laura bell bundy, musical performance of the year

Dear l - I know, I am not your mother but it is Mother's Day so here goes. The etiquette on this board favors a single meaningful thread expressing your adoration for all things Legally Blonde, rather than multiple single line non-substantive posts. You will receive greater respect for your thoughts if you can express them. Thanks! And welcome to the board - you will learn a lot here if you give it a chance.

Laura! Get moving! You're going to be late for your mat!

Welcome to the boards lwoods.

As a newcomer myself; may I offer a couple of suggestions I found helpful? Please don't take any of this personally.

1. The first thing I do before initiating a thread is utilize the 'search' feature. There are other threads on the board where you could have regurgitated this sentiment without starting another thread.

2. I have found that the people on this board are apt to be more respectful of your opinion if you can express your reasoning. Yes it appears to get heated, personal, and at times insulting, but that will happen when folks feel strongly about something.

3. Bear in mind these threads are discussionary in nature, we need to know your rational in order to discuss or relate to your topic. So hey, tell us what you're thinking!

4. Stroll around the boards and through the threads, familiarize yourself with the topics and how they're presented; knowing how to present your topic will give you the maximum discussion potential, assuming it isn't an oft repeated thread, hence the 'search' feature. Also familiarize yourself with the posters as there are a variety of writing styles, temperments, and personalities posting on the boards.

I think you'll get much more from your experience here if you'll try these simple suggestions than if you start a thread such as this one. The bottom line is we are all theatre lovers here and we come together to delight in, agree, disagree, and discuss our theatical experiences with people who share the same love of theatre as ourselves. But you have to give us something to talk about.

Lecture over. Take it for what it is, helpful hints from a relative newcomer to a newcomer.

Back on-topic.

Laura Bell Bundy is a wonderfully talented young woman but as of yet, untapped and undeveloped as an actress. My own opinion is that she will grow into a prime talent on Broadway. Her performance in LB has an exuberance about it and she takes it as far as the material will let her, but certainly it can't be considered the musical performance of the year. This would mean she rose above a seriouly flawed show onto a higher plane. What I saw was someone who admirably gave it her absolute all but was still held back by the material. I have no doubt she will one day be able to make something out of relatively nothing, but this year, with LB, it doesn't happen.
