Yep. GYPSY is my alltime favorite show and God knows I love me some Bernadette, but they just didn't work together which is a real shame. I travelled to NYC from Florida to see the first preview and was very dissapointed.

I thought Bernadette was FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! crap on your face, matt. and i hope it is chunky. good job, look what you made me do. :) -d.b.j-
Nuggs, I just said I didn't care for her. I thought Tyne Daly was the best Mama Rose I've seen.

I have no complaints about her singing voice, and she was cute, but I had the feeling Kerry Butler didn't know what to do w/ Audrey in "Little Shop...". It's like she was trying to be different from EllenGreen by taking it in another direction, but it's like she didn't knwo what that direction was.
Also, Peter Krause (who is charming but wasn't fitting) in "After the Fall".

But Matt, if you only saw the first preview, then that's hardly fair. You can't judge a production or a performance when it's in previews. Peters grew enormously in that part (throughout the entire run). Remember, they opened on Broadway cold, with no out of town run. I think Bernadette was unorthodox, counter-intuitive, yet brilliant casting.
Sandy Duncan as Anna in the King and I. No. Just no. (tour though)
"It does what a musical's supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue."
Chris Kattan as Xanthias in The Frogs. He was replaced before opening night, thank goodness. Now, I love Chris Kattan as much as the next person, but he just doesn't seem like the Broadway type. A friend of mine, who went to see The Frogs, said there's no way she could imagine Kattan in the role. He's too...smarmy.

"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
