<p>alwaysamom, thanks for sharing. What a well-written piece. He mentions that some theatre performers have panned the performance in vitriolic fashion. That to me speaks volumes not so much about Carrie Underwood, but about any supposed professional who would make catty tweets or blog about how bad they thought another person’s performance was. Any actual person working in MT who would do that is in need of a lesson in how to conduct themselves as a professional. The internet is not a vacuum. tweets and blog posts live on, and on, and on…plus, it is just really bad form. Most actors take heed to that rule very early on in their careers. Some don’t I guess. That should be left to non-performers, but that’s not the world we live in. Carrie Underwood is a bona fide star who has chops and has done much in her career. I don’t even listen to her music, but I know that she has earned a reputation as a gracious, professional and hard working performer. I’m sure if the shoe was on the other foot, she wouldn’t be taking shots at someone else’s professional efforts.</p>
