OK, is it just me or is this a little freaky? The name got me at first, and then the picture was just too much.
I'm a big fan of Sherie... but what in the world?

Posted: 1/31/08 at 8:50pmI think it is brilliant. Very SRS diva!
(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

Posted: 1/31/08 at 8:54pmThat is flat out sacrilegious. I guess I don't really know the context it's coming from, but I'm a little offended.

Lol, people are offended by it?
I think it's simply brilliant and very Sherie-esque. And I guess if it's offending people, then it is getting the buzz it wanted.
I absolutely adore the poster and the title even more. Especially since Sherie is one of the most humble, eccentric, fun, and INCREDIBLY talented actresses working on Broadway at the time.

If Sherie is so fabulous, why does she need to offend people to get attention?
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Posted: 1/31/08 at 9:42pmI thought it was brilliant, until I saw the picture and... felt a little twinge... But I understand what they';re trying to do... and it's funny.. I just.. it makes me a little uncomfortable.
that's a really big mic...

Posted: 1/31/08 at 9:44pmWhen I first saw this, I thought it was fab...looking at the overall picture. But when I actually looked closer and saw the red marks on the hand, I wasn't thrilled about it anymore. Just my opinion.. RC in Austin, Texas

I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Boo woo!
If you're offended by stupid stuff like this, stay home and watch Veggie Tales.
Y'all aren't offended by murder, cannibalism, rape, bestiality, witchcraft, etc, etc, etc, that you've seen on TV, stage, film, read in books, but you're offended by a poster?
Right. That makes a lot of sense.

I'm with Nitsua on this.
And I'm sure she didn't draw the poster, but it is getting your attention isn't it?
I can't believe people are actually offended by it, I find the whole thing somewhat amusing actually.

Posted: 1/31/08 at 9:55pmIt's hilarious that people are offended by this, of all things.

Singtopher is exactly right, sure it's getting our attention, but for all the wrong reasons. I think the woman is very talnted, and I really doubt that she designed the poster, but still...
And if I saw "murder, cannibalism, rape" etc. on a poster, I probably *would* be offended.

I'm talking about shows. You'll pay to see Sweeney Todd, A Streetcar Named Desire, Equus, Spring Awakening, RENT and it won't bother you, but looking at a poster is offensive?
That doesn't make sense to me.

the stories in a show are different. They are telling a story to an audience to just tell a story or put forth a message or lesson, or whatever... this poster makes it look like an almost personal stab at christianity made by Sherie. Now I know that the show is just fun, and is making a joke... and isn't an actual message trying to be put forth by Sherie or the people writing, producing or being involved with the show... but it still just kind of rubs some of us the wrong way for a second before we realize what they're really doing... I don't see why you need to attack us about that.
that's a really big mic...

Those things you listed are done pretty tastefully (how they are written in the scripts), and those things are part of the story.
As far as we know, this is just part of the title/poster which seems to be completely unrelated to what the show is actually about.
This poster just seems disrespectful and tasteless to me.

The name by itself would have been fine. Funny and attractive.
They could have put a halo over her.
But I think the wounds on the hands was going too far, and I don't practice a religion.
