sad year for the broadway musical — Page 2

" haha I saw grownupgroupie's picture and thought it was Val Jean at first... then I realized it was Will Ferrel playing the cowbell."

You just made me laugh really hard...

"But I'm open-minded.

I have no faith in Little Women..."

Huh? You can't get into a show that you've never seen and have no faith in another. That's your idea of "open-minded"?

Little Women??? THIS is pushing the medium forward? I will withhold my judgement, but...with the exception of Light In The Piazza, is there ANY musical opening this year that doesn't seem to be geared toward boomers and fourteen year olds?

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Old-fashioned musical comedy
Zanna, Don't - gay twenty-somethings
Chitty - Families of under-12 kids

Not really cranky. I misunderstood your first post, but I just replied to that, but the open-mided statement just struck me as funny when following it up with saying that you have no faith in another show. It's like saying, "I'm completely open-minded, but I've already made the decision."

It's funny!! Don't worry about not getting into Piazza before you see it. You don't need to. And it doesn't need Audra, it needs the rest of the show to make you feel it. That's how it is written. The songs are not meant to stand out on their own. They are meant to enhance the emotions of the scene strictly within the text and they do it very well.
