Mel B (Scary Spice) wasn't the worst thing to hit the Nederlander though. She was only somewhat below an average Mimi and I will say that her "Without You" is in my top five favorite performances (of that song).

Melanie Griffith anyone?

Julia Rober--

Well I didn't see her in that because it was sold out every night.

Idina Menz--

Well...if I said that then I'd wake up with a green-painted cabbage patch doll dipped in cow blood under my pillow.

Harry Connick Jr. Yeah. That one.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

re: people who shouldn't....

to be fair....Joey Fatone was actually really good, and He NEVER called out of the show, he showed up rain or shine, which is kind of cool for a celebrity...
#12

re: people who shouldn't....

I think it was on the RENT podcast that Joey had said that he really wanted to be a part of the show. When he went in for an audition, he told them that if they didn't think he was good enough, to not put him in the show.

re: people who shouldn't....

um Scary Spice was good enough?

re: people who shouldn't....

I do agree that there aren't too many parts Harry Connick Jr. could do successfully, but Sid in the Pajama Game was almost written for him (of course most of the songs keys were lowered for him and this musical became a Jazz Fest, but it was still enjoyable).

re: people who shouldn't....

Quite so. Next thread: People who shouldn't post on BWW. I could nominate about 3 people I've seen on here thus far

re: people who shouldn't....

Agreed, Company.

Nellie McKay is very talented.
Joey Fatone was fantastic in the role.
Mel B was an abomination in the role.
Christine Applegate was wonderful.
Christy Carlson Romano is an abortion.

re: people who shouldn't....

If anyone actually saw Nellie who bashed her, I'm sure they might have an understanding of their mistake of saying what she can't do.

I also think that Christina Applegate proved a lot of us wrong and showed how well she could handle doing a Broadway show and brought a lot of warmth to the role and was more than capable with the choreography given to her.

D*mn- CapnHook- you beat me to it!

Someone had to say Idina sooner or later...

re: people who shouldn't....

HCJ, is great. . . .when singing jazz and being Sid. re: people who shouldn't...., other than that maybe not.
Poor, Poor, Idina.
I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.

"Christy Carlson Romano is an abortion."


I really needed that munk. Thank you.


oh and I must say Mel B was the worst thing i have ever seen ON BROADWAY, vocally. she was terrible. simply unforgivable. But she was suprisingly good acting wise.

That being said, Joey Fatone in Rent also wasn't terrible, I've seen regular broadway performers in that show that were substantially worse than him. Did he really fit the part he was playing? NO. But that's when we blame the people who cast him.

honestly, for me, its Manley Pope. Simply awful.

And i'd say Melanie Griffith, but i didn't go see Chicago when she was in it (for the specific reason that she was in it).

oh i almost forgot (as much as i love her in movies) Jena Malone really missed the mark in Doubt.
when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.
