Hello, Sam. And all the rest of you. I just couldn't resist joining in the fun. Look, I don't mean to demean Sam the man, but if his NY reviews are of the same ilk as his suggestions for DC, then baby, it's low IQ time, and for truth, well, well .... just don't what to say. Sam's opinion seems to matter to some of you, and to others he's just an ass. You know, being in DC we hear a lot of folks claiming they have the inside skinny to God and wisdom, and they are smart, smart smart, and we should all listen to them, and if we disagree, then strike us down with a dumb stick. That seems to be Sam's style. Sam, you suggestions for DC are okay, but do not reflect any special insight. And your reviews of NY shows remind me of what real critics (the ones who get paid, Sam) have said - and you may have copied. Get some independence.

Like Ilisa, I have a hard time calling Fosse's choreography "middling". Even funnier, to me, is the idea that the sophisticated crowd should go elsewhere because the music isn't "hummable". I don't usually find think of those two things together. By that logic, the opera Tosca isn't great music, but "Three Blind Mice" is...

<BR>"Three Blind Mice" Rocks!!! Alan is gone from Cabaret but it is still decent.

I agree with you on Les Miz-seen it 5 times over the past ten years and still ove it. Rent is great--but some people have trouble with content. For a really fun evening catch The Scarlet Pimpernel before it closes on January 2--I had seen it in Dallas this summer and loved it--convinced my group of 8 women(ages 38-72)to go and they loved it--wonderful cast and score!

Whoops-just noticed the typos-I love Les Mis!
