Posted: 6/23/06 at 10:32pmWhat's wrong with "The Last Vegas Spectacular" ?
#5re: 'Phantom - The Last Vegas Spectacular' (sic)
Posted: 6/24/06 at 12:08amIt implies Phantom will cause Vegas to blow up and fall into the desert, a la "10.4." The sequel, of course.

Posted: 6/24/06 at 12:09amYou guys should read the synposis in the official program they are selling at the Majestic. Not only are there mispelled words, but the whole things looks like it was written by a high school student.

"Charlotta". Maybe that's her 95 minute version name.
I once had one of Diana Ross's recent CD releases where she hand wrote her own liner notes. I don't think that anyone proof read them because there were many spelling errors. I felt badly for her since her staff must have either hated her so much that they let them go out as is or they did proof them but they were all dumb as dirt.

lol.
my absolute favorite part of this is that Harold Prince actually skipped out of being at the Tony Awards to accept his lifetime achievement award for this pile of tripe.

Posted: 6/24/06 at 1:25amThey aren't even consistent with their bad spelling. Under Elena it says Charlotta, under Joan Sobel it says Carolotta, and under Danielle they finally got it right.

"my absolute favorite part of this is that Harold Prince actually skipped out of being at the Tony Awards to accept his lifetime achievement award for this pile of tripe."
There is a distinct possibility that, while you're laughing out loud on a message board, Mr. Prince will be laughing his way to the bank. Given recent Vegas history, I wouldn't say it's a sure bet (sorry!) but it wouldn't surprise me if he had the last laugh.

Also, it's obvious that you haven't even seen it yet. How can you call it a pile of tripe?

Is it wrong that the first thing I think of when I read this is that I'd kind of really like to see the character batman as Carlotta and may possibly be more amused by the whole thing?

PLEASE tell me that "Batman" isn't playing "Charlotta" in this show. Does he wear his mask and cowl during "Think of Me?"
If so, I'm planning a road trip today.
Here's hoping this is the LAST Vegas Spectacular... at least imported from the Great White Way. Enough already.

Her last name really is Batman.

It's MISS Batman to you.
...and I feel sorry for her, but I'm still laughing.
Mr. & Mrs. BATMAN? Seriously?
*tries in vain to keep from grinning*
EDIT: I'm sure it's pronounced BOT-mun. Kinda like FRAHNK-en-steen.

Er....not made fun of....but....snickered about quietly. But no one can pronounce my name anyways so I have little pity for crap like that, Killeshandra (legal first name Ironically pronounced EXACTLY how it's spelled if your smart).
But more so, who WOULDN'T laugh about the last name Batman? If it was my last name I'd laugh about it, thats all you really can do actually...that or take it way too seriously like some.
Anyways, rambling.
Has anyone tried to say anything to them, like....I dunno, fire your techie and proof read everything? Or next time hiring ask for High School diploma? Lesser, has anyone even pointed this out yet or are they not in on the joke?

I just feel for her, I guess, because my real last name (no, not Curry!) is very easy to say AND easily made fun of, and has been, and will continue to be. Not that I think the actress in question neccessarily reads this board or this thread.
Come on, if you're gonna make fun of someone, pick something else!

Well, I'll tell you one thing... we sure will remember it, won't we? Ms. Batman plays Carlotta. She gets the "Jennifer Butt" Award for this show... but I hope it doesn't start a trend...
Maybe I should change MY name to Ronald Electrawoman.
Andrew Aquaman?
