@Bill, this is jukebox, so 9/10 they'll call this a "tourist show" because only tourists are dumb enough to pay big money for a jukebox. (BWW Boards 101)
Funny, you would think regular theatergoers would be more open...instead they're some of the most cynical, stuck-up and and judgmental 'fans' around. Sad.

They just want to be entertained and have a good time, not to be transformed by a piece of theatre (which this show obviously doesn't do)."
I'm a native New Yorker and love this show. Am I less of an intellect that you?

Seems to be a hot ticket I'd just get mine now. (Side note: I never did rush tickets...are they cancelled tickets that can be located anywhere, or are they usually in "bad" seats?)

All we need now is for someone to complain about the ice at the bar and this show will have been officially scrutinized to death.

Maybe, but if the quality of the rest of the album is like theSparkling Diamondstrack they released maybe they should have taken the extra time. It sounds muddled and the lyrics are barely understandable."
We're gonna have to chip in and get you some new headphones.

Which is implying you only know what good theatre is and thats elitist and stuck up. No one cares you hated the show and no one cares that I like thisshow, but no need to demean others opinions on shows."
The sad thing, Mike, is that you're speaking to half the posters on he
