Well, they end the show when the kid is pretty young so...sure, maybe she still would chop off his hands in the musucal version if it had a third Act.

Even lizzya9, whose cries for the lack of Ashley Brown-Tony-Nominations we will have to endure, doesn't think it will be good?
Wow.

Messages such as this make me ill....Why would someone bread such negativity and hatred for a piece of theatre? and moreover hope that a musical that employs many actors and crew fail? shame on you....voice opinions not hate....

Lizzya9-
In the novel the show was based on, Grace O'Malley is portrayed as an adept sea captain, a fearless warrior and pirate, and a woman who would go to any lengths to look after her clan and protect her Irish traditions.
I saw the show in Chicago, and even given the changes I've read about on this board, sadly, only parts of that seem to come through in the musical. They seem to have chosen to focus more on the love story/Queen Elizabeth thing. I'm seeing it again in April, and am curious to see the changes.
So, no... not really that accurate. No chopping off hands in this one!

The Overture is part of the show, people. Please shut your pie hole.

Please do not let posts like this just slip by! "Theatrebiz" JUST joined Broadwayworld and his only two posts are about THE PIRATE QUEEN sinking. He obviously wants to damage the show in some way. It's truly pathetic. It's also obvious to me that with his REPLY TO HIMSELF...he probably thought he signed out and logged on to his OTHER account just to agree with himself. He's either an out of work actor OR in a competing show. If your gonna join a Broadway Message Board wouldn't you do it out of the LOVE for theatre? Who creates a screenname just to spread negativity and then AGREES with himself in the very next post. Pathetic Pathetic Pathetic.
And let me just say...I am absolutely fine with people seeing this show and not liking it. Everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion so it certainly has nothing to do with that. It's just obvious that this poster has other motives.

I always love how when people express their opinions on this show sucking others are quick to jump with the personal attacks. Ladies and gents, if you love the show great, and if you didn't oh well the world's not going to end either way. Yes, this show isn't what it's hyped up to be. I've made my opinions known throughout these boards but after being dragged a fourth time!!! I still have the same opinion but I don't jump on people for liking it... I don't hate it anymore.. I just wish they played more to accuracy versus the comedic take of Queen Elizabeth among other blaring things. But, this is the state of theatre right now...you gotta do what gets the butts in the seats. Big, loud, and drawn out storyline..oh wait there's no story.. Play nice and be treated nice I say!

Note:
The real Titanic sank. In the show, they never showed the ship actually sinking. They tried it in previews & it did not work.
We will see it Easter Sunday & will decide than. If it is bad, throw in a few vampires or Count Orlock himself to jazz it up. Vampire Pirates yes

But why would you want to shell out top dollar for a show that everyone seems to agree is never going to be anymore than just "good"?
Did it ever occur to anyone that with all the money being thrown at this show a few of those dollars were thrown at some plants in the audience to get the crowd riled up and on it's feet?

Oh, then they could insert Sail Me Away into the show (which is a song I actually like).

Danhattan, rarely do I engage people personally when they make comments to things I've said. I was saying that as a general statement that everyone is entitled to his or own opinion. If someone starts a thread about not liking a show..suspect as a double post of it maybe it seems people are so quick to create more drama by acting like a bunch of kids wanting to pee in a crowded bathroom.. GEEZ!

I agree with you that everyone is entitled to their opinion. So, please DO NOT GENERALIZE when you say everyone says this is bad (or whatever you comment was to that effect). EVERYONE is a term that takes in the planet. I do not believe that EVERYONE is negative to the PQ. I feel that perhaps, at best, there may be a bit more than a handful who feel as you do.

I have seen the chicago version and the broadway version and have to agree that this show is a dud.
Sure it has some good moments in but so did many of the biggest flop musicals around.
The show just doesn't seem to go anywhere , its a shame because when i heard about this project i was pretty excited.
The cast are all great and i wish them all the best as they give there blood sweat and tears in this.
May they all go on to better projects as well as the crew.
In my opinion it should have not bothered with opening on Broadway it should have closed out of town.
But this is just my opinion and i respect everyones who liked it .

All I have to say is that there IS a third act. Every story has a third act, there just isn't an intermission between the second and third like there is between the first and second.
Carry on.

I "saw" the show on Thursday - the reason for the quotes - Caitie and I left at intermission. Granted, we had scored free tickets, but even had we paide I'm not entirely sure we would have subjected ourselves to a second act. The music was repetitve or tuneless, or just stolen from better shows, the lyrics were trite and often didn't even fit what melody was there, the book was a COMPLETE wreck from start to finish. I was able to outline in 20 minutes a way to make the book work more coherently (at least the first act) and how to make the show itself work.
I will say the performances were good and we did like the costumes, but otherwise there wasn't nearly enough to keep us going.
I'd say easily half the people in the section we were in (all people who got free tickets) got up and left at intermission as well -- the show IS a dud.
Please note: Les Mis is my absolute favorite show - I've seen scores and scores of shows and majored in theater in college - I'm no novice. I have NEVER left a show early, nor wanted to - but I wasn't subjecting myself to this any more.
