#1 Y dd th'original SB close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:11pm Everyone says that it revolutionized musical theatre but if that's so why isn't it still running? Updated On: 11/20/12 at 09:11 PM
#2 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:15pm They had a very poor rush policy. "Long live God!" (GODSPELL)
#3 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:16pm Don't you mean SB? Actually letting people know what you're talking about is so 2003. Beyoncé is not an ally. Actions speak louder than words, Mrs. Carter. #Dubai #$$$
#4 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:16pm I heard the ushers were really rude so the fanboys only saw the show 5 times instead of 17.
#5 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:19pm Having seen the show, I can tell you that it didn't have a show curtain. Definitely reason for a short run in my book. "Long live God!" (GODSPELL)
#6 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:21pm I heard Edna Mae Oliver was a total bitch at the stage door.
#7 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:22pm Basically the score sucked. ....but the world goes 'round
#8 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:27pm The producers got into a big tussle with Jerome Kern over tweet seats, and they just couldn't work it out. Beyoncé is not an ally. Actions speak louder than words, Mrs. Carter. #Dubai #$$$
#9 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:28pm They didn't have color Playbills. "Long live God!" (GODSPELL)
#10 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:31pm And Sutton Foster was all wrong for Queenie. ....but the world goes 'round
#11 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:34pm I thought it would win 27 Tonys, but alas the Tonys wouldn't be invented for another quarter of a century. Like Chicago, it was ahead of its time. Beyoncé is not an ally. Actions speak louder than words, Mrs. Carter. #Dubai #$$$
#12 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:41pm Also, it didn't help that A Chorus Line opened 48 years later. Beyoncé is not an ally. Actions speak louder than words, Mrs. Carter. #Dubai #$$$
#13 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 9:56pm I think that's a false causality. I wouldn't call a falling chandelier revolutionary, but Phantom of the Opera is still running... I like your imperturbable perspicacity.
#14 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 10:06pm Truth be told, their show curtain sucked and their SB coffee mugs and tee shirts looked cheap. Those Blocked: SueStorm. N2N Nate. Good riddence to stupid! Rad-Z, shill begone! Updated On: 11/20/12 at 10:06 PM
#15 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 10:10pm Someone done frew up on me from the balcuny. "The sexual energy between the mother and son really concerns me!"-random woman behind me at Next to Normal "I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello
#16 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/20/12 at 10:25pm Isn't dat where the darkies sit? Those Blocked: SueStorm. N2N Nate. Good riddence to stupid! Rad-Z, shill begone!
#20 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/21/12 at 1:20am This is why I hate abbreviations. As it still says SB on the main board I first thought Sunset Boulevard and then Sugar Babies. "I hope your Fanny is bigger than my Peter." Mary Martin to Ezio Pinza opening night of Fanny.
#21 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/21/12 at 7:36am I thought it was Son of a Bitch, just misspelled.
#22 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/21/12 at 10:23am Is there going to be a soundtrack? With Irma you gotta do something!
#23 Why did the original Show Boat close? Posted: 11/21/12 at 10:24am @morganajames HOW can you f#*k up Show Boat?? I fear musicianship is dead in musical theatre. And acting, for that matter. #horrified It was pretty much downhill after that. "Tracy... Hold Mama's waffles."
