My opinion of last night (which I'm not bothering to put on Sludge since 8 million people are saying the same thing):

The band sounded pretty good. Traci looked & sounded great! Nikki's starting to show his age, but he doesn't look pathetic like Gene & Paul, so it's okay. But London man, that was brutal! He sounds okay on the recorded tracks, but live was not pretty. Not pretty at all. And it's so disappointing since they had Crabby and he's such a great singer. I know they want to try someone new, but I just don't think it's a good thing.

And what is "Shut the Uhh Up" exactly?? It would have been fine as "Shut the F Up" or "Shut the Hell Up" or even "Shut the Heck Up." But what London sang just sounded lame ass. I bet if it had been before Nipplegate, they could have done the song as is and NBC would have just beeped it. But since everyone is so freaked out about the FCC now, I'm sure there was no way they would have allowed that now. That's a shame, because that's how it should have been done.

All in all, it wasn't very inspiring.

"Hate to be the bearer of bad tidings...
Though it's good news for Hugh and the hard-working cast of BFO, for whom time off is precious; however, it's bound to put a crimp in the plans of many JL readers. More cancelled dates for The Boy From Oz have been announced, as follows: The closure at the end of March has been extended through April 4th, including a previously added evening show that Sunday. Several summer dates have been cancelled, including the 4th of July and a series of Tuesdays: June 15, July 6 and 20 and August 3.
If you need a refund or would like to exchange your tickets for another date, contact Telecharge at (212) 239-2969 or (800) 543-4835."

This almost gave me a panic attack! Jess & I were almost going to go to that August 3rd show, but decided to get tickets for August 1st instead. I honestly would have started crying at my desk if our Boy From Oz performance was cancelled! As it is, I'm already petrified that we'll get all the way out there and it'll be the one day in the whole run of the show that Hugh is sick. *must think good thoughts*
