The Glorious Ones Review!!

I just saw "The Glorious Ones," a new musical from Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, and I must say that it is, sorry for the pun, glorious!!!

All of the cast is fantastic in their own way. That goes double for the amazingly amazing Marc Kudisch, who I was able to meet after the show!!!!!!

I think it closes in January, so it would be wise to see it soon.

Also, Happy Kwanzaa!!

Yes, I am tolerant of other people's fake "religious" holidays.

Don't judge me.....

The SITFA's!!!!!!

Welcome, one and two, to the 1st Annual Sucks in The Face Awards!!

CATS!!!!!!!

YAY!!

Up next, the CFA's.

oh, and.........christmas

Chipmunk Hunt

In lieu of recent events, I think it's about time for a Chipmunk Hunt.

If you find any chipmunks, or see anything that has to do with chipmunks, kill it, and remove it's "chipmunkness."

Preferably any chipmunk named "Alvin."

Awards Updates!

With the SITFA's in two days, and the CFA's in January, it seems that awards season is clearly looming over us all.

Plus of course, the "real" awards, like the SAG's, the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice Awards, and the coveted Oscars!!

So, starting December 27th, a new segment will be used, to cover these various film awards.

It will be known as;

The Wacky Circumference!!!!

You know, for kids!
So, see you there everybody...

P.S It's from "The Hudsucker Proxy." Excellent film.

Sweeney Todd Review!!!!

It has finally arrived!!!

The movie 28 years in the making, and just how good is "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," you ask?

Very.

Just like the majority of film critics have already said, this is Tim Burton's best film since "Ed Wood." Possibly better? That's a discussion for another time.
Johnny Depp. Scary as hell. Amazing, creepy, just about every adjective you can use to describe his awesomeness. He brings a new level of terror to Sweeney that I have never seen before. He will hopefully be a big contender for this year's Best Actor Oscar.
Helena Bonham Carter. Very nice as well. She does what she can with the character, and is quite successful in doing so. By the Sea was probably the funniest of the comical sequences in the film. It's just that her singing voice, is a bit too light for me.
Alan Rickman. A stellar performance, to say the least. Quite creepy, and cool and such.
Timothy Spall. Bad teeth. Good performance.
Jamie Campbell Bower and Jayne Wisener were both good as Anthony and Johanna, respectively.
Laura Michelle Kelly also was good as the beggar woman.
Edward Sanders gave a chillingly creepy performance as Tobias.
And of course, Sacha Baron Cohen was hilarious in his role of Pirelli.

The film's ending is probably the creepiest ending to a film I've seen in years.
I hope this makes alot of money in its run.
At least it has gained near critical acclaim.
And hopefully gain alot of Awards/nominations.

Ta Ta, peeps, and remember,

Sweeney's Waiting.......

The Drowsy Chaperone is CLOSING!!!

Yes, sadness.

Good Films!

The American Film Institute has released their list of the Top 10 Films and TV Shows of 2007.

I'm a bit baffled by the absence of "Sweeney Todd" from the list, but the list says that they are the most influential films of the year, so whatever.

At least "American Gangster" and "Atonement" didn't make the list.

-Tomorrow, the Soundtrack to the Sweeney Todd Movie is released. Oh, how thrilling!!

-Does anyone know what's happening with the Writer's Strike? I would really like some updates on this, and such....

I Am Legend Review

It's very good.

Don't think that it's just a horror movie, because it's not. It's an epic drama about one man's survival, by his lonesome.

Also, Sweeney Soundtrack in TWO DAYS!!!!!

Excitements, and such!!!

Golden Globes Nominations...

Wow.

There are pretty bad.

At least Juno and Sweeney are there, but I'm a little annoyed about the absence of Darjeeling and Before the Devil.

And what the hell is Atonement?!?!?!??!?!!??!

Sweeney Todd Opening Credits!

You probably think that the opening credits to a movie don't count.

But not with SWEENEY!!!!

That's right, here are the opening credits to what will be the most awesome film of 2007, courtesy of BroadwayWorld.com.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I will watch that clip another two hundred times.....

The Old Red Hills of Home!!!!

I just got the London Cast Recording of "Parade."

It's Rockin'!!!!

Awards Update!!

The SITFA's have been chosen, and will be announce in Two Weeks.

And the surprise 2nd awards show is....

The CFA's!!!

aka, the Comedic Film Awards!!

Honoring the best comedies of the year!!

The winners will be announced in January!!!

Picture

Because of the incessant urging of some of my readers, I've changed by picture from Chip Zien, the always wonderful actor, to Douglas, a puppet.

Nice, nice.

-In movie news, "The Golden Compass" will probably be a box office flop, from the looks of it.

-Some friends of mine said they would rather see "Alvin and the Chipmunks," than "Sweeney Todd."

That is pronounced, "Blasphemy."

Now come on people. Just because it's a musical doesn't mean it's gay. It's directed by Tim Burton for God's Sake.

Make "Sweeney Todd" the #1 grossing musical of all time!!!!!!

Juno Review

Her sisters name is Liberty Bell.
Her best friend is addicted to orange Tic Tacs.
And, she's a sixteen year old pregnant high school student.

This is Juno, star of the best comedy of the year, which is also "Juno."

Actually, the film has two stars, actress Ellen Page, and screenwriter Diablo Cody. Both are the reason why I, and hopefully all moviegoers, loved this film. She uses such fresh, and hip dialogue, that is both humorous and truthful. And Page is definitely deserving of the Oscar Buzz she is receiving.
And of course, the supporting cast is phenomenal. Michael Cera as Juno's impregnator (is that a word,) is magnificent, and J.K Simmons is quite hilarious as Juno's father.

This film is hilarious, and has a great heart, and I could see this being a big Oscar contender.

-Also, congrats to Tim Tebow, for winning the Heisman Trophy.
I saw him.
In person.
In the city.
Surrounded by screaming fans and papparazzi.
I had no idea who he was.
But then I heard people talking about him.
Why am I writing like this????

The SIFTA's: Part 2: Things that don't....

Sorry guys, Whoopi is too busy not doing anything to host the SITFA's.

Let's hope Billy Crystal is available.

Today, I thought about stuff that sucks, but also stuff that DOESN'T.

For example;

[Title of Show] and more specifically, the [Title of Show] show. If you love theatre, watch it!!!


Juno, which I'm seeing tonight, so, report on that, later.

Later.

The SITFA's : Part 1: Intro

For those of you confused by my last blog, I will be starting my very own awards ceremony, (plus, clues to another awards ceremony, just be patient.)

The 1st Annual Sucks in the Face Awards, or SITFA's for short, "honor" the various entertainment fields of 2007, and everything about them that "sucked in the face."

Consider this sOmething that will Most probably blow thE ,minDs of everYone in the entertainment business.

So, stay tuned for updates on that, include possible nominees, the award categories, and Whoopi Goldberg hosting???

P.S. That's a pretty obvious clue people.

Annoyance

So....

I had tickets to Frankenstein, and it's closing the day before, so..

That pretty much counts as something that...

(Drum roll)

Sucks in the Face!!!

"The 1st Annul Sucks in the Face Awards."

This Christmas...

Be There, Or Don't!

Is He Dead? Review

Mark Twain's back!!

With a Vengeance!!!!

Just kidding, but seriously, Samuel Clemens new play "Is He Dead?" is probably the funniest play on Broadway at the moment.
Every member of the cast is fantastic, with stand out performances from Norbert Leo Butz, and Michael McGrath.
I must say that one of the best parts of the show was the spectacular set! It has a cool "forced perspective" design, and it goes under a dramatic change during the intermission, with literally put the audience in awe, That's right, they applauded the set! And that's pretty rockin'!

Now that "The Ritz" is closing on Sunday, I think that "Is He Dead?" will be the only comedic play on Broadway. Think of it as "The Xanadu of Plays."

Don't go in there thinking its a serious drama, because it's not. At All.
No.

But you should still go see this masterpiece of a farce.

Do it.
Now.

Stuff

Since when did Evel Knievel die????
-It's only a few times in a year that there is a weekend where NO good movies, or at least a movie I would just see with my friends, come out. Seriously, who the hell is gonna see "Awake," with Hayden Christensen, aka Pinocchio???

I say that because of his wooden acting, in case you didn't get the joke.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas Review!

Well, its December, and Christmas has officially begun. Every TV show has to do with the yuletide season, and even some movies. But Broadway only has one Christmas themed show.

And what a show it is!!!

All Families out there who want a great holiday show to go to, look no further! This is the second time I've seen this show, I saw it last year as well. But I must say that it was MUCH better this year!!

Patrick Page is just a great ball of talent, and is a perfect Grinch! Ed Nixon, who played Old max the Dog, was far more convincing of this role then John Cullum, who occupied the role last year. And also back from last year is Rusty Ross, once again is excellent as Young Max.

The child ensemble cast is outstanding, as well as the adult ensemble. This show not only has a lovely heart, but has one of the most underrated scores on Broadway.

So, see the Grinch, while you still can!!

IT'S OVER!!!

HELLS YEAH!

No Country For Old Men Review

And the award for "Creepiest Actor of All Time" goes to...

"drum roll"

Javier Bardem, for his portrayal of Anton Chigurh, in "No Country For Old Men," one of the best films of 2007.

After seeing the disaster that was "American Gangster," it's such a relief to see such a thrilling, masterpiece like this. The whole way through watching this movie, I was entralled by the amazing performances of Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and creepy-as-hell Javier Bardem. I could see this being nominated, for and possibly winning, various Oscars.

And remember;

Stay away from American Gangsters. They just might steal 2 and a half hours of your life.

American Gangster Review

About one year ago, there was a movie that was released, with big name celebrities, a famous director, and moderately good critical acclaim. I saw that movie, and it was forever placed into my bottom five of "Worst Movies Ever."

That movie was "Babel," and now, in November 2007, I'm feeling a bit of deja vu.

Before the writing of this review, I have looked at various other reviews from such sources as the NY Times, and Ebert and Roeper, and it has become apparent that the only way that they could have given these reviews is that they saw a different movie. They keep talking about all these deeper messages that they were gathering from the movie, and to be frank, none of that was clear in the movie.
Not to be arrogant, but I'm not a stupid person. Some sort of deeper message in the movie couldn't just fly above my head like that. What I saw, was two and a half hours of boredom, boredom, naked black chicks, a bit more boredom, boredom, a cameo by "Young Frankenstein" star Roger Bart, a moderately interesting shooting scene, boredom, and finally, a bad ending.

You can bash me all you want, movie lovers, but I am telling you all;

American Gangster is the 3rd worst movie EVER!!

Right above Babel, and Mr. Woodcock.

Strike, Strike, and More Strike......

Since its really late, and I'm way too lazy, I'm not posting the links to thee latest strike info.

It's all on Playbill.com, and places like that.

-In the mean time, for the sake of coolness, here's a list of some really good cast recordings you should get, and why;

Sweeney Todd (2005 Revival): I've always debated with myself whether reduced orchestrations are better than full ones. In some cases, Sunday in the Park with George, a large orchestra sounds beautiful. A great example of how a reduced orchestra sounds better than the original is the 2005 Tony winning Production of Sweeney Todd. As well as having an amazing cast, the Tony winning orchestrations sound fantastic!!!

Hello Again: If it weren't for Ol' JRB, Michael John Lachiusa would be the heir to the Sondheim Throne. Of all the shows that Lachiusa has written music for, this score always creeps the hell out of me, in a good way. This tale of sex throughout the twentieth century contains one of the most beautiful scores not written for the Broadway stage.

In Trousers: If there was a contest for "Craziest Lyrics by a Theatrical Composer," William Finn would win hands down. This show is the predecessor to the two Falsettos shows, that eventually transferred to Broadway, and won Finn two Tonys. With extremely catchy music, and screwed-up-as-hell lyrics, In Trousers is sure to drive you up the wall.

Floyd Collins: Just so you all know, I'm not really a fan of the "Golden Age" Composers, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, those guys. In fact, I think that the "New Age" Composers are even better then those old timers, no disrespect. Adam Guettel, who coincidentally is Richard Rodgers' grandson, gives us a lush beautiful score here, with Floyd Collins, which can be described as "Sondheim meets Bluegrass."

Both Recordings of Assassins: Assassins is probably in my Top 10 of Best Sondheim Scores, which I'll blog about in the near future. It is an extremely politically-incorrect depiction of the various Presidential Assassins. Now, the original 1991 Cast recording has "kinda" better orchestrations, while the 2004 "revival" Cast Recording has a much better cast, including Michael Cerveris, and Marc Kudisch, aka The Greastest B'Way Actor of All Time.

Caroline, Or Change: Thank G-d this whole show has been preserved for future generations to hear the most thrilling Tony-losing score of all time!! Unfortunately, I didn't see this most probably amazing show, but, a boy can dream......

Jerry Springer: The Opera: This doesn't even need an explanation. Get it NOW!!!!

Adios, and Happy Turkey Day!!

BROADWAY CANCELLED THROUGH NOV. 25!!!

The Worst News EVER!!!


Could someone try and explain to me why the union doesn't want to compromise? From what I understand, it's the union who isn't trying to settle this fairly.
If this isn't true, please tell em what the hell is going on!!

Even thought this is strengthening Off-Broadway:

STOP THE MADNESS!!!

Beowulf Review!!

Meh.

It was okay, nothing to brag about. The animation was solid, but the dialogue was a bit TOO cheesy. Shwatever.

-I've just recently heard about the whole "2 Girls 1 Cup" phenomenon. Its pretty crazy when videos of the REACTIONS of the video are more popular than the ACTUAL video!!

Have fun with that, America!

TWO REVIEWS!!!!

A movie, and theater review.

-Before The Devil Knows You're Dead

All I can say is WOW!!
This is such an amazing film. The cast is amazing, even though Marisa Tomei is naked for 2/3 of the movie.

SEE THIS MOVIE NOW!!

-Young Frankenstein
This was a great experience at the theatre. While not the best show I've seen, it' a lot of fun. Try and get it for cheap tickets. It's good, but it's not worth $400.

Christopher Fitzgerald is the stand out for me in the show. He is hilarious as Igor.

There were a lot of unnecessary choreographic moments throughout the show, but "Puttin' On the Ritz" was the best number in the entire show!!!

If you can get cheap tickets, see this show. If not, don't.

-The strike is still on!!!
Please, let's stop this madness!!!

STAGEHANDS STRIKE!!!

This is the moment we've all been dreading.

The stagehands have gone on strike, and all but 8 Broadway shows are closed.

As much as I am saddened by the shutting down of these shows, I fully support the stagehands and their plight.

Let's hope this doesn't go on for TOO long.....

Spelling Bee is Closing!!!!!!!

Very sad news indeed.

This is such a wonderful show, and I urge you all to go see it before it departs the Great White Way.

Broadway News: November 5 2007

Rock 'n' Roll, the new Tom Stoppard play, has received very good reviews as of my knowledge. Although I said that it might be a bit boring/too intellectual for some people, it might appear otherwise.

I hope that everyone involved with this show has a healthy run. So yeah.

-"The Glorious Ones," the new Ahrens & Flaherty musical, opens tonight!!!
I will be seeing it in December, so full report then.

-This Sunday, I'm Young Frankenstein-ing it up!! I'm the best kind of excited!!!!

Daylight Savings!

The clocks have been sent One hour back!!!!

(chaos ensues.)

My sources, these guys, tell me that the dreaded Bee Movie should NOT be in the top of the box office. While I haven't seen it, and it has over 50% good reviews, it still does NOT look like a good movie.

For a good film, that happens to be animated, see Ratatouille.


-I recently saw the two-in-one film Grindhouse. Very good. Planet Terror is quite superior to Death Proof, but still a fine piece of cinema.

-Now we're within the two month waiting point for the Sweeney Todd film!!!!!!
For the love of G-d people, GO see this movie on opening weekend!!!!!
Make it the #1 grossing movie musical of all time!!!!!
On December 21, 22, 0r 23, don't see Walk Hard, National Treasure 2, or P.S, I Love You!!!
See Sweeney!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Only a week 'til I'm seeing "Young Frankenstein."

Don't ask me why I put some things in quotes and not other things. Even I don't know why.

-Based on the reviews for Olde Frankenstein, I don't know if it's gonna run through December, which is when I booked tickets for!!!
Worried and such!!

-Wow, this is a really long post. And it's like 1/2 in the morning.
When I say 1/2, I mean it's supposed to be 2, but it's actually 1.
Not half in the morning.

Night night cyber peeps.

Two New Cast Recordings!!

Fantastic News!!

The cast recording of LoveMusik is finally being released within the next month!!!

Mega Excited!!!

And, as of my knowledge, the first ever recording of Michael John Lachusia's acclaimed show "Little Fish" will be released in early 2008.

Huzzahs are in order!!

Spring Awakening Review: Numero Dos

I once again ventured back into the land of "Spring Awakening," the Tony-Award winning musical, for the second time. Pretty damn good.

Jonathan Groff wasn't there tonight, but his understudy, his name escapes me at the moment, was very good. John Gallagher Jr. was excellent as always, and the new ensemble is excellent as well.

I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like the shows been dragged out a lot more. Maybe it's because of the Tony. Shwatever.

-Part Three of Imaginationland was tonight. Thank G-d for TiVo!

Only two more days til the dreaded "Bee Movie" arrives.

G-d help us. G-d help us all.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

No trick or treating for me!

Full report on Spring Awakening later.

For a funny Halloween 'toon, click here.

Have fun with all your mischievous trickeries!

Robert Goulet, Dead at 73

He will be missed.

Dumbledore is Gay

And I don't mean that in the insulting way, I mean that he has actually been outed!

What does J.K Rowling have to gain from this? I have nothing against homosexuals, but a fictional dead wizard whose book series has ended? There's no point!! I never liked Harry Potter in the first place, and now I'm even more put off then ever!

- It's Halloween tomorrow! I'm seeing Spring Awakening for the second time to celebrate the occasion. You may not think it's a scary show, but the fact that it won the Tony for Best Book, THAT'S scary!

-Les Miz is FINALLY closing. Not that it's a bad show, but it was more of a clone, than a revival.

Jerry Springer: The Opera: Update

As of this moment, I am officially going to the first NY performance of Jerry Springer: The Opera!

Very excited!!!!

Can't Wait

-Mini Saw IV Review

It's good. See it.

Harvey Keitel is Jerry Springer!!!!

Most exciting news!!!! Cant' wait!!!!

Broadway Abridged

Although in the past I have not been that kind to BroadwayAbridged.com, I must say the new "abridged" script of "Rock 'n' Roll," the most probably intellectually superior new play by Tom Stoppard, is utterly hilarious.

And Gil Varod, if you're reading this, sorry about calling you unfunny in that email I sent you.

-If you haven't seen Part Two of Imaginationland yet, find it and watch it IMMEDIATELY!!

California Wildfires

From what I know, there have been various wildfires in the State of California. Lets all hope that the people of California are okay, and they get through this event safely.

-In other news, the documentary "Show Business" is finally on DVD, and it is amazing!! If you get the chance, see this movie!!

Second Sweeney Trailer!

Anyone who isn't excited for this movie is not a true human being!!

WHISTLE!!!!!

Imaginationland!

For those out there who watch South Park, tonights episode was pretty good.
Not a lot of jokes, but the whole concept was very funny.

And there's a cliffhanger, so that's always fun.

Baseball Commercial!

I just saw a commercial for the new baseball season, or something. And it was being narrated by Dane Cook.

Um, Why? What does Dane "I was kinda funny two years ago, but now I think I'm so cool and can act in movies, and record singles and anything else I wanna do" Cook have to do with baseball?

Zilch, that's what!

A Catered Affair Video Clip!

I keep watching this clip over and over and over again!

Can't wait!!!

Clay Aiken in Spamalot!

Really?

Who was the genius behind this idea?

Where's the logic!

Shwatever.

Broadway Season: '07-08

Just for the fun of it, I'm giving you all out there a special preview at the upcoming Broadway Season, both musicals and plays, along with my opinions on whether they will be good or not. Here we go;

What has already opened this season:

Xanadu: Although I've already reviewed it, I must once again say that this is such a great show!

Grease (revival): From what I've heard, it's crap. Probably true.

Mauritius: A play about a stamp collection. How could it NOT be good?

The Ritz (revival): Gay bathhouses, mobsters, and Rosie Perez. I smell a Tony.

Upcoming:

Pygmalion (revival): It's "My Fair Lady" without the music. Fun Fun Fun.

A Bronx Tale: Chazz Palminteri brings his one-man show to Broadway. Might appeal to some. Not to me.

Cyrano de Bergerac (revival): What could be more fun than Kevin Kline with a big nose?

Rock 'n' Roll: The new play from Tom Stoppard. Lets pray that it's not 9 hours again.

Young Frankenstein: The new Mel Brooks musical, based on the movie. The blockbuster of the season. Fingers crossed.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (revival): I saw it last year, and it's cute. Great for the little ones, and it won't bore the adults.

The Farnsworth Invention: It's Tv. On Broadway!

The Seafarer: Sounds kinda cool. Something about Irish people, and a card game.

August: Osage Country: I'm not really a "play" person. So,yeah, not that interested.

Is He Dead?: A new Mark Twain play. Thats right. America's favorite humorist is back from the dead to bring us comedy at its finest.

Cymbeline (revival): Shakespeare at Lincoln Theater. Yawn.

The Little Mermaid: One of the greatest animated films of all time is now a musical. From what I've heard, the costumes are horrible, and the second act has a singing contest. Curse you, Disney!!

This is as far ahead as I'm gonna go. You don't have to listen to some of my criticisms if you don't want to. Shwatever.




Peace Y'all.

The Darjeeling Limited: Review

I want to start off by saying that I have NO clue, whatsoever, of what will be nominated for this years Academy Award for Best Picture. I'm not saying there haven't been any good movies this year, but as of yet, nothing has really stood out. Until now.

Second order of business. There were only two trailers before the film. Both looked like really good films.

O' Jerusalem: The story of two friends, and how they are separated after the birth of the State of Israel.

Juno: A comedy about a teenage girl who gets pregnant.

Now, to the film at hand.

I have not seen any of Wes Anderson's previous films. Don't worry, I will get around to it. But I must say, this movie was pretty damn good.
Darjeeling tells the story of three brothers, who reunite on a train in India, that bares the title of the film. The three brothers have not communicated since the death of their father, one year ago. The brothers consist of Francis (Owen Wilson), who was just in a tragic accident, Peter (Adrien Brody), who is expecting a child at home, and Jack (Jason Schwartzman), who hasn't been in America for a year.
Francis is hoping that this will be a spiritual journey for all the brothers, as they ride the train, and visit their mother, unbeknown to Peter and Jack.
What I really liked about the movie was the fabulous art direction. The look of the whole movie is fantastic, and is a treat for the eyes.
Each of the brothers, Wilson, Brody, and Schwartzman, give uniquely spectacular performances. Each of them have these little quirks about them, that you just have to see for yourself. I wouldn't do the film justice if I just wrote them down.
If you get the chance, please see this film. It's the only film as of yet that I would consider for Best Picture. The only other promising film that could be nominated, but probably won't be, would be Sweeney Todd.

Fingers crossed.

Xanadu: The Musical Review!

After my thoughts on Legally Blonde, I thought it would be nice to share with you my thoughts on a GOOD show, Xanadu!

I have seen the original movie that this stage show is based on.

The movie is crap.

The stage show is fantastic.

Every member of the cast is outstanding in their own way. Kerry Butler is hilarious, and her fake Australian accent brings down the house. When I saw it, Cheyenne Jackson was out, but his understudy, Curtis Holbrook, was pretty good as well. Tony Roberts was spectacular. Jackie Hoffman was hilarious!

And Mary Testa, well, she was the best part of the show. But, if you're reading this Mary, you owe me a photograph!!!

If you have the chance, you should definitely see this show!

I'm out.

Movie Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, Sunday October 14 2007, I will be seeing "The Darjeeling Limited," The only good movie showing nearby to where I live. I know this contradicts my last post, but i just remembered it. And its only showing at a really small cinema called Malverne. For those of you who don't know, "The Darjeeling Limited" is the latest film from director Wes Anderson, of "The Royal Tenenbaums" fame.

I'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

Later.

Introduction- Who am I?

What' up Cyberland!

This is The Drowsy Kaye. As of this post, there is nothing good showing at the local cinemas, and the official Broadway season hasn't really started yet. For those of you who don't know, I am a big fan of musical theater, among other things. I will be typing my opinions on various aspects of the entertainment world, mainly theatre, movies, and Tv.

My first topic; Legally Blonde: The Musical.

The "geniuses" at MTV decided that the perfect way to raise box office sales would be to AIR THE ENTIRE SHOW ON TELEVISION! WHILE the show is STILL showing on Broadway! These must be the same people people who thought of this disaster of a show. The only good things about this show are Christian Borle, and Michael Rupert. The score is catchy, in an annoying way. The book is really corny. And the source material wasn't really screaming "MUSICAL!" I'm watching it at the moment, Tivo, and it really does suck.

I hope there are a lot of you reading out there. I would really appreciate it if you guys out there would share with me your opinions on this blog. Thanks a bunch!

More to come......
