about BKLYN's saturday eve show. — Page 2

Emo Geek - You irritate me beyond belief. No one travels from far and wide to see BROOKLYN. Have you ever even seen a show other than BROOKLYN?

Silent: Well atleast they offered them tickets to a future performance - that I would have refused, by the way. Nothing could get me to sit through that again - not even if someone paid me to go.

Well, I DO call it cheap.
I don't care if they are "new" to Broadway.
This show, unfortuantely, is part of the broadway community and has an obligation to represent Broadway in a professional manner.

Cancelling a show because of a lack of understudies shows a lazy, sloppy attitude on the part of the producers.
It is only acceptable if the show is a solo show a la Whoopi or Jefferson Mays.

but to not hire enough people to get the job done just so you can keep a sinking show above water shows a disrespect to other Broadway professionals and to Broadway audiences.

Yes - and it just shows that the people behind BROOKLYN (sometimes I wonder if a human being is capable of spawning such abominable crap) really have absolutely no idea what they're doing.

---

well they made it to broadway...and they have touched heart and souls...so apparently they are doing somthing right.

Emo Geek - Learn how to spell and put together coherent sentences. Until you can communicate your thoughts and ideas an a comprehensible manner, no one is going to take anything you say very seriously. Rose above themselves? You've gotta be nuts. Hours on end? It was a reported 4 hours (not like that matters,) and didn't she do the show in Denver anyway (where it should have closed?) They found someone to replace an understudy. BIG DEAL. It happens every day on Broadway, and those shows don't get commended for having a smooth system or reputable understudies...you think BROOKLYN is so fantastic for finding this random girl to do the show - it's unprofessional, and I would have refused to help them. Go to the park or something.

"well they made it to broadway"

Is that your whole argument on the professionalism of the producers? That they made it to Broadway?

Well, I guess by using your logic, that making it to Broadway is what equates professionalism. So any show that doesn't make it to Broadway means they had unprofessioanl producers? I don't get your logic in that.

i dont know what good it does to argue whether or not the producers should have had more understudies, they didnt, cant do anything about the past. maybe now theyll hire more. sometimes you end up learning from mistakes in life.

now for how they handled the situation, i think id find a script in an actors hand both interesting and distracting. it does take quite a lot of courage to do a show cold like that.

"Well if they were so cheap then they would have cancelled the evening show as well."

Ok, this has nothing to do with whether or not I like BROOKLYN but I have to say this. How is CANCELLING a show being CHEAP? They did this and sent another person on stage with script in hand because they couldn't handle losing the revenue of another cancelled show. The above statement just does not make sense.

I can send it to you!

---

I made it.

Munk is so creative.

To tell the truth, when I first saw it this morning, I thought that you had been converted and almost had a heart attack.

It's been up for a while, and I still think it's Tiny-Toon. Should we be expecting a Good Vibrations send-up any day now?
