is it possible to write someone (who) and ask for some type of refund for a bad show? saw Evita and was horrified by Elana Rogers' performance! Could barely understand her spoken lines, and the vocals were inhuman! So nasal and shrill. I LOVE the show and have many years of musical theater experience, and for this being on Broadway?, someone needs to be very ashamed of their casting choice. Who do I write to to get some type of recourse?
Poor Elana Rogers! I hope your years of experience can teach Elana a lesson.

serious post? Hell yes Racist? NO! The tix were a gift, if I had read reviews I would have had second thoughts about tix! Read the post by muscle23ftl... Christina DeCicco as Eva Peron HE AGREES!!! "Elena Roger ruined the show for me, she couldn't hit the notes, I could barely understand her, her acting and dancing skills were very poor. I felt personally ashamed when Rachel Potter sang her number, and outsang Roger x100.
I truly recommend anyone who didn't get to see Christina in this show, to re-visit this great musical."
You were given the tickets as a gift and you want the money back for them?

Ikqdrum, there are just as many people who are fans of Elena's. It's a matter of taste. No, you can't get a refund because you didn't like an actor in a show. I don't know why you even have to ask this, it seems pretty obvious to me.
"is it possible to write someone (who) and ask for some type of refund for a bad show?"
NOPE. It's important to educate yourself as an audience member before you go to see a show. If the general consensus in reviews and word-of-mouth was that Ms. Roger was not up to par as Eva Peron, then perhaps you should have thought twice before going to see the show.
Also, the show is far more than just Ms. Roger's performance. She is one player in the production (even though she has more material than anyone else) but a show with a bad star could still be a good show.
if i get a gift certificate to a good steakhouse, and ive researched the fact that i DO like T-bone steak, and when i get it to eat and it sucks and i dont understand why it doesnt taste like meat... i should just eat it and not complain?
After getting the money back that someone else spent for you to eat there.

Because it's midnight, too cold to go outside and there's nothing good on tv.

But really: If you don't like the restaurant, don't go back. If you don't like the show, don't go back. Or, if you're afraid that you will have more experiences like this at Broadway shows, then stop going to the theater.
Your opinion is just one of many. If producers refunded tickets for everyone who complained about a bad performance, then they would make no money. Audience members could then just complain after an exceptional show (like Virginia Woolf or Death of a Salesman) and get refunded.
obviously the person who bought tix. WOW, ask a simple question, and have an opinion and the **** flies everywhere. so glad you all have smooth-running lives BRAVO
I'd see your point if Ms. Roger was a total incompetent who slobbered her way through the songs in a drunken rage and exposed herself in the process and showed up in only her bra for "Don't Cry For Me," but I doubt that's the case. I've seen things that I absolutely did not like at all just like most of us here have but stopped short of thinking MY enjoyment or lack thereof should warrant a refund. There's a difference between a badly performed, incompetent piece of crap that lured your dollars in via false advertising and subjectivity.
If I were to successfully demand a refund every time my subjective opinion warranted it, I'd have the life savings of a retiree.
