@AngelorPhantom1359 where did I say they were not allowed to have that opinion? I said it was comical how they seem like they are HOPING for shows to fail. Great attitude

@degeorgetitanic They weren't judging Wicked before they saw it. Michael Reidel saw Wicked and when it was playing in San Francisco is was a very flawed show that was very heavily edited for Broadway. And a lot of people, critics and regular people, do not like Stephen Schwartz's music, myself included. It's called an opinion, and they're paid to give it.

its tragic at the end tho. Especially when a show is taken away from someone like that. I feel even WORSE tho for "The oldest living confederate woman" haha. All kidding aside tho, TABU should have ran a lot longer. And SCREW these critics!!! seems like it turned out to be a pretty huge season on Broadway anyway. so there. :)

At 3:05 what are the books underneath Gregory Maguire's "Wicked" novel? Just curious so... :)

I don't know why, but I find it ironic that Nicky and Rod predate Kate Monster and Princeton.

tbh I only watched this for Idina...I just skipped to the Wicked parts... :)

I love how all the critics are sitting around bashing the shows/creators. They are the perfect image of your school bullies. ANd I LOVE how they think WICKED wouldnt be a hit yet it is the largest thing to hit Broadway since Phantom. And also, look how the other critics responded when the one guy said he enjoys Schwartz's music. They pretty much judge someone's work before even seeing it.

@theatremaniagrl14 well i mean playing boy george is a pretty big and demanding role. lolz im sure anyone would doubt theirself as to whether they are able to get it right, especially since EVERYONE knows who George O'Dowd (a.k.a Boy George) is. But I agree, he was incredibly talented :)
