She sounds like me when I'm talking about geography or Daylight Savings Time.

You're from Arizona - what do you know about Daylight Savings Time?

Okay - excuse me but Raul Esparza - what? That was the single worst version of Being Alive I've ever heard. And yes, those certainly aren't actors playing all those instruments on that prerecorded track of twenty musicians, nor, from what I could tell, is it the orchestration used in the show.

I thought the Legally Blonde clips everyone was raving about before didn't make ME want to see it - I'm sure it's fun, but those clips were dreary. Not as dreary as The Times They Are A Changin' - thank goodness I missed THAT. And I was thrilled to see that no clips were shown from Ring Of Fire - karma, baby, karma!

I just applauded the winner here in my own living room. Really I did!

Yeah, well, when Zach Braff said, "My name is Zach Braff and I love musical theatre," I said, "Hi Zach! Welcome!"

I've never understood why professional actors need to have prompters for a two or three line "speech".

Actors can only read other people lines properly, I guess!

I understood "shoulders back." And "sing," "everything," and most of the last line.

Also, what on earth was that boy who I guess is from Ugly Betty doing on this show?

Mark has professional acting training and has performed on stage in both Philadelphia and New York. I'm sure his presence brought a smile to much of the viewing audience.

Don't know! Making that up since I can't watch the show! Ah!

... but that choreography is not a patch on the butt cheeks of the film choreography, and it is so ordinary as to defy logic - does no choreographer working today know how to conceive and build a number like the masters - Fosse, Bennett, Robbins, and even Tommy Tune? Awful.

Bourne is one on the most pre-eminent stage choreographers at work today; his work can not be fairly judged from a few snippets on a TV show - if you saw his work in person I suspect you might be impressed.

I saw two minutes of a mediocre number - I've seen plenty of two minute numbers on the Tonys that were brilliantly choreographed. This wasn't one of them. I've now seen two terrible numbers from Mary Poppins, but yes, perhaps I'd like it better in the theater.

His house is well known.

Rather than carry a torch for him - he often carries one for us.

Poppins choreography: the stage version can NOT match the movie version with all the tricks that were used; speed up "action", wires! And it's so frantic that dancers could not match it anyway! This is NOT supposed to be the film version; it's another version of the books! Oh well! What do I know!

I've heard that Mr. Bourne's other work is very good, although I've yet to see any of it. I only judge what's in front of my eyes.

There were not tricks in the Step In Time number in the film - just amazing choreography done by amazing dancers. I knew one of them and I heard all the stories about the creation of the number.

NO TRICKS? You've got to be kidding? What about the wired chimney sweeps?

Of course, the fact that the elaborate number in the film was done in many takes -- and maybe on different days! --and could not be done in one throw on stage has NO importance!

AND the camera movements added up to the choreography as well!
