BONO WAS ROBBED

[SondheimFan5]

One of the finest scores written for the American musical theatre since "Ragtime," "Next To Normal," and "Light in the Piazza." I'm so shocked and saddened that Bono & The Edge were not nominated for their work on this groundbreaking show.

Ok. (But you won't find too many, if anyone at all, that agrees with you.) Personally I was bored with the music, never wanted to see the show or hear the music ever again. (and I like Bono and U2)

Boner and The Urge deserve a Special Tony for Best Back-Stabbing Collaborators and it should be presented by Julie Taymor.

The music SUX

Now this thread is basically a joke.

[FindingNamo]

I'm not joking at all. If I ever see Boner or The Urge in public I will ask them to their faces what it felt like to betray their collaborator. Maybe that's what their weeper "Bad" was about.

Oh, Fear not! Julie will have her revenge!

[SondheimFan5]

Jeez I was kidding, just like out friend Jordan with his Darren joke!

You can tell from the faux-serious wording of SonheimFan's original post that he's joking. It made me laugh! Come on, he placed Spiderman's score as "one of the finest scores written for the American musical theatre.."

I too am "shocked and saddened"...that this Spiderman musical is an actual show that is making a ton of money. Maybe one day someone will write a great (or even good, hell even passable) superhero musical- but Bono is not that someone and Spiderman is not that show.

You think Spidey has a bad score? You should hear their 1990 London fiasco - the RSC musical version of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.

(..and no, this isn't a joke - look it up.)

Robo got boned

"Bono was robbed"

I know, right?! Chaz totes should have won DWTS!

[broadwayfever]

I agree...I believe Spiderman is the most underrated score out there.

[dramamama611]

Agree with what? The op claims that his original post was a joke.

[yankeefan7]

dramamam611 - I agree with you 100% on this one. The only reason I would have even thought of going to see this was because I really like Bono/U2. I was incredibly disappointed with the music, found it incredibly dull. Guess it shows that most "pop/rock" stars can't write for the Broadway stage. (Paul Simon was another example)

Someone is always getting robbed on these boards.
