Do boys hold other boys' newspapers?
Do they take anything off????
Does Sante Fe rhyme with gay, intentionally?
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Why do you think the movie has been so popular all these years? lol.
The musical just makes it even more obvious.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'll get it right now from your endorsement..

The movie is uber-gay, but honestly it's such a bore it's not even worth watching.
....but the world goes 'round

Posted: 3/26/12 at 6:16pmI never understood the love for the movie. Luckily the boys in musical go at it HARDCORE. if you're in the first two rows, you WILL get wet.

Posted: 3/26/12 at 6:21pmJust wait until they get to King of New York. Jeremy Jordan shows everyone why he's king of the rest of the boys.
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!

Posted: 3/26/12 at 6:23pm^I thought Crutchie was the one with the third leg?
#7Homoeroticism in NEWSIES
Posted: 3/26/12 at 6:26pmCrutchie's third leg is too large and might impact the star of the show so they hide him in the background and he covers up during the number like Nick Adams in A CHORUS LINE.

Posted: 3/26/12 at 11:06pmAny show that managed to get Ryan Steele shirtless within 10 minutes (and offered a glimpse as the actor's moved to places) is a;right by me!
#10Homoeroticism in NEWSIES
Posted: 3/27/12 at 3:05amI thought that the movie largely became a hit on video thanks to pre-teen and young teen girls, but I guess it all plays a part...Of course didn't Broadwayworld in one of their news items actually comment on how unattractive Christian Bale was in the movie (which I found kinda ridiculous...)

Posted: 3/27/12 at 5:25amMaybe they could do a special unclothed performance once a month - and call it "Nudies!"

Posted: 3/27/12 at 1:18pmThese newsboys certainly look they use most of their nickels for David Barton membership.

Posted: 3/27/12 at 2:58pmBut seriously folks, when I saw the show at Papermill I was surprised how Tommie Shoemaker, Jeffie Calhoun and 'specially Harvey had managed to remove any homoeroticism in the show. Now, in the audience, that is a whole different story.

Posted: 3/27/12 at 3:11pmAfter seeing this squeaky clean , and ultimately boring show last night, they could use a bit of anything homosexual or heterosexual to spice up the evening !

Posted: 3/27/12 at 3:18pmWell, not to be mean spirited but the biggest laugh of the evening came not from the show but from my theatre companion who turned to me during the first act and asked, " When is Snow White coming out? "

You're thinking of backstage passes. and yes, "backstage" is boy-code.
I would scream like a little fan girl if I had one of those.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali
