| He's entitled to his opinion of course, but it's hard to deny that there is a certain lack of graciousness in his expressing himself at such length and with such harshness to a reporter, when he's attending opening night -- presumably at the invitation of the producers or publicists. Maybe I'm just a stuffed shirt, but that was my reaction. |

| I agree with you. Of course, Lucas is welcome to his opinion, but he could've been more tactful in expressing it, especially since he was most likely given comps for opening night. He claims to be such a big fan of Moore's, so why not highlight the sections of the show or issues they both agree on? I'm guessing Lucas was there, in part, to plug his return to Broadway with Uma Thurman in ''The Parisian Woman.'' But either Lucas didn't promote it, or the reporter ditched any reference to it. It got overshadowed by Lucas' takedown of Moore. It's a matter of etiquette. I doubt Lucas would be thrilled if Moore came to the opening of ''The Parisian Woman'' and dumped on HIS performance. |

| Agreed--it's really classless. | |

| I don't know. If he were bad-mouthing an actor in a play it would be one thing, but this isn't exactly a case of that. In fairness, if it were me, I would not have said such comments to the press. But I would have thought them. |
