The queens of disco doing it still after all these years. :cool:
They sure are. I saw the dreadful Donna Summer broadway show and the music kept us from walking out... and no intermission!
Yeah I heard it was bad too. Wasn't Donna at one point supposed to be the producer and writer behind the Broadway play? I read somewhere she was going to use her life story as one. Looks like they only did a half assed job with it.Quote:

Not sure. Her husband was technical consultant so that may account for some of sanitizing the story, what there was of it.
Ugh Bruce... he was a great collaborator with Donna but someone should've told him not to put his stamp on it.Quote:

From what I read in the NY area papers it's been doing fairly well, particularly with a 'girl's night out' crowd.Quote:

The show is unlikely to last much longer. 65% is not profitable, especially since most tickets are sold the same day at half-price.
It’s toast. It’ll never see Labor Day. It must be losing money being heavily st TKTS so soon.Quote:
