Well, you seem to be quite disrespectful of the "tradition" of putting periods at the end of a sentence.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
This thread has to be the most embarrassing piece of **** ever catalogued on this site. It really has reached a new low. And that is saying a lot since most of the posts on this board are moronic statements by bitter never-was actors, twenty-something wanna-bees with no interest in the history of theater, and tween fan gurls obsessed with Kristen and Wicked. Now we have this thread. Let's add to that flock the racists and that about sums up the face of Broadway World posters.

And this show is a highly fictionalized, theatrical fable that is "suggested by" her memoir ("suggested by" is in the official billing of the show, so the authors made that choice over "based on"). It's as much a fact based biography of her life as the original production of Side Show was of the Hilton twins (which took huge liberties with the timeline of their lives, and switched which twin was on which side).
So are you saying that a production of Annie featuring a black FDR would be fine, since it's not an historically accurate work?
The arc of Act II is still the rising success of the real-life Gypsy Rose Lee, however fictionalized. I don't see how you ignore that without hurting the piece.
