Stop judging me and the shows I’m a part of until you see them! You don’t know if they’re good or bad—so stop bitching about them and badmouthing me on social media. If you want to criticize AFTER you’ve seen a show, be my guest. —Theatre Lover

True Story – In the mid-90’s Rosie O’Donnell was appearing as Mrs. van Daan in an off-Broadway production of the “Diary of Anne Frank” The show closed after 3 nights because the audience refused to stop chanting “SHE’S IN THE ATTIC!”
Also, it was hfxgodzilla’s first directorial gig.
You’re going to get bad reviews… warranted or not.
If this is the business you’re thinking of making a career in, you need to let the work speak for itself and ignore the bullshit that comes with it.
Do you think stars like hearing about crap printed in the national enquirer?
no… but they don’t really care either.
Ivan, I hate to correct you, buddy, but this is an urban myth – Pia Zadora was supposedly the first actress to earn that catcall, at least that’s what I believed until I read this: http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/zadora…
LOL – I know – Mordecai Richler even made reference to it in one of his later novels. Solomon Gursky, I think.
And now back to “Hitler’s Willing Drama Critics” by Dennis Jonah Goldcato.
Probably the same twit that’s twittering about the 5′ 0″ lady.
if it is in a non reality reality show, then you and it sucks. if you are not a died in the wool thesbian, then you suck, and will never amount to shit. sorry, but that is the awful truth. just as many who think they can suing, can’t, you fall into this category. thinking you can act or perform, when you can’t or are not in the least entertaining at all.
i have listened to that shit they call music today, and a bunch of cats in a box, can do better. and the shit that passes for t.v., well just throw it out the fucking window. there is NO good music today, just a bunch of no talent bums yelling and screaming to the beat of someone banging garbage can lids together. move the fuck over simon, you just got axed in favor of me. those bums on there, could perform if their miserable lives depended on it.
and the ones that do go past the finals, are all one hit wonders. it’s a wonder that they even had a hit to begin with, seeing as how most, don’t even write their own stuff anyway. yep, tele at it’s finest, and theatre at it’s worst.
