Why do all the ROA fans seem to think that reviews make their show 'God' — Page 4

I'm more concerned with the idiot who started this thread and how his nurse let him anywhere near a keyboard without his meds.

Obviously more people are "seeing" 9 to 5 because there are more seats in the Marquis. Duh! They can't put more seats into the Brooks Atkinson. More people saw Young Frankenstein than is seeing The Norman Conquests because the Hilton has a TON of seats. It doesn't mean that Young Frankenstein is this masterpiece. Stupid. Just stupid logic.

Seems like a waste of money to buy something you know you won't use.

You know, it's funny...God was at Rock of Ages last night, and during "Final Countdown" He was overheard in the bathroom saying the show was pretty kick-ass. The Cast...The Live Band... He was surprised that it was such a Fun Comedy...and not just a bunch of 80's tunes. He told the Awesome Bartenders that the Cool Waitstaff bringing people drinks to their seats on the Orchestra level was not at all distracting. Then Santa Claus, who was a bit tipsy, told God about the New York Times review of Rock of Ages, and God was like,"No way!" and Santa was all "Yeah, Dude." When the Easter Bunny started going on and on about Constantine Maroulis being the first American Idol contestant to be nominated for a friggin' TONY AWARD (WIN IT!)...along with ROCK OF AGES being nominated for BEST NEW MUSICAL, BEST DIRECTOR (the Amazing Kristin Hanggi), BEST SOUND, and BEST FOXY THREADS...all were speechless. One of the incredible members of the Brooks Atkinson Theater House Staff broke the silence by saying that they've never seen Audiences have SO MUCH FUN 8 Shows a week! SO YEAH DUMB THREAD STARTER...ROA FANS LOVE ROA...and so does God. He/She said so.

Hey, how do you get banned?

Rippedman. How many times do I have to say this

ROCK OF AGES IS NOT SELLING OUT. ALTHOUGH IT HAS VERY HIGH CAPACITY, IT'S NOT SELLING OUT COMPLETELY. IF 9 TO 5 WERE IN ROA'S THEATRE, IT WOULD BE SOLD OUT EVERY NIGHT. IF ROA WERE IN 9 TO 5'S THEATRE WITH IT'S UN-SOLD OUT AUDIENCE THAT IT HAS EVERY NIGHT, IT WOULD BE 59% FULL BECAUSE ROA HAS PROVEN THAT IT CAN SELL MORE THAN 7621 SEATS IN ONE WEEK.

In case you didn't understand that, I'll put it in simpler terms

Rock of Ages is not meeting its full potential.
If 9 to 5 were in that theatre, it would be meeting its full potential.

And one last time:

Rock of ages isn't even meeting its full potential and 9 to 5 would be if it were in ROA's theatre.

And I'm not saying that shows with lots of people seeing them are high quality shows. I'm actually using it as an example to show you how stupid you ROA's 'dregs of the earth' are. I'm saying that if it's legit to say that reviews tell us weather or not the show will succeed or weather or not the show is good, than I can say the same thing about attendance, in which 9 to 5 has a lot more people who see the show. ATTENDANCE AND REVIEWS DO NOT DETERMINE A SHOW'S QUALITY! DO YOU UNDERSTAND.

And just in case you use the "ROA is in a smaller theatre" argument, I'll spell it out for the idiots.

^ It's because you have to read them. I am sorry, I probably used too much big vocabulary. You ROA fans can't understand words other than 'eat crow'.

"You ROA fans can't understand words other than 'eat crow'."

Please do not lump every Rock of Ages fan under this umbrella.

I've been watching this train wreck of a useless thread since the first post.

It's silly. I do not want 9 to 5 to fail at all. I hope it does well. I did not like the movie at all. So, I would tend to not want to spend an evening at a musical about it. That does not mean I want it to fail.

Rock of Ages is fun for the people who like it. There is nothing wrong with having fun if that is your kind of fun. I did not drink during the times I did see the show. I did not even know the music the first time I went. I laughed my a$$ off, though. It was fun.

Now maybe some of the posters think 9 to 5 is just as fun. Well, alright. I'm glad you have found something fun.

Personally, I will not put down someone for finding something they like.

Enjoy your show whatever one floats your boat.

Now, Blue, while I 100% agree with you, you KNOW that that kind of logic doesn't work here at BWW. I don't know why it doesn't, but that's the way it is.


I wish someone could understand why it seems that the fans of these two shows are up in arms against each other. WE didn't make the Tony nominations. I doubt that those that did visit this site or CARE about what we think.


Just for curiousity's sake: is there anyone that has seen BOTH shows and enjoyed them both? It must be possible.
