Oh, right, no one reads the Monday papers.
It's still a little strange.

Posted: 8/19/07 at 2:50amIt's not like the reviews are going to matter -- people will flock no matter what the critics say.

Its not unusaul by any means! Years ago it was pretty much the norm. Most wont play a Monday show.
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

Posted: 8/19/07 at 8:46amGood god, get over the tv casting. There are so many things that contribute to the poor quality of this production, and most have to do with Kathleen and the design team - I'll be pissed if its failure is blamed on Max and Laura.

Posted: 8/19/07 at 10:52amHonestly, Max, Laura, Jenny Powers, Robyn Hurder are the standouts of this production.

To add yet another opening of a Broadway musical on my birthday.
Track record's not so good:
Other Musical August 19th openings:
Dracula The Musical opened on August 19th 2004.
Kat and the Kings opened on August 19th 1999.
