"I saw her in Grease and she ostentatiously half-assed it, did the whole show with a dramatically bored look on her face. I don't remember the details, but didn't she have some sort of public dispute or falling out involving the show? At the time, I attributed her terrible performance as her petty way of getting back at whoever she was beefing with. "
She wasn't very good in GREASE, but I've worked with/am friendly with several people who worked with her on that show, and they've all said nice things about her.
I don't think people are all that interested in Rosie anymore. It's not 1997, ya know.

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Pinto, We guys can handle Rosie. We have. We have seen her, actually sat through seeing her perform on stage. Have you? If not, please explain the support for your thought that she would be great. The fact that some people find the way she is "outspoken" to be grating, and that virtually everyone who has worked with her finds her obnoxious as a co-worker, does not color the reasons being given here for not casting her in a Broadway show. Even if you think that her singing voice qualifies her for something more than the Pennysaver Amphitheater, you would need hallucinogens to think she can dance, and until you see how thoroughly she fails at embracing the character she has been cast to play, you really cannot speak to her acting ability. Regarding you (and, after all,it is all about you, isn't it?) no one here can't handle you. Some people have handled you by blocking you (the way one might block mosquitoes with a spray) and others have just called you out when you have said things that are wrong or unsubstantiated. Like this.
Pinto is (maybe) 15 years old. He's only ever seen her on stage in videos. But luckily he has so many friends who have worked with her since he's very much in the know and so well connected.
Hey! No need to throw the Pennysaver Amphitheater under the bus over this!

oh my gosh Hogan, chill out. I think Rosie is funny, and would be great in something if she were properly cast. Plus she loves theatre, and i think she would do a great job!!

I'm funny and I love theater. That doesn't mean I belong on a Broadway stage.
Pinto, being funny is a reason to do standup. And you still haven't answered the question-on what basis do you conclude she will be great? She has never evinced an ability to act above the community theatre level.
