Samantha Barks Attendance?  Aug 3 2018, 03:24:04 PM

Have you asked your Magic 8 Ball?



Head over Heels Cast Recording?  Aug 3 2018, 03:21:03 PM

Cast recordings are very expensive, and seeing as they're practically asking strangers on the street for investments to keep it running, it may be that they simply have no funds for it.

Two reasons: Hedwig and Jersey Boys.



PRETTY WOMAN Broadway Previews  Aug 2 2018, 11:09:47 AM

I found Barks' performance to be very like that of Vanessa Hudgens in Gigi - artificial, faux-spunky, Orphan Annie-ish, and with less sexuality than Pippi Longstocking. But she does have a strong, loud voice.



PRETTY WOMAN Broadway Previews  Aug 2 2018, 09:36:30 AM

I found this show to be depressingly idiotic, amateurish, and inane, and can't think of a single good thing to say about it.

To those curious about the Jeff Whitty story, he has a very interesting story/statement on his Facebook page.

Maybe "What Could Be Better Than That" from Baby?

STRAIGHT WHITE MEN Previews  Jul 26 2018, 10:20:52 AM

"Any idea on whether this could be extended?"

The website rather explicitly states "THROUGH SEPTEMBER 9 ONLY!" And Torch Song starts performance October 9. It seems unlikely that it could extend.

 



THIS AIN'T NO DISCO thread  Jul 26 2018, 07:46:12 AM

"It baffles me that the show could go through at least two workshops that I know of, and no one pointed out the problems? Or, even worse, the creators chose not to address the problem? Rick Elice couldn't have come up with a better book?"

This is far from unusual; the audiences at most workshops today consist primarily, it seems, of a blend of sycophants and hangers-on with no better insight than the creative team. And those who might know better perhaps withhold

That people are still adding posts to a locked thread?



NY Times Journalist's  Jul 25 2018, 09:33:06 AM

"<<edited by BWW staff>> your constitution and <<edited by BWW staff>>  free speech."

Well, that's a conversation ender right there, isn't it? Can't go much further than that...

"Yes your judgement is <<edited by BWW staff>> build a bridge and get over it."

More personal insults. Lovely.



NY Times Journalist's  Jul 25 2018, 09:27:34 AM

"What’s personal? I don’t know where you live. You could be In Timbuktu for all I know or care."

Of course I meant the use of "misguided" as the personal insult. But I imagine you knew that.



NY Times Journalist's  Jul 25 2018, 09:25:39 AM

I agree, kdogg, and even though some might like to twist the First Amendment to mean what they want it to mean, there are a few hundred years of legal precedent demonstrating that only things like explicit incitement to violence, libel/slander, plagiarism, perjury, blackmail, and child pornography aren't protected by it.



NY Times Journalist's  Jul 25 2018, 09:08:01 AM

"And frankly if you don’t think that America’s obesity problem is because of the sh1thole it is and the impact that has on peoples mental health then you’re misguided."

I was wondering how long it would take for you to resort to a personal insult. 3rd reply. Not bad.



NY Times Journalist's  Jul 25 2018, 08:58:00 AM

"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 correct their dietary and&n


NY Times Journalist's  Jul 25 2018, 08:27:48 AM

"...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, it can be, and occasionally is, 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 they burn

I understand your intention, and, I suppose, your belief that you're morally significantly more evolved than those to whom you write, but.... do you really think that's helpful or effective or attractive?



Joe Dziemianowicz Parts Ways With NY Daily News  Jul 24 2018, 02:22:53 PM

"They had 1 person working in the theatre department on Friday. Today they have 0. And Broadway generates more income for New York City than all of the sports franchises combined."

Fret not - Broadway shows would still sell as many tickets as they do now, even if every reviewer in the country vanished.

"All the women you listed are in their 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s."

I know! I feel like I fit in with the usual BWW casting suggestions finally!
