"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Yes, please break a leg. Maybe two. Yeah, make that two.

Joe, please don't put Fiyero in a league that includes Sweeney, Buddy, and Tevye.
It just doesn't fit.

Posted: 6/6/08 at 10:45pmWow I can't believe how negative everyone is. He's worked hard for this and is making his debut tonight in a hit show. I'd think you'd all identify with him.

I wish him luck, but really he worke hard for this?
Did he get up and take acting, dancing and singing classes for years?
Did he go to Broadway auditions every morning for years?
Did he work his way up from Dinner Theatre to Summer Stock to National tours?
Did he work in any Broadway chorus singing 8 shows a week for Broadway minimum?

Posted: 6/6/08 at 11:20pmHmmm I don't know which part he'd be right for in that, JP. I can't really see him as Jesus or Judas.

Some of you guys can be real horses asses, you know?
Taylor Hicks has never done anything except win a contest none of you have the talent to enter, let alone face Simon. If Simon says you got no talent, MAYBE we'll take it as serious critism, but for you guys to go after someone BEFORE he debuts, it's Dear SH*T time. So sew up the stupid yapholes and give the guy a chance.
If he's underwhelming, then you can make the snide comments.

Posted: 6/7/08 at 2:02amI could care less about Taylor Hicks. I don't love him and I don't hate him. As far as I'm concerned he simply exists. But I'm ready for the end of his run to get here and for his fans to go far, far away. I don't hate him but I do hate his fans.

Ok, he won AI last year and he decides to take a role in this piece of **** production? Could he really find nothing better to do? Like maybe tour, or maybe start working on another album, or take a break for a few months? How this career move made sense to anyone is beyond me.
And by the way I have nothing against Taylor, this just confuses the hell out of me.

A review of tonight from one of his fans:
""His hair was like a pompadour his hair was totally white all the way around" (Sounds like a caricature of Elvis.)
His song time was cut in half. He did the stupid head toss thing. HE FLUBBED THE LYRICS.
Enough said. It is what it is."

Posted: 6/7/08 at 2:39amWow... so very descriptive. They spent most of the time describing his hair.
