what would you rather see?

[wonderful]

i'm just curious! given the choice --

1) a good show with no one you know/have even ever heard of/maybe some people you dont like in the cast

or

2) a really bad show with people you do like in the cast?

;D

I'd go with no. 1

I'd prefer a good show over a bad show with one good performer any day.

Example - I really enjoyed WWRY (where I knew none of the cast) and didn't like "The Producers" where there were couple of performers I knew and didn't think were too bad.

Knowing me, both

Definitely #1 - I love discovering new people, and I also love it when you know the story so well, but DON'T know the actors. Then it's more about the show overall than one or two people in it. And as for someone I'm not keen on being in the cast, I'd be happy to see them to give them another chance and hope I can grow to like them

It'd depend on who the people were as well, if I was thinking of seeing a 'bad' show. And how many of them were in the cast I would see something I'm not overly keen on for the good actors - who knows, you might end up enjoying it...even if you don't want to admit it

This raises an interesting point. I wasn't expecting much from Grease, but knew that Tamsin doing Worst Things would be worth seeing. It was. If I didn't think the show was going to have any redeeming values, I probably wouldn't go, but then if I really respected someone, I'd like to think they'd draw the line somewhere. But then, if they're going hungry.....

But as for preference, definately number one. Can anyone with a soul say otherwise?

By bad show, do you mean a show that is inherently bad, or a bad production of a show? I'd be willing to see a show that is inherently bad (to a degree. I'm still refusing to see Dirty Dancing) for some people, but only some, but I'd always be willing to see a good show. The problem is, often you don't know which it is until you turn up.
