It's been a most festive day. I do believe I side with DR Ron Pulliam on WHITE CHRISTMAS, which I really really enjoyed. I think David Ives' script improves upon the screenplay enormously, and I really loved the musical numbers, the staging and the cast. I was prepared to have a good time, since I have so many friends involved with the show, and I'm so glad I saw it.
DR MBarnum would love this show. It verges on kitsch at times but never goes there and it's smartly assembled.
I was sitting in house seats and I was appalled by the idiocy and rudeness of the audience in expensive seats around me. Thirty minutes into the first act the four people sitting directly in front of me and Chris showed up, took forever to sit during a musical number, and then the younger couple talked, laughed and made out for the rest of the act. What dildos. Behind me an idiot woman rattled the ice in her cup(!!) and never shut up, even when her damned mouth was full.
