WARNING!!!!

Hey guys,
I know just about every point has been beaten to death, but an actor (not in that show) at Universal I feel I must add my 2 cents. First, everyone has their own tolerence level. I love South Park, but aren't big on the Mr. Hanky episodes . . .doesn't make me a prude. Leia mistakenly thought that the Make-up show was going to be instructional, but in reality it is a scripted show performed by Actors (NOT real make-up men) who have to do the 20 minute show several times a day, four (or more) days a week. By the very nature of that mistake she was already going to be disappointed.

While this is not an excuse, boredom lends itself to goofing off and sometimes we (actors)make the mistake of entertaining each other, and not the audience. The couple that left shouldn't have been mocked if they did sneak out quietly as reported, but if they were in any way distracting . . the actor will usually call attention to it because everyone else knows what's going on. Shows are always changable due to the wild card of the audience's energy . . .you may sense the audience is not enjoying themselves and in the frantic attempt to win them back, you overcompensate and alienate them further. That's what makes theatre live . . .

Thanks to those of you who supported the show, and thanks to those of you honest enough to say it wasn't what they expected. That's why there's chocolate and Vanilla . . .different tastes.

And by the way, the duck juice joke was always kinda gross to me too . . .

Since it was brought back up, we went to see it last week. Thought it was very funny. All the kids in the audience were laughing including ours.

Wow! I can't believe this topic is back! Who knew it would be so controversial. I would just like to reply to one post I read. The people did not whisper and they were not drawing attention to themselves in any way. I was sitting in the back row so I could see the whole theater and I didn't notice them leaving until the actor said something. And by the time the actor said something they were almost out the door anyway! But noooooo... he has to stop and make fun of them. It just made me wonder if there was ever another time that we were in the park and an employee made fun of us in front of other guests without us knowing about it... hmmm..... And obviously they can't please everyone. That is why I made the post in the first place! So that those who don't like that kind of humor could avoid this show and not have any unpleasant memories! I never said anything about everyone having to agree with me... And it was not a waste of $42. I already said numerous times that I enjoyed the rest of the park, did I not? <IMG SRC="/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif" alt="confused"> I hope all of you who are going soon will have a grrrreeeaaattt time! Happy vacationing!

"The magic is as wide
as a smile and as
narrow as a wink, loud
as laughter and quiet
as a tear, tall as a tale
and deep as emotion.
So strong, it can lift the
spirit. So gentle, it can
touch the heart. It is the
magic that begins the
happily ever after."
THAT is Disney! ;-)

Although I saw noboby walk out in our recent trip I did see two two yound Asian ladies used as the butt of their jokes after their diffuculty with English was discovered. I see this all the time in Comedy Clubs, so I was not shocked although I wouldn't have blamed the two ladies if they turned and left and complained. To the credit of the actors, I felt they didn't go too far and I do believe they would have backed off it the reaction was negative, but the crowd and the ladies seemed to be enjoying it.

In response to the actors who said folks should not walk out. If you suck you suck and walking out is a perfect way to show it. If I paid my money and am willing to walk out, then that is my business and I am not being rude to anybody except maybe those I have to displace by moving. This actually happened a few months back in the Pocohantas show in the AK, they only thing that kept me from walking was knowing that the show was short and I didn't need to try and get out with only ten minutes left. If this had been a longer show I would have bolted because there are other things to do with my well spent money in the park to not waste time in a bad show.

I hope you realize that just because you don't enjoy or appreciate a performance does not mean it "sucks". It may mean your taste runs to other types of entertainment but it does not give you the right to be rude. I'm sure all of the performer's are doing the best with the material they are given to work with. Remember, one man's Battlefield Earth may be another man's Shakespeare.

I have just ploughed through all the replies to this with interest. We didn't get to visit this attraction when we were there last year 'cause we just didn't have time but it has intrigued me enough to want to go to it when I go in March. One question, I have two children, 10 and 8. Will they be able to go in if its PG13 (is that just a recommendation) or should I not take them in?

Shirley,

You can take your kids in the show. My son was 10 the first time he saw it. We've seen it twice and it was funny each time.

Have fun!

Our kids are 14 & 11. The jokes they do are quick and alot of them go over kids heads. Its the show and the funny things that happen that kids laugh about.

Well said, I guess it is possible somebody liked that Pocohantas show, and saying it sucks would be my opinion. Be aware that I was trying to give my opinion and not a review of the show. If I were to review the show however, I would say it's not worth your time unless you have seen everything else and have nothing better to do.
