I remember when Sweeney Todd was announced and the subject matter became known, a lot of people thought Prince and Sondheim had lost their minds.

^ Same with Cats. Granted it was really crazy on stage but people loved it.

Prior to its premiere, many believed The Lion King would be a ridiculous notion and a sure-fire flop. It was pretty funny when the first tryout reviews hit.

A Chorus Line. Who wants to listen to a bunch of chorus dancers tell their stories? TheirThey're dancers, not actors.

And even when it hit the stage, some people still didn't like it. Maureen Stapleton was famous for not liking it thinking that it put actors in a bad light having to be up there "begging for a job."

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.

I always thought it was amazing that such a good musical could come out of such a long, dense novel like Les Miserables, especially given the other book-to-musical failures (i.e. Jane Eyre, A Tale of Two Cities, etc.)
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
