Instead I was rather ho-hummed by it too. The man beside me had tears of laughter pouring down his face and there was a 50% standing o. Maybe you can be too familiar with the material. But that's not true for Sondheim. Oh well, better to have seen it and been a bit disappointed than not to have and always wonder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797035092645713329.post-15896068908369446402008-01-16T18:05:00.000-05:002008-01-16T18:05:00.000-05:00Thanks, as always, for the comment, Esther, even t...Thanks, as always, for the comment, Esther, even though on this one, your guffaw is my ho-hum.jan@broadwayandmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05871839027802882307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797035092645713329.post-86913349652786734962008-01-16T16:45:00.000-05:002008-01-16T16:45:00.000-05:00Awww, I'm so sorry you were disappointed.

I'd never seen anything like it before, and I was just thoroughly entertained. I definitely agree that it's better if you've seen the movie beforehand.Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16076517542540421210noreply@blogger.com
