephanCasey is freely permitted to rant on whatever topic or person he/she desires."
I don't know that the Constitution is the governing doctrine of BWW, considering any moderator can just delete threads at will.

Here's another question for you all. Don't you think Idina Menzel looks like Katharine McPhee in the If/Then ads. know they look very different in real life but Idina doesn't really look herself in those ads.

Posted: 6/27/14 at 6:34pmNo but she looks scarily similar to Lea Michele.
"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

Let's hope she does not start to lobby for the role of Fanny Brice as well.
Edit: I was referring to Katherine McPhee and not Idina Menzel

Thanks to the first amendment, StephanCasey is freely permitted to rant on whatever topic or person he/she desires.
Actually that's a common misconception about the First Amendment.
Contrary to the Headband's statement above, the First Amendment has nothing whatsoever to do with StephanCasey's freedom to rant on BroadwayWorld.
The Fiorst Amendment states Congress shall make no law...see? this amendment is only about Congress not about BroadwayWorld...respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...so far, nothing about StephanCasey or Idina Menzel...or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press...so you see? The First Amendment is only there to keep Congress from making laws about speech or religion...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble...just like we're assembled here on BroadwayWorld--Congress can't tell us not to--but there's nothing giving StephanCasey the right to rant and nothing giving the Headband a constitutional right to wag a finger at ShakinBacon and deny her the right to call him a nincompoop or a sockpuppet...and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. (That last part is neither here nor there.)
So you see: the First Amendment protects us ONLY from Congress and not from each other.
Lots of people claim a First Amendment right to say stupid things and I find it irritating.

Maybe she gags on clichéd lyrics.
Pharrell was robbed.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 6/27/14 at 11:36pmIdina is like Bette Midler. Both of them have fancied themselves as rockers but they really aren't Janis Joplin. Leave the hard rocking to the girls who can do it.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Idina doesn't look like Lea Michele. Lea looks like her.

Explain this from her first album. It ain't Broadway, it ain't jazz or easy listening.
