Posted: 4/18/14 at 8:17pmThat won't happen. Rocky is a big fat hit and the masses will go wild with it and it is critic proof, according to the preview thread.

Posted: 4/18/14 at 8:20pmI'd go too but I've already come.
"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

Posted: 4/18/14 at 8:28pmI've never been a fan of him in Theatre- I saw him in How To Succeed and Hairspray. he was okay in HTS, but in Hairspray he was verging on awful- just flat in all aspects.

Posted: 4/18/14 at 9:56pmI would go. This would be great and fun stunt casting after Andy.

Posted: 4/18/14 at 10:25pmNick Jonas is doing a television series for Direct TV centered around boxing, which explains any parallels you may be trying to draw.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

Posted: 4/18/14 at 10:40pmAs much as I wish it was, Rocky is not a big fat hit, at least not yet.This is the first week since it opened that it is not on tdf. It is always on tkts also. It is doing great this week as it is spring break and was sold out the past two nights. Hopefully that will continue come summer and with the influx of tourists and with the Tony nominations also. Love Andy and want it to be a huge hit for him!!!

He was so so so so bad in Les Miz. I have to fast forward through his songs on the BD because they are painfully embarrassing.
But I guess if they want a Rocky who looks like he's constipated every time he sings then they couldn't get a better person for the job.

#12Nick Jonas eyeing ROCKY?
Posted: 4/19/14 at 12:03amI loved Nick in How To Succeed. He was easily my favorite of the three Finches. The material of Rocky is far weaker though, and I fear he wouldn't know how to compensate for that the way Andy Karl does. Still, I would go back to see him again in a heartbeat.
Marie: Don't be in such a hurry about that pretty little chippy in Frisco.
Tony: Eh, she's a no chip!

Posted: 4/19/14 at 12:37ambig fat hit? its Operating costs have to be in the 700k at least...and its barely doing that. Its a 18 million dollar musical. At this rate the show will recoup in 2023. gimme a break,

Posted: 4/19/14 at 2:05amI saw them too, but people seem to like reading posts up to a certain point and then they-

Posted: 4/19/14 at 8:13pmDAME, you were inferring that a photo of him with a boxing bag and him attending ROCKY could mean he was possibly considering going into the show. That's a huge (inaccurate) parallel to draw.

Posted: 4/19/14 at 8:19pmAnd by the way.. It is NOT a "huge (inaccurate) parallel to draw". For many , many, many reasons.
