Netflix's THE PROM official thread/reviews/reactions Dec 14
2020, 07:02:35 PM
i thought i really was not going to like Ryan Murphy's THE PROM...BUT I WAS WRONG...it was a perfectly sweet and charming movie of the Broadway show...and i was surprised how emotional i got while watch this tale of high school horrors...BTW i thought ALL the performances were enjoyable, with those ranging from over the top...(Streep, Corden), to the more sublime Ann Reinking Has Passed Away Dec 14

Horribly sad news on what was to be a great day for the USA...(trump lost)...i got to see Ms. Reinking, when the brilliant revival of CHICAGO toured Los Angeles...and of course LOVED her in the brilliant movie ALL THE JAZZ...2020 sucks in so many sad ways!!

Sad news indeed...i loved Diana in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC...she was a perfect Charlotte...the very best thing in this sad movie of Sondheim's great Broadway musical...i do wish i had seen her live on stage..that must have been a thrill indeed...R.I.P

Imelda Staunton in GYPSY is streaming for free Sep 11
2020, 11:24:40 AM
i've seen 4 versions of GYPSY...Angela Lansbury live...Imelda and Bette on tv...and of course the Roz Russell film...I LOVE ROZ as Mama Rose...but she couldn't sing the score well enough...i loved Bette, even though she did seem manic in her own way sometimes...I HATED IMELDA as Rose...she was hyped-up on drugs it seemed, for the whole musical...lastly, i LOVED seeing Angela as Rose live on stage...a true stage star playing the greatest role written for a woman in a musical...

A Little Night Music could use a remake film Aug 20
2020, 03:19:32 PM
OH MY YES!!!...the most perfect of Sondheim musicals...book score sets acting...needs a more perfect movie...maybe Sondheim can use one of the songs from his yet unfinished musical as new material...i love Julie Andrews and Cate Blanchett...OSCARS all around...

Agreed with everyone here...very well done and so emotional...my partner at the time and i saw LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS when it played the Orpheum Theatre in the early 1980's...and LOVED the movie version as well...my partner Dan passed in 1990, so this brought back many painful memories of that time, but also some very wonderful memories...and i do remember first time seeing BEAUTY AND THE BEAST on film and thinking that opening number BELLE was a Broadway musical...

Follies 1971 - Official Movie Jul 23

The first thing that struck me, oddly enough, is obvious realization that - for all its flights of fancy in the "Loveland" portion of the show - it's set in the present day for audiences seeing it in 1971. But the "feel" of the show is so different from, say, something like Company - Sondheim's previous show that was still running at the time.. The characters are much older, reminiscing and caught in the past. Audiences who saw
