last two productions lost money....Lupone had to close early...the last production that made money and the actually the best production since Lansbury was Tyne Daly because of her amazing performance and the name recognition that could fill the theater...PLEASE LET THIS LAY FOR A WHILE NO NEED FOR ANOTHER REVIVAL!!!! MAME -YES !!!

wow ..i love all these people who have no idea saying the reason why....She has said her agent could  not work out the contract for the run of the show...that simple...would she have been good ..of course...she is a pretty woman who certainly could pull off the transformation...I know many people who find Bernadette funny looking and she was damn gorgeous as the witch i think!!..Betty is intense but she was brilliant as Norma..i never laughed as hard when she said NOW GO....also in

I didn't make it to London until the summer of 1994 and saw the show with Betty Buckley and John Barrowman. I thought Barrowman was serviceable but rather young for the part. He seemed too boyish and didn't pull off the mature aspects of the character well. When I saw Campbell in the role in January 1995 in New York, I didn't think there was anything a

Linda Lavin was not very good as Rose...(fyi she played at the at.james not the marquis...Gypsy was at the marquis when they brought it back with Tyne...apparently it was going to London and all set then the desert storm war or some war came and halted all travel so they just did it in the marquis...)...I still think Tyne was much better than Patti. Tyne had warmth and anger..you liked her then you felt she was pathetic....Patti was one not the entire show..loud..

got the book last week...paid the ugggghh price but it was worth it to me...great read ...i cant wait until the other volumes come out...

 

Cynthia Erivo...brilliant when singing...but so dull as an actress ...walked around like she was in a coma until she sang...Fantasia was a much much better Celle...but Erivo did just kill Im still here...not a dry eye in the theater.....

I left at intermission ..bored bored bored...first time ever doing that...the music...oh that stuff we heard between the gorilla puppet was music????

People who loved Smash are usually loving the Megan/Kat duo. I don't think either of them will be involved in this because they have kind of aged out of playing ingénues at this point. I even think Megan is now to old to play Marilyn if they did Bombshell..but on stage because of no closeups it could work...I think people love season one more than season two because two fell into a ridiculous plot of Karen just quiting a staring role in a Broadway Musical to go work with her boyfri

This was Kats first live performance in this kind of setting...she also was singing/dancing at the same time to say she didn't have breath control is crazy...she is the daughter of an opera singer/coach so I think she has been trained her entire life to use her voice correctly. Megan has the benefit of the Broadway community adoring her just for being Megan...she didn't have anything to prove. Kat rose to the challenge and together they kicked ass..to say one was better than the other

This was amazing. I had seen bits and pieces of the bootleg but it wasn't this clear. Can we please put to rest the Team Ivy/Team Karen of who is more talented....they both are LOL...to see them both shine was incredible..Kat came out and killed it with her crystal clear voice and dancing and when you think it cant get better, Megan pulls out everything with They just Keep Moving the Line..(that song I can listen to over and over) ..The final Don't Forget Me duet should be recorded it

Having seen RAGS in Boston with both Teresa Stratus (other wordly) and Christine Andreas who was excellent . I never thought the music was the problem. The Cast album was a great cd...beautiful orchestrations very lush and captured most of the original cast. I personally love the cd. This new cd has to many changes that do not work for me...The changing Blame it on a Summer Night to a duet (and no clarinet????) this was so beautiful and to me is kind of nothing on the new cd.and to change RAG

hav

ing seen Chita in this 4x and i also saw MCAlonzo…i have a hard time picturing Audra McDonald....I also never liked the Vanessa recording it seemed they slowed down the music and it lost its energy when she sang..her voice was great just seemed dull to me...I think Vanessa live was very different because of her youth 

what makes me laugh about Patti is she is always putting down other performers..she is rude and honestly comes across as a mean girl...she is always spouting off about Trump (who I hate) but she is constantly in the same mean , rude type of atmosphere...I agree it is kind of funny at times...and mean people can be very funny , until they are mean to you , then it isn't so funny. She is a talented Broadway star, I have seen her in Les  Miz and Gypsy and neither of them left me in awe.

Christine Baranski  2 Tonys and an emmy

Meryl Streep 3 Emmys 3 academy awards  

Audra Mcdonald 1000 tony awards

Do you really think they care about what this bitter woman has to say. 

I used to love Patti but how high of an opinion of herself does she need...she is a star on Broadway and pretty much the rest of the country doesn't have a clue who she is ....She cannot praise any other performer , it is pathetic and sad...I get more and more disap

King Kong.....only show in 40 years I walked out at intermission...the Puppet was interesting for about 2 minutes ...the ship at the beginning was also for about 2 minutes...lead actress was just bad and the music .and the growling....awful...…….very strange that everybody hates CATS but it ran forever...mmmm I think people are afraid to admit they liked it or some of it....I know I loved seeing Betty Buckley belt out Memory also Lauri Beechman in the first National tour...it wa

saw both and to be honest Renee was much more believable because she iis a teenager ...she owned the stage and her voice is just on another level....Taylor is great but Renee is a teenager and looks like one which adds to it I think. ….oh did I say THAT VOICE live it is mind blowing

Welcome to the land of the bitter bitter no talents...if everyone complaining think they could keep a show running with their vast amount of talent please contact the producers...as much as you hate the fact that someone who actually put him or herself in the position to be considered I give them kudos for it.....the bottom line is keeping the show opened financially...we have to remember the hundreds of people that get to keep jobs due to stunt casting (Chicago for instance) this keeps the s

I totally disagree. Damian does the narrative of the entire show pretty much..to say anyone can 

play this part is crazy...STOP basically stops the show every night because of him and someone average would not pull this off. To say they could take someone with no real talent to replace him is ridiculous...the only part of this show that does not require much is Aaron to be honest. I think Damian is as important as Janice...and you cant stunt cast her or him..the 6 principles all r

Tootsie failed because it wasn't good. A great lead wasted in a bad show, to blame the theater is funny.

The changing of the plot to a theater actor didn't help, what made Dorothy so popular was that millions were able to see her daily on TV...Broadway would never be able to accomplish this. I also listened to the PROM prior to seeing it and loved the music which made me go see the show (great) ..again Mean Girls and enjoyed the music which made me want to see the show (again a
