Woman in White Reviews... — Page 5

Thanks for your review Greg. Always great to hear new opinions of the show. I would love to see Ruthie Hen"something" in the role of Marian. The show is certainly not for everyone, but then again niether are Harry Potter movies. lol

LOL...Ruthie Henshaw...she was fantastic!

Vinnie-You're not gaining any respect from these posters with your comments. So why are you still at it?

ohhhh vinnie, you stun me once again...

there were TWO press nights...tuesday and wednesday, i kid you not. I'd love to know where you get your information.

Oh and don't worry, this show has all the good reviews it needs...it doesn't need your negativity as well...

Vinnie, leave us alone.

The show's review score was 3.4 out of 5.0. To me, that is pretty good. Can do better, but good nonetheless.

Here's my proof:

You see, we have proof. You don't.

i would hardly say the show got slammed, maybe by your precious ben brantley...but actually local new york newspapers enjoyed it.

And thanks, i will market away, actually this show is VERY easy to market.

but please, stay away from the marquis theatre, i would want the roof to come crashing down on top of you

Friedman and Greg~

It's actually "Henshall".

Wicked...The Post gave it 3 1/2 stars.

Clive Barnes really liked it.

From what I've seen Brantley's review seems to be in the minority. The rest of the reviews are mixed to good and the Post and the Daily News (Kissel)loved it.

Uhh...I have the review from online, it didnt say how many stars it gave the show and it usually does? What the hell is your problem?

It almost seems that Vinnie has a personal problem with this show... it looks far from being in any kind of trouble to me.

Ulla baby, you said the show would get good reviews. It didn't. Now "it will last for years." It won't. You have no idea what's going on. Their wrap for today as of 4 pm, the day after opeing night, was terrible. The show is an afterthought in this season.

ohhh vinnie, talking out of your ass again huh?

i NEVER said it would get good reviews...i said to give it a chance, something you've obviously never done...

still haven't answered us as to where you get your information

Did anyone read the Wall Street Journal Review???

Happy to report its a total RAVE!
Some qoutes-
"Ms. Friedman, who underwent breast-cancer surgery two weeks ago, returned to the show last Thursday in a front-page display of true grit. No less newsworthy, though, is Mr. Lloyd Webber’s own return to form. Not only is “The Woman in White” a solid three-base hit, but for much of its length it proves to be a highly impressive piece of musical theater as well."

"Not being a fan of Mr. Lloyd Webber’s high-priced brand of kitsch, I confess to having been taken aback by the first act of “The Woman of White,” whose witty domestic tone suggests a cross between “Pride and Prejudice” and “Dracula.” Far more than merely fluent, it is at once beautifully paced and unabashedly operatic in scale"

"“The Woman in White” is still an exceedingly well-made entertainment that will send you home sated…."

Very exciting news for all of us Woman in White fans! Vinnie, are you shocked? You repeatedly told us this show was going to get the worst reviews. Well raves from the New York Post, The Daily News AND The Wall Street Journal prove you so so wrong. I also saw the show tonight! Spoke with many cast members afterwards at the stage door. I specifically asked about Previews/changes/and rehearsals. There was NO REHEARSAL on Wednesday afterall. The press WAS there on Tuesday and Wednesday night and since Maria isn't doing double days until she is recovered they generously gave the entire cast a day of rest. Vinnie, you are getting your information from a terrible source! Also if you actually DID like the show like you mentioned THEN why are you only taking delight in the bad reviews. Wouldn't you have posted the Wall Street Journal's rave as well? Hmmm think we have what would be considered the opposite of a shiller. Do you guys have a name for that yet? I'm sorry Vinnie but I am so glad you are wrong about all of this!

*Thanks to all for the spelling of Ruthie Henshall. I didn't know if it was Henshall or Henshaw so I thought Hen"something" would suffice. I'm still a Friedman Fan but I have to admit Ruthie Henshall is pretty amazing too. I'll write more about the show tonight later!
