The prayer circle was greatly needed in these awful times too.

Whether it be influencing freedom fighters to use violence and impose their wonderful conservative ideologies, stop the nasty cursed LGBT community from spreading their toxic beliefs, or infiltrating the political system - let’s all thank good for these wonderful, wonderful beliefs. Thoughts and prayers everyone. Thoughts and prayers.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

This kind of religious extremism would be condemned if it was to happen in Iran.

It shows that many people today are still confused, lost slaves to religion. There are 4200 religions on this tiny, confused planet. Mostly the religion one's parents cling onto is the one that their kids cling onto too, and they mistakenly are going to think that that is their identity. That's where the danger starts. Take it away, and people panic and don't know who they are anymore. For example, when a Cristian or Muslim child happens to have a gay sexuality as part of their natural identity, it does not fit in their parents learned identity and the child grows up thinking his sexuality is wrong, where the real wrong lies in religion. Basically, the parents panic when they encounter real life. Their identity was based on preconceptions/religion.
The solution lies in a more worldly upbringing. If you insist on pushing religion onto your child, let your kid learn about all 4200 religions from all sides and then see what happens. Another solution could be making these pray away groups prosecutable as it's a form of discrimination. The third solution is to learn in schools (if the parents forsake it) that identity should be formed by life experience, never by religion.
When I see all these confused religion fanatics running around on this tiny earth, arguing about their thousands of different religions, most of them made up long before Christ or Allah were made up, I sometimes like to watch this video to balance my thoughts.

Until I read the story on BroadwayWorld I didn't realize this was about the Reduced Shakespeare Company. We've seen these guys numerous times. They're big on audience participation, and our then-teenage.daughter was pulled up on stage to play Ophelia, which required her to stand in one spot and scream on cue. After the show they signed autographs and the main guy signed our daughter's program "to my future wife." They're adorable, sometimes mildly bawdy, but honestly you have to be nuts to be offended by anything in their shows.

I don't believe they were performing, it was just one if their plays.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

You're right, of course. RSC must license a student version of their "abridged Shakespeare" show. I still can't believe that anyone could be offended by it. Imagine what those folks would think of another one of RSC's shows: "The Bible: The Complete Word of God (abridged)"

Well, NOW I'm PISSED!
When *I* played Ophelia (technically, it's "Ophelia's id"
, I had to run up and down the center aisle while waving my arms above my head and screaming. And never mind the fact I was a middle-aged man.
The RSC boys have obviously lost their edge.
But I agree: prayer circle? Talk about some people who need to ask WWJD!
