I am not a fan of the stage show but "Endless Night," "Shadowland," and "He Lives in You" are fantastic additions to the score and not including them was a mistake."
amen
I know it would NEVER happen, but how great it would be if there was an &
Its just plain odd looking, and can easily be fixed (but probably $$$)
you can see that the cats with clothes look fine: Macavity, Mistofoles, Skimble to some extent, even Old Deuteronomy. and the reason for this is proportions. I think for me why Bombalurina, Munkistrap and Jennyanydots look so weird is they all come off as top heavy in the chest area (not boobs, but chest generally) and small in the head area because the ears are so small and up high (where they should be), if you th
Mind you, it is interesting that they are trying to give it a plot by focusing the action around victoria, the white cat, a minor character from the show, in that its like her first time at the jellicle ball so they are showing her what goes on
now seeing this, im a fan of the show so atleast i will have a nice new soundtrack to listen to.
this looks so weird, and is all the things i worried about, basically human forms and cat features. it makes you appreciate the stage costumes alot more. I will still go see it for sure but I might go high.
Just got back from seeing the movie, and its a good movie, not quite shot for shot but most of the iconic shots are there. The dialogue is very different aswell, and because I am a fan of she stage version, its always odd to think you are following on with the dialogue and all of a sudden its totally different. but it was enjoyable except for 2 minor things. for some reason the audio level was very low compared to the trailers that came before, but that might be an issue with my cinema, also
because its only July I am not expecting much other than some music and basic/generic imagery. surely the film is still being worked on with the heavy CGI elements.

I agree with this, I've seen some Grizabellas with lack luster vocals and personally I think
And while I'm on it, yes i did not expect there to be anything new in terms of songs for the movie, but to do the backing almost the EXACT same as the original as well as the songs seems to me to be a wasted opportunity to expand the score. Yes it is majestic at times but they could have done like the show and added in more sounds to make it fit in with its environment better.

If they were going to use the original backing track for "Circle of Life" then why not use the original vocals as well? The new singer can't hold a candle to the '94 vocalist (who's name escapes me). "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" is ok, but like everything else here it lacks energy. "Be Prepared" flat out sucks. It's two min

apparently motion capture in that they are adding the fur and i assume altering the faces to be more catlike? (cringe) but atleast they are keeping the human form and proportions therefore the dance element will

We already have a filmed version with people in leotards; do we really need a second one?"
yes the opening projection is perhaps the biggest change, the thing about projection on the fabric at the end of act 1, that i believe has always been there, but you can't always see it clearly.
the 2 theatres in relation to each other are backwards in that the Marquis's stage backs onto times sq. the Minskoff's stage is inside the tower and their house backs onto times sq.
looking at cross sections of both, they are all pretty much above street level so not sure why it flooded, I am assuming it might be something to do with sprinklers going off?
I guess for me one of the highlights of the stage version is the use of African chants as actual songs and not just background chants you have to strain your ears to hear. I would have hoped they would have included more of this in the mew soundtrack/movie, but no such luck.

Great is subjective but I’d say no. The set is what truly makes the experience for me personally

I guess this is an interesting point, but for me I am from the era where I want big splashy sets, to me that IS theatre, to be transformed into another world, (particularly when th
I cant wait, should be today, I guess its a matter of what time.
there was a short clip of Circle of Life that is sung by long time London Rafiki (but I was a bit bummed out that they sung it in the lower original movie key which does not do her amazing voice justice)
and IMHO, Spirit is no Shadowland, just saying.

aside from something new, what roles currently available can he take on (other than going back in Chicago again and of course Phantom)?
Im not being snarky, i genuinely want other opinions.
I's so OCD that this would bug me, i'd still go, but parts would bug me, ive seen some postings on instagram, but the phantom things tingle my OCDs, like its in NYC but they have a wall of masks that are obviously "London" masks, and having Christine in the boat in her wedding dress just rubs me the wrong way, lol.
But glad that something is there, one would have thought there would be a 'broadway' section that is bigger than (last time i went an
