Everybody say it with me: UGH.

I started watching the French production on YouTube, and adored what I saw, but sadly the user only uploaded the the first part.

I hope they don't tone it down for Broadway, and that the spectacle and delicious decadence remains. From the clips I saw the French production was truly sensational.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. The French "spectacles" are distinctly European, all glitz and glamour - and no-one sings live if I remember rightly. I'm not that familiar with Mozart, but I do have a fondness for Le Roi Soleil, the previous show by the same creative team.

Truth be told, I'd rather you got the Austrian Mozart! musical, with its weird-ass concept of the child Mozart on stage at all times representing the horrific muse that compels Mozart to write music, including writing music in his own blood...

Whatever happened to this?

I liked the clip I saw when they originally announced an Broadway production.

I will only see Mozart if he guts a fish ala Hugh Jackman.

You can watch the whole thing on Youtube, if you know French.

I thought this was about the Levay/Kunze "Mozart!" They wrote Rebecca and Elisabeth.

I will tell my wife about this as she speaks French

I'm probably too big a fan of the Austrian version to embrace this fully. Drew Sarich singing 'Wie wird man seinen Schatten los?' (How do I lose his shadow?) Legendary number.
