more like "hate the spelling"
And what kind of blatent disregard for the established rules of the English language does
your screen-name reflect?:tsktsk: It's all about a hip,fresh new image. I'm gonna be a role model soon so my meticulous spelling habits must be reformed just like my wardrobe so that I can seem to identify with today's youth.

I might have believed it wasn't an April fools prank if you hadn't mentioned Tom Cruise. If it is on the level I would have left that part out. Just sayin

Probably the most valid point. Cruise doesn't do theatre.
Julia Roberts has never done a play before in her life. She's currently starring on Broadway in a pre-sold out run of "Three Days of Rain".
I was a bit surprised too at first that Lars chose Tom but this isn't mere stunt casting. Mr. Cruise will be playing Menelaus who, in play after play, Euripides paints as an egotistical, despicable, know it all bully whose commotion over a worthless, vapid trophy wife is responsible for the decay and ruin of society.
And if you're doubting that we could draw this kind of star power to work here, check this out: we just recently closed a show starring these living legends- two time Tony award winning actress Elizabeth Franz AND Academy Award winner Haley "That Darn Cat!" Mills!!! That's right, HALEY MuthaFuckin' MILLS.

....and we are talking about Cleveland! The river that runs through it catches on fire.
Actually, we aren't talking about Cleveland. You apparently didn't read anything but the first post. If you had you'd know that it's a vital and major theatre city. Highly original put-down there, potassium boy, but you're nearly 40 years out of date: the river hasn't caught on fire since 1969 and the fact that it did, benefitted the rest of the country immeasurably since it led to the formation of the EPA.
It's admittedly tough to refute such iron-clad arguments as a river's possible flammability having a qualitative effect on its city's performing arts community; but that's the cross I bear.
Then again, perhaps not. It didn't stop my co-star Sir Ian from acting in Cleveland twenty years after the incident.
Thanks for the compliment, Paz! It means a lot coming from a fellow true connoisseur. As I've said, though, I'm not joking about the existence of this list.

Fuck that noise.
FDM was all about the tense interplay between Tracy "Hot!" Nelson and David the Gnome.
Everything else was periphery.
