I don't buy that. The theater district was mobbed last night, and it was, in fact, NYC's first gridlock alert day of the holiday season.

I agree that blizzard conditions often keep people home, or create travel problems. The weather last night was quite pleasant. I don't believe you can blame the weather or the time of year for an empty mezzanine at the Nederlander last night.

The show just started, and Danza's no Cooper or Jackman. I will attend tomorrow afternoon, and report back on the attendance, etc.

I thought the movie was fun but the musical a letdown. McClure was very good but Danza could not sing nor dance. I adore all other scores by Brown but disappointed in this one. Also there were parts of the book that I just thought were too silly.

I was quite amazed with the very good reviews it received at Paper Mill.

>> I was quite amazed with the very good reviews it received at Paper Mill.

if this thing turns out to be a stinker those reviews are really going to piss me off. i'm going with a group in a couple of weeks. i only buy in advance for group sales and went ahead with this one based solely on those reviews.

oh well, like the old saying goes, you buy a ticket and you take a chance. man, i sure wish i had waited on this one. at least the date is a couple of weeks away.

Well, the night I saw it at Paper Mill the audience was loving it. My friend and I looked at each other in amazement. four friends also saw the show there and were equally disappointed. I always thought Danza was suppose to be a good showman. Not when we saw it. But we are in the minority based on the audience responses when we were there.

of course you are right. Aside from everything else, how would one explain the disparity with other shows whose audiences endured the same "cold temps" (by which we mean, to put it in context, temps bottoming out right around the freezing mark-not in single digits or accompanied by snow.
