| I knew boasting was the wrong word.Lol.Why 9?Why not!The previews are not the same as the final show.Interesting to see the developement of the show.As i wrote i wish i had more steve barton shows.But thats the way it is.To compare dance to tanz maybe is wrong.The shows stand by them selves.Would tanz have faired any better on broadway?Maybe maybe not.Given that lestat and dracula flopped.Seen both those shows on dvd and i enjoyed them.If we only had dotv would the critical views still be as harsh.Sure you can say that M.c stuffed up dance,but one man can not destroy a musical.And given that jim has had many projects that fail to get off the ground(see ryans list from a few weeks back)the M.c bashing was a little unfair.What if Bat the musical fails to go ahead.Who the hell do we blame then.Also the average theatre goer wouldnt have been able to compare dotv to tanz so its not like they could be sitting in the theatre saying to them selves."oh tanz was much better"then telling their friends not to go.We as fans of Jim could do this,as could the average musical fan. > You call that boasting ?!?
