And they say the Grease choreography is simple? That TM was simply a bore.
Any clips on the site with the name we dare not to speak?
I can't find any.
It's such a busily designed website, yes, it's really hard to navigate. And the video player won't work for me.
The Transylvania Mania number was horrible. That was elementary level choreography. I expected much more out of Susan Stroman.
Woah. Sutton, pick an accent and stay with it!
I got to watch this at work on wednseday and I was not impressed. The songs barely kept my interest, sutton looked bored and I did laugh once. At least I didn't pay $450 a seat.
The performers are wonderful...the songs are mediocre at best...I hope Mel stops with this one, as I don't think I could handle "Blazing Saddles: The Musical."
My goodness, I thought these songs were wonderful. Chris F. is a WONDERFUL comedic performer. He is SURE to win a tony award! These songs are catchy and tuneful, IMO. I wish them a long and fruitful run.

"At least I didn't pay $450 a seat."
Umm, that's the premium price. The regular price is 120.
I actually am looking forward to seeing Young Frankenstein. I thought the songs were great and I loved how with Together Again and Roll in The Hay, they kept those classic jokes "What Hump?" and "Werewolves...There wolves, there castle." I especially liked the addition of the wolfman in the number.
Did anyone else notice at the end of Translyvania Mania when Roger was getting back up? He was holding his back as he was standing back up...Maybe he's still a bit sore.
I found this video that shows some new clips of the show and makes me very excited to see it!

(The video is at the top and should start immediately.)
So, I just saw one of the few hyped songs from the show..."Roll in ze Hay."
That was it? Was it supposed to be funny?
I thought Sutton had more taste and pride in her work.
Can't wait to see the critics chew this to bits.
The videos still own't work for me. Is anyone else having this problem?
Someone's posted the clips on youtube, yay.
The show looks boring, although well cast. I don't like Mel Brooks' music, but the cast does a good job with the material. Sutton's amazing. Chris F. is brilliant.

Ok so I just watched the clips on the "site not to be named" and besides Sutton Foster's amazing voice, the clips did nothing to me. And i know you cant judge a show off those clips so I wont, but I can judge the songs themselves and I just felt they were pretty boring and banal. The lyrics seemed juvenile and forced. Just my two cents.
