One question that's been on my mind for years: Has the cat who gets chosen to go to the Heavyside Layer (Grizabella) expended all of his or her nine lives and so then goes into permanent retirement, never to be seen again? And what happens to the other cats who are not chosen? Or is the Heavyside Layer a regenerative limbo between each of a cat's nine lives? Why is the Heavyside Layer a desirable place to be?

To me, personally, it is. The standard for realistic effects in sci-fi or fantasy films is very high these days. One of the most important parts of sci-fi, both in written and film/television form, is world-building. There has to be a plausible explanation for the laws of the universe in which the charact

They should have done that here, because these heads look like normal human heads without ears which is one of the reason they look so bizarre.
And they should have used makeup to make the faces look like cat faces. At the very least they could have drawn a

I completely agree with this, and this is my main issue with the trailer. The perspective is all over the place, and this is a perfect example.

There have been several articles snd interviews with Page where he talks about it and Murin has been open on social media. They are only two I can think of but I’m sure there are more. If you Google both you will find lots of info. "

The lyrics remind me so much of “This Is Me.” I had high hopes, but to me it just sounds like another “Never gonna cut me down! Can’t silence me! Gonna March to the beat of my own drum!” ballad with a pop beat. I appreciate the idea of a bolder, resistant Jasmine... but I wish it were more thoughtful. Really I wish Howard Ashman were still around
Quite a few suggestions on here I hadn't thought of before but now would love to see! (I second Moonstruck, Babette's Feast, She Devil, Miss Congeniality, Hocus Pocus, and Dorian Gray (although there's not much of a plot there).
In "Waitress," Old Joe calls out Jenna about hiding her pregnancy. He can tell by looking at her that she's pregnant, letting her know he's seen that look on a woman's face. He says something like, "I've seen that look on a woman's face before. Name was Annette. I made sweet love to her all through the summer of 1948. She got that sick look on her face like you had all through the fall. I almost married her right up. She lost the baby, though.&quo

I don't understand the design choice to make the cats CGI motion capture. Why not just wear costumes and makeup? This sort of thing always takes me out of the moment because of the uncannines. All throughout Beauty and the Beast, I was so distracted by Beast's appearance, it was difficult to be fully invested in his scenes. Does CGI ultimately read better than people in costumes?
I feel like when they make "live" action versions of these things, we end up with so much cig that it defea
Sometimes I hear song from a musical that reminds me so much of another song. This morning on Sirius XM's Broadway channel, I heard for the first time the song "Doctor's Orders" from "Catch Me if You Can." It struck me as very similar to the number "Do Me a Favor" from the original "Carrie" musical:
Since they've dropped "Hindi Sad Diamonds" as the show-within-a-show, how does the replacement number compare? That sequence was so awesome in the film.

I think you're both right. To me, the reason it works so well is because it's working on those two levels. It's dramatic irony at its best. <

Both of your restaurantchoices are excellent.
When heading from the Loop north to Belmont, you may takethe red or brown line train. The red line is a subway for about 5 or 6 stops, then above ground as an el for 2 stops. The brown line is all el, and offers better scenery - such as when the train crosses the Chicago Riveran
We have tickets to this in a few weeks. We're driving from Kentucky and will be staying in the theatre district near the theater. Can anyone help with some information?
1. What's the current running time for the show?
2. We looked up a couple of restaurants nearby, Petterinos and The Dearborn. Any feedback on either of these for a pre-show dinner?
3. Any sightseeing must-sees while we're in town? We were thinking of taking the train to Boystown one evening. We
"We don’t know how Marilyn Monroe got her white dress to fly up like that in “The Seven Year Itch.” No matter how hard we try, we always end up flashing oncoming traffic, or even worse losing our dresses all together. Well, hopefully when Marilyn! The New Musical comes to Vegas, we can learn a thing or two, and finally get it right.
