I want the last two hours and forty-five minutes of my life refunded.

And viruswshoes - forget everything I said about Candide being a show that you 'must not miss'.

Or rather, even if you saw this particular production, you'd still have missed it.

I'd say a blasphemy on Bernstein and Sondheim, not to mention Voltaire, has been committed - but that would be giving dramatic credit where it most certainly is not due.

gggggaaaAAAaaaAaaaRrrrRRRRRrrrrrggghhhhh!

If you are running a community theatre, you do not do yourself or your cast and company any favors at all by taking on productions that you don't have strong enough actors to carry.

I just - I'm not even going to bother to rant. Unless you've worked in theatre, and unless you're familiar with this show - and unless you've seen in performed the way it's meant to be performed and then had the horror of seeing what was done to it tonight - well, anyway. Yeah, enough already.

Oh, sister believe me - you do not want that.

I do, however, have to write a comparison/contrast paper on it. My professor shall receive the full breadth and depth of my ire.

Lucky bastard.

To be fair - the costumes were unexpectedly quite good. Does that lessen the vitriol any?

Aww

Don't worry. I put in a word for you. Dread Lord Cthulhu will eat them *first*. ^_^
