_____ ruined one of my favorite shows — Page 4

" once again stand up to defend Betsy Joslyn's portrayal! I think playing Johanna as slightly batty brings life to an otherwise colorless character. Plus, she was pretty hot.

It's scary to think people will never forget it if you give what they felt was a bad performance, even twenty-five years later!"

I never said her performance was bad....I just thought the choice (whether it was hers or Prince Hal) to perform and sing the role in a radically different way was just wrong. I think it threw the show out of balance. I dreaded each time she came onstage. Nothing against Joslyn as an actress. I've seen her in other roles and I enjoyed her. I hate showing the DVD to friends because it usually spoils the spell. She just seems so stereotypical of a shrill soprano.

Antonio Banderas ruined Evita and Nine

George Hearn ruined Wicked. I was so excited to see it, and had been planning for months and weeks, and had seen promo clips and pictures and listened to the show over and over again... and he just plain sucked. Couldn't dance, couldn't sing, and was barely even a good actor, to me. That totally bummed me out. Luckily, I saw Avenue Q the next day, and faith in Broadway was restored.
