| But, did he like it? I am at a loss as to what to say. No wait This is the most appalling show I think I’ve ever seen. Was it deliberately created to test the audiences patience? (As well as rip them off) The timeless, witless music and lyrics are the worst I’ve ever heard. If they ever record it (they won’t… can’t… MUST’NT) it could be used to torture people. Sheridan’s ‘singing ‘ was absolutely painful. She can’t sing and this exposes her terribly. A load of tuneless screeching. Even Audra McDonald couldn’t sell these songs though to be fair. What is her character supposed to be? What is the point in all this? I felt embarrassed for every single person on stage. What on earth must they all be thinking- looking out at the dead eyed audience- slowly losing the will to live? There are some seriously talented people on that stage. None of them deserve this. The audience reaction was bewilderment throughout. The shameless curtain call is perhaps the single most mortifying thing I’ve ever seen on a stage. No we won’t get up and clap. No it wasn’t good. Stop trying to engineer a standing ovation. I hated every single moment of this show and I hope it closes the day after reviews come out. I’d rather Thriller Live go into this theatre than this. At least that would give an audience some entertainment and joy. Ivo Van Hove and Rufus Wainwright should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. |
