I'll gladly add my kudos here. MC's personal reviews are always intelligently written and thought provoking. They rarely (if ever) tell you if you should or should not see a play or if the program is or is not good or bad. What they do is provide you with insight as to how a production is staged and performed and they allow you the 'elbow room' to decide for yourself if this is something you want to get into or not. MC will let you know if, in his view, a scene or performance works or not - but then he'll remind you that a lot of it is subject to personal interpretation.

I am definitely NOT a wealthy person and when I come to NY for a theatre visit I count on Margo's reviews to determine what I want to see and what I'd just as soon avoid. I've never been disappointed.

i agree & i often use the search function to see what Margo had to say about shows that were before my time, just so i can catch up on the collective knowledge & experience.

thank you, Margo.

just wanted to add my appreciation for Margo
whenever people dont know something, or need an explanation about something, Margo is always there to give a very detailed and informative post which enlightens everyone :)

thanks, Margo!

I look forward to Margo's comments on a show the way I look forward to Michael Feingold's reviews and the way I used to look forward to Frank Rich's.

I always appreciate the historical comments. MC always fills in details from past shows that I had once known but forgotten.

"I always appreciate the historical comments."

I know when there's an argument about some theater history Margo always comes in and sets the record straight. MC's reviews are always well written and sound very professional.

I remember years ago, the first time Margo responded to one of my posts, and agreed with me. I felt like I had finally arrived!

I'd do anything
For you, dear, anything.
For you mean everything to me!

Thanks, Margo!

There are very few posters on BWW that would be missed more than Margo if she ever decided to leave. She is one of the best things about this site.

And how is showing your admiration for an anonymous person on a message board brown nosing? There is nothing to be gained.

I want to thank Margo Channing for being a fabulous person and outstanding source of information on Broadway Theater. Whether it is the posting of reviews of the shows, or the responses to information about shows, actors, songs, casting, past history, or anything Broadway related Margo Channing is there. I enjoy reading Margo's reviews and anything Margo has to say. There are lots of us out there who have come to respect your comments and vast information about Broadway.
Happy and healthy holidays to you

A toast to Margo Channing! I am relatively new to this board but Margo is the best. Great information, beautifully written (proper spelling, punctuation and vocabulary), and maturity. Some people posting on the site need more of the last characteristic!

I was lucky to have fairly cultured parents who supported me gaining knowledge of the arts. They introduced me to old musical theatre recordings and movies, as well as a weekly hour-long radio program called Say It With Music, hosted by Richard Ouzinian, theatre reviewer for the Toronto Star. Through this radio show I was exposed to more obscure cast recordings and facts about musicals, and it is very much a reason I am still in theatre to this day.

I feel like Margo is probably the equivalent of what Richard Ouzinian was to me, to a lot of young people on this board (hell...older people too). He is filled with a vast knowledge, but more importantly a passion for theatre that is contagious. He shares his knowledge without hesitating and without ego.

So cheers to Margo!

sally, I can relate! Whenever I might start a thread or post something, if Margo posts in my thread or responds to my post, I feel all good inside
it is rather odd...
but Margo- you're awesome :)

I heard MargoChanning is Patti LuPone.

That's just what I heard, is all.
