Does everything have to be a masterpiece?? NO!! I Enjoyed seeing Megan Mullally too! Sometimes its nice to forget about real world problems,to just sit back, relax and laugh. My friend and I had a great time... We met a nice guy from out of state, in the ticket line who was buying a ticket to take his mom. How nice that was, too. Too bad I didn't get his number- if you're out there.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797035092645713329.post-39389761145619667242008-05-25T22:43:00.000-05:002008-05-25T22:43:00.000-05:00Hand slapped and chastised?

And you’re right too that those of us who love theater should be rooting for shows to succeed and not watching for them to stumble. So on those accounts, consider my hand slapped and me appropriately chastised. But I can't agree with you that Young Frankenstein is a good show. And I think the hubris of its creators had a lot to do with it's not being so.jan@broadwayandmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05871839027802882307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797035092645713329.post-71616286185131905372008-05-25T11:14:00.000-05:002008-05-25T11:14:00.000-05:00It is certainly true that Mel and company alienate...It is certainly true that Mel and company alienated themselves from the theatre community this season with a series of boneheaded blunders. But what I'm finding more interesting is how many in this community have made sport of reveling in its speculated financial woes. Aside from the arrogance of its producers, Young Frankenstein is still a fairly good show, worthy of a place on Broadway. I for one hate to see it or any other show of reasonable merit in trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
