When Was Broadwayworld's Golden Age?

[GlindatheGood22]

That's what I originally read when I saw the "When Was Broadway's Golden Age?" thread. Thoughts?

[blaxx]

You're racist!

[JoeKv99]

It was better before.

[blaxx]

Ok.

[LizzieCurry]

Hailey Banks.

I would mention how it was great when Margo posted, but then this thread would get deleted.

[JoeKv99]

Taz already said the forbidden word.

[LizzieCurry]

Antonijan.

Whenever someone takes offense at an innocuous phrase and derails an entire thread into pages of arguing over semantics, that's Broadwayworld's golden age.

Whenever someone creates a post about whether or not colorblind casting is appropriate, that's Broadwayworld's golden age.

Whenever the same troll creates a new username to create a voice of support for himself, that's Broadwayworld's golden age.

Whenever the topic "does popularity equal quality?" gets discussed, that's Broadwayworld's golden age.

Kad. I will always love you.

And that's Broadwayworld's golden age.

From Winston's appearance to do a BWW roundup right through 'deer,' there were some good, good times.

[darquegk]

What was Deer? I've heard "deer" alluded to several times but never within context- it was just some infamous moment or character that everyone seems to have agreed to never speak of again.

[FindingNamo]

How could I have forgotten Izzy's baby? There were posts during that where my laughter came out like screams and tears were streaming down my face.

[blaxx]

Who cares about the deer if my boyfriend survived?

Izzy's baby = classic.

[JoeKv99]

There was a thread about a deer being killed and her husband joined the board under the name "Angry Deer" and caused havoc for a week or so until he got unceremoniously banned. For a long while after any mention of Angry Deer (or Carol, the deceased) got a thread deleted.


Good times.

[GlindatheGood22]

I think I joined a little bit after the Izzy's Baby thing. What was it again? Some poster made up a pregnancy or something?

[blaxx]

Yes. Sadly, she didn't know how to count properly to make up a good lie. Fortunately, she put it up on the internet!

[Gothampc]

We can never go back to before.

[tazber]

Yes, Izzy's Baby was classic.

While technically not originating on BWW, Corine's interview with John Kander was....unique.

And it was discussed on here so I'll toss it in the mix.

[SonofRobbieJ]

Oh GOD!!! Izzy's Baby! That was marvelous. Just marvelous.

The iguana was here...right? Not Broadway.com?
