Some artsy weirdos made a musical about the 1994 saga of Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan — just as timely and necessary as the Rent movie! — and Tonya attended the opening. Yawn.
While the catchy musical had mixed reviews, the show won big props from skating hellcat Tonya Harding on opening night…
“And you know what? She was wonderful,” said [author Elizabeth] Searle. “We saw the best side of her. She was generous and funny and focused her attention on the show. People in the audience said she was laughing, and then at the end, she led the standing ovation.”
I did a musical homage similar to this once. I went to a performance of Cats and attacked the actors with a baton. I'm sorry, but I had to find out if they'd say, "Ow ow ow oooohhh ah that hurts!" or if they'd stay in character and howl in pain like a cat. My findings: need more data. I've got tickets to next Sunday's matinee.

Yes (to the cat)
Did the actress that played Tonya tape down her breasts and wear thirteen pairs of sweat pants to make her ass look big and clunky?
I always thought Nancy K was sexy as hell when she cried and screamed "WHY?" at the top of her lungs. It reminded me of prom night.
Am I right fellas?
Fellas?…
We saw the best side of her
Which side is that? It's not the back or frontside, that's for sure. Cause, well, I'm pretty sure she is round anyways and doesn't have any 'sides' per-say. The not-plotting a crime on national television side?
When I was 19 years old cats came to my town. I couldn't wait to see it. After the show I was asked if I wanted to go meet some of the performers backstage. Man, I was thrilled. But when I got back there, they were drunk and out of control. Rumpus Cat and Macavity kept feeling up my leg. I tried to leave, but, Rumpleteazer held me down, and… I was raped by Mr. Mistoffelees.
We saw the best side of her
Would that be the side not covered in gravy?
the role of nancy kerrigan will played by: a) post 2007 playoff loss Ladanian Tomlinson; b) post 2008 playoff loss Terrell Owens; or c) Joe Theisman.
call & place your vote now!

Not true, swany. Cottage cheese has many sides.
I'll go with d) Brett Favre. It's not like he's got shit else to do
Tonya would be better in the play "The Aristocrats".
I don't consider this an accurate portrayal unless we see Jeff Gilooly's dong.
@Hugh:
No. In fact, the opposite
/mmm, delicious gravy!
