Are These The Dumbest Producers On Broadway??????????? Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                      At least Bialystock and Bloom got a hit out of their endeavor.  But these three, from left to right, Scott Landis, Sonia Friedman and David Bandini are still trying to get a silk purse out of a sow's ear. They are not only dumb, but stubborn.



                                       Of course, this has to do with the Broadway revival of "Funny Girl," which has been a disappointment to so many.  Now, before I launch into this continuing saga, let me say I am not anti-Beanie Feldstein.  I thought she was great in "Lady Bird," and I have no doubt she was equally good in "Booksmart," and as Monica Lewinsky, both of which I hope to view some time.


                                         But "Funny Girl" was just way out of her reach.  And now I have worries about her playing Mary Flynn in the film version of "Merrily We Roll Along," scheduled to be released in 2040.  I want to be around to see this.  I will be 85!!!!!!!!!!!  I cannot even think of this.


                                           Now, the wheels start spinning.  The producers are saying that from the beginning they contemplated putting Julie in several regular performances, to lighten Beanie's load.  Because they knew she could not do it.  So, why not buy out her contract?  With each performance Julie does, and an album coming out, no one is interested in Beanie.  Everyone wants to see Julie, whom they leave the production talking about avidly.  Not so with Beanie.


                                                This dumb trio, who must have sanctioned Michael Mayer's inept casting of Beanie Feldstein, are now eating crow.  Let's see how they save face, when, suddenly, Beanie departs, and Julie takes over.  I mean, already online, Julie's so far performance schedule has been posted, for those who are interested.  This is unprecedented.


                                                   Save face for this show.  And save Beanie from losing her reputation in having her spoiled brat tantrums, and missing performances.


                                                     I knew all this would happen as far back as April 2, when David and I saw Beanie.  So, why are the producers torturing Beanie and themselves?????????????????


                                                      Admit you made a mistake and give the audience who it wants--Julie Benko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 


                                                      I cannot wait to hear her do "The Music That Makes Me Dance!"

  2. Victoria,

    It is being filmed in real time
    over 20 ages, with the actors
    actually aging.
