Word on the street is the common folks love Young Frankenstein

spoke to a 2 people in the know today that work at a big hotel concierge desk, they say people whom they got tickets for YF to the last 2 nights came back thrilled they had seen the show and they were just theater fans not Mel fans, as they were looking to see shows based upon see something new at a reasonable price, so take if for what tis worth peole who are paying $100 per ticket are happy with the show and were at the conceirge desk looking to go to anither show and were telling the toher couples what a great show they saw last night ... so it looks like the show might have some legs with the theater public ...they loved the sets and thought the show was very fun

Take a breath next time you type. Or think.

That run-on sentence wore me out...

A lot of requests doesn't mean it's necessarily a good show...it just means that the show is a tourist attraction.

I wasn't implying that the show was good or bad. Just saying he has been getting a lot of requests.

The guy is probably right... tourists are going to eat it up no matter what. I thought the show was ok, not great. Had I paid $100 to see it, I would have been disappointed. Too many jokes are stale and the show is just too long. Cast is great though.

I think most people will convince themselves that it was great because of how much money they spent. Kinda the same way crowds these days seem to give every show a standing ovation partially to convince themselves that they spent their money well. I'm still caught off-guard when people start standing for a mediocre show because they think it's the thing to do.

Then, like a tool, I eventually stand up too so I don't look like I'm sitting in protest.

I just watched Legally Blonde on MTV today. I enjoyed it. I haven't seen it live yet, but would like to.

This is fairly shocking, as I didn't know commoners were allowed inside the theatre any more.

Wow, I never knew I was common!! And here I thought all this time I was unique!!

I've been an outcast. I was at one time down-trodden. Then I was part of the little people. Now I'm common. I aspire to one day be unique. Ahhh well, live and dream.

"Legally Blond also proves this point. The brain dead tween crowd loves it"

Talk about a sweeping generalization, im 28 and love the show,Ive also worked as a dancer and singer in many west end shows and love the theatre and i can assure you im not brain dead.

misschung-yes, but hopefully we (the BWW posters) aren't the people who will be going to see YF 3 or 4 times... I'd like to think we see as many shows as we can and represent those with varied tastes, and open minds...not just people who go see something because they saw the movie and know all the jokes.
