DOTV was great because Max von Essen has a great voice.
"I'm learning to dig deep down inside and find the truth within myself and put that out. I think what we identify with in popular music more than anything else is when someone just shares a truth that we can relate to. That's what I'm searching for in my music." - Ron Bohmer
"I broke the boundaries. It wasn't cool to be in plays- especially if you were in sports & I was in both." - Ashton Kutcher

Ok I'll stop ranting...it had to be said though. Admit it..
I don't really hate an muscials, I don't LOve some but I don't hate them either..
Not a fan of Blast. At all. My hopes were up after watching Bway on Bway 2001, but when I finally saw it, I wanted to leave at intermission (but didn't, since I had press tickets). Am I the only one who doesn't see why Blast got so much raves??

"This is my breakfast, lunch and f***ing dinner right here. I'm not even f***in' joking." - Colin Farrell
Tiff, I saw Blast and it gave me a giant headache. Thank you for reminding me of that one. It has been a few years and have blocked it (my poor eardrums)
Seussical the Musical!!!!!!!!! EWWWWWWWWW Urinetown and Beauty and the Beast are amazing (although, Beauty and the Beast on Broadway doesn't have as good a cast as it should. I saw it at the Kennedy Center, years ago, and with really good dancers, it's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
What about that awful thing on Times Square called Perfect Murder? How did I ever get sucked into seeing THAT thing several years ago?? And, it's still running!

Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

"What can you expect from a bunch of seitan worshippers?" - Reginald Tresilian
Had they cut the humor and made it into a serious gothic musical, it would have worked much better. Most of the songs (except for the comedic ones) were actually very well written. Michael Crawford was boring in a supposedly sexy role. Mandy Gonzales was awesome. Mark Price was playing Riff Raff all over again. Sets, choreography, and lighting were terrific. But, once again, the humor didn't work... at all.
Passion and Falsettos, I just didn't enjoy as they were going on (uninteresting story, forgettable score, whatever). Mamma Mia was just so DUMB...hit me more at the end, after all the ludicrous "plot points" had piled up. Plus I don't like the forced standing ovation. Has there been another show that introduced a song during the curtain call, as they do with Dancing Queen? So if you stand up to sing/dance along, you're giving a totally undeserving show a de facto standing ovation!
