Lol I meant silly "filly"….just goes to show how cream cheese snacks late at night can be too influential….althought I could have tried to pass it off as a Bil Keane reference. There go those pesky standards again…*sigh*

Ok. Respectfully heard and noted. Although I am sorry to point out you make the same "idiot mistake" in not hearing out the rest of the plot. Once stiletto shoes became a plot point….in a show….about SPIDER-MAN….well heck, forgive me, silly philly that I am…. I guess I'm way off base then. I guess I missed the Prada story arch. Did Bendis write that one? Was it in Ultimate? How long did they have to fix this mess? How many postponed and cancelled shows? It should have been postponed again. It should never have played in that state. People seem to think that "previews" means it can be woefully unfinished… well there was an audience…paying full price, and it is unfortunate that some felt that the first impression was a bad one….but you only get one chance to make it, as they say…and it was their choice to stage an unfinished, confusing and poorly structured show…and people will react, in both directions. I say many nice things where it is deserved, but I am not a "give a trophy just for participating" kind of gal. I appreciate your counter point! If you have seen it I appreciate it even more…if you haven't please practice what you preach and reserve judgement in my direction as well, as I am not speaking from a place of ignorance. 🙂

"Lord of the Rings – the Musical"

and

"The Bandwagon"

Also, such a hugely bloated budget makes me wonder if there isn't some sort of ulterior motive here, a la "Springtime For Hitler".
