Posted: 6/10/12 at 9:41pmIsn't he entitledd to his opinion? how is that different than any of us not liking it?
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Wow, bitter much?
He's always come off as a giant ass to me. He was quite obnoxious when American Idiot wasn't as honored as he felt it should have been.

Because no one here has said a bad word about anything all night either on here or twitter....
It wasn't great to be fair I don't want Josh Young shouting at me about Jesus.

Posted: 6/10/12 at 10:01pmYeah but no one knows or cares who you are. Tony Vincent has a public image to maintain..
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Tony who?
Never heard of him before and couldn't care less what he thinks.

All I could thank of while watching Tony in American Idiot was the whiny-voiced bully on the Nickelodeon cartoon Doug. Hurt my ears.
Not a fan of the Tony performance of JCS, but really, that's just sour grapes.

Posted: 6/10/12 at 11:19pmDamn, when musical theater people become unhinged they really become some serious butt-hurt queens.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 6/10/12 at 11:27pmTony Vincent is an asshole. This is a fact he does not try to hide very often.

Really starting to regret my screenname choice from back when I was a far less knowledgeable Broadway fan.
I mean, that JCS performance tonight did suck, and was total WTF in design and execution, but that's no reason to bash it on Twitter as someone who is associated with the show and a (quasi-)public figure.

Posted: 6/10/12 at 11:41pmAlso, I think it's really funny that ALW has gone on record as saying this was like his favorite production of JSC ever and Vincent feels "embarrassed" for him.

Posted: 6/11/12 at 12:28amThe title tune is very simply staged, but with some of the dancers at the top of the scaffolding that wasn't on the stage tonight, rendering tonight's performance of the number cheap-looking. I actually, surprisingly, liked this new JCS.

Posted: 6/11/12 at 12:58amI thought tonight's JCS performance was way better than Tony Vincent's Tony Awards performance a few years back. His Judas looked like he walked out of a back issue of Freshman Magazine. Josh Young has a good look for the role and sang it a bit better than Vincent IMO.

Posted: 6/11/12 at 1:10amTony has a right to his opinion and to put it out there just like we all do. I also think he has one of the best voices on broadway ....he also has the confidence to go with it. Some people may use a different word to describe it but I like confidence!!!
I have RSD...but it doesn't have me!!!!

Posted: 6/11/12 at 1:40amI agree with him. Josh Young has a great voice, but it's not the prop voice for that show or role, and this production is just awful. How he got nominated or the show, I'm not sure.
