Poll
Thu, 12 July 2001, 01:38 pmI have a couple of queries regarding the current poll. Firstly, it asks us to vote for our favourite "broadway" musical. By saying "broadway" I assume that means that angled strip in NYC around which most of the NY theatres are. So, does that mean we are being asked "Which of the current musicals on Broadway now (or recently) do you prefer?"? If so, I don't get it because there ain't too many of us here in godzown what get to go to too many "broadway" musicals. The voter base would be very small.
If the question should have been a more general "Which of these is your favourite musical?", why is there not somewhere for Leah and me to vote "None"?

Thu, 12 July 2001, 06:12 pmIt is a rather superficial poll with notable absences (the two biggest turning points in music theatre are not there - JC Superstar and Oklahoma) and some bizarre inclusions...Fame?! Lion King?!? Also, the English and the French would argue strongly with the definition of Les Mis, Cats and Phantom as 'Broadway' musicals.

Ay carumba...if you weren't friends with my best mate (Nat Diggins) you would get a good sound flaming from me, not to mention from her, Cary (and weren't you in 'Little Voice'???). But as it stands, I shall hope that someone else will leap to the defence of this much maligned and well and truly valid art-form.
