Love the theatre and have worked as a singer and dancer for years inc shows like a chorus line,fame,,Tick Tick Boom,Evita etc I now own and run a successful production company in Manchester called Vertigo and have had several hits including Dog Sees God (UK premiere), 3sum (original play) the Breakfast Club, 'M', 'Rage and our award nominated original play 'OUT!'

Desperately Seeking Susan Musical Disaster May 6

Well I'm just gonna jump in and say that I produced the Manchester, UK performances of 'Desperately Seeking the Exit' and for any fans of theatre or just great storytelling and comedy this is a must see. This play is a genuine treat.
I also liked Desperately Seeking Susan the Musical apart from the direction, choreography and a cast member, oh and the set
Ok - On Your Feet (lots of fun but could have gone deeper)
Worst - Good Vibrations (at the moment my company is trying to secure rights to Beach Boys Music as I think it's a crying shame that this mess of a show was built around such great music. We have a script ready to go, the show written, now it's just trying to secure the music)
Speed said: "Oak is a human being and aprofessional actor himself. Deserves better than "narcissistic nobody." Andy Karl may be a Broadway veteranbut he was entrusted with TWO huge Broadway musicals (Rocky and Groundhog Day) and completely failed to turn either into a hit. Pierre isn't really a lead role like what Andy had in Rocky and GD. Shouldn't Andy be held to a higher standard? Maybe Andy is the "big old nobody" that should never be hired again. Also

Please leave the petty sniping out of threads dedicated to factual discussion. Thank you.

Petty sniping? I simply said factually you are wrong. That is not what the shows running costs are at all, I know this for a fact. You often seem to just pull numbers out of thin air.
Groundhog Day reminds me of American Psycho, a great show that somehow did not translate to American audiences. I hope both shows have their deserved success back in the UK and around the rest of the world.
It baffles my mind all this alarmist posting about Groundhog Day, the show is pulling in decent numbers, maybe not wow numbers but for sure not in the danger zone.
