And speaking of people who (loudly) don't get it, if you'd bothered to read any of what I wrote before you typed your knee-jerk response you'd realise we're on the same page. That's why - as I said somewhere else - I didn't go back after it transferred.

As for your first line, when someone heads a post with "the film of Menier looked VERY cheap", then no, sorry, it is not clear that they understand that it was not taped there.

It really doesn't matter WHERE it was filmed... it was the only film we got of the supposedly acclaimed hit UK revival of Funny Girl starring Sheridan Smith and directed by Michael Mayer... is that not what the film is? Is that not what I was reacting to/describing? Is that not who is directing this revival of Funny Girl too, also with someone known more for comedy than singing?

My only way of seeing that production is that film. I'm so very very sorry that I didn't differentiate that the version of it I got to see on film was the Menier *production* transferred into a different theater. The August Wilson is way bigger than Menier too... if this is Mayer's take on directing Funny Girl... or transferring that "take" into a bigger space, I'm worried.

Yeah, I read what you wrote, and that didn't excuse the way you spoke to the poster (who was actually agreeing with you), so you can take that shade right back.

It is common parlance to refer to transfers by the name of the original producing theater, so this was the Menier production of Funny Girl, wherever it was filmed. Again, since the poster was Yes, Anding you, I don't know why you turned around with a knee-jerk put down, but here we are.

"Yeah, I read what you wrote..."

If you had, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
