"bigbigbill ...
you are probably the only person on this board that thinks all shook up is a great show. its a dumb show made of cardboard boxes, cheap props, and a dumb plot.
evidently you have no taste in musical theater because if you did you wouldnt think all shook up is AMAZING!

thnx.

Quick Question: Does anyone else find it ironic that zeitoujo is calling people stupid when he listed Wicked twice, apparently accidentally...

"Quick Question: Does anyone else find it ironic that zeitoujo is calling people stupid when he listed Wicked twice, apparently accidentally..."
True. Being an ASU fan, I LOVED the show. It was fun, goofy, charming and completely entertained me, and isnt that what good theater is meant to do, entertain. Isn't a well known Broadway tune called "Let Us Entertain You", thats what show are meant to do, be it All Shook Up or Wicked twice.
