The past two weeks I've seen "Legally Blonde" and "LoveMusik". Both of which have a draft of an abridge written already, and both of which I'll post after opening night.
I wait until opening night for three reasons:
And dammit, the reviews were tepid; why can't I see Curtains for cheap SOMEHOW?
I wait until opening night for three reasons:
- Just as newspaper reviews don't come out till opening night, I would prefer to not post my "version" of a review till then. It's fair.
- A lot changes during previews.LoveMusik may end up being a good example of this, and I'm waiting to hear from the message board folks how the show fixes up over the course of previews.
- A lot of the reviews for a show give me ideas of last-minute jokes I add to the abridges. Forbidden Broadway's Gerard Alessandrini says that sometimes, entire parodies he writes are just reformulations of a nasty Ben Brantley review. I liked that idea, so I promptly stole it.
