I’ve seen various incarnations of this live and filmed and I think there is a show there. I just think it needs some editing and restructuring.
‘Til I hear you sing at the top of the show is bizzare and personally I loved the mimicking of the original when it’s the Giry’s looking back.
I think the show suffers from whether it wants to be a spectacle or intimate and hasn’t found the balance the original found.
The story is the Giry’s and that just wasn’t developed en

Are you talking about criminalizing speech because of how other people react to it? That's an absolutely horrifying idea. People should be able to sayanythingthey want - other than direct, specific threats

I was wondering how long it would take for you to resort to a personal insult. 3rd reply. Not bad."
What’s personal? I don’t know where you live. You could be In Timbuktu for all I know or care.
newintown said: ""Sorry but a person with BPD for example can not control impulses and will sit and eat until they vomit. The same goes for some people on the Autism spectrum, not all disabilities are visible and no one knows what conditions people live with."
Yes, you've restated your point well, however, it still doesn't address the (also restated) fact that medical science still says that the overwhelming majority of overweight Americans can c
newintown said: ""...being overweight isn’t a lifestyle choice for 99% of people. It can be medication, mental health, it can be socio-economic, to deny that just shows ignorance and lack of empathy."
Yes, itcanbe, and occasionallyis, but every medical source you can find clearly states that "weight gain is largely a result of eating behavior and lifestyle," or "people gain weight when they eat more calories than th

Dave any enlightened person can see that suicide is not a solo act. A person doesn’t commit suicide they are a victim of suicide. Too many bullies and trolls online should be in prison.
The sooner the better people are held accountable for their words or actions then a better place the world will be.
Overweight people are probably the last group of people who are allowed be humiliated or tortured because the majority of people are too ignorant, uneducated to understand that b

Humor isnt mocking people for their skin colour, their gender, their sexuality, or their size.
Remember words can hurt. Broadway recently had a high profile suicide because someone was singled out and humiliated.
The predjudice overweight people face on a daily basis is shocking. The backlash to Primark making plus size clothes in the news recently was disgusting. The comments that overweight people basically don’t deserve nice clothes. The “It encourages people to be fat” is the same argument used against LGBTQ+ progress, pathetic.
People are overweight for a variety of reasons but overeating just like under eating is a disorder. But there is no empathy for

I started a thread in the West End Forum but it’s quiet over there.
As this stars American drag queen Vicky Vox some posters here might be interested.
It’s a story of period of time and people of that time.
If we erase these stories we not only aleraces racism homophobia etc etc we erase people.
Look at POSE FX which I love but it’s looking at the 1980s through a modern gender identity politics lens. And in doing so has completely erased drag queens from the ball culture of the 80s.

Is that not the point, the juxtaposition of the highly stylised choreography with the grit of the story? A distancing effect to force a critical eye on gang culture.

Based on that number (which one would imagine is one of the best in the show), and what I've read, it seems like a flawed musical about an important subject. However, if they can "Americanize" the show, it might be able to fill in the space left byKinky Bootswhen that show eventually closes and be able to draw in audience members
