Profile for Mrtrobz

Word on the grapevine is that they are looking at doing the same thing they did with Emma Watson on Beauty and the Beast. She was originally attatched to Warner Bros Beauty and the Beast and left to join Disney's.

 

Chloe Moretz is currently being rumored to join this one as Ariel.

Audra enchanted me, I dunno if it was her characters look or her screen presence but she was so drawing and captivating. The musical numbers where all quite dull to be honest. Where was this amazing choreography we heard about for Be Our Guest, that was very small scale considering the hype. I liked Belle, Gaston and the Mob Song they were staged well and energetic.

Unfortunately every new song they added to the film were staged terribly and added absolutely nothing to the plot. T

I feel like Emma's weakest moments are singing lower notes, when she sings her higher notes she seems to sing surprisingly strong I am theorizing her voice is suited to more soprano than Mezzo. She sounds lovely though I wouldn't mind hearing her sing in other musicals preferably without the reverb.

I'm pretty sure that isn't Ariana and John singing. The credit song they're singing isn't Beauty and the Beast. They're singing Our song lives on the new song written for the film. This was confirmed ages ago in the E! Magazine article.

I thought they'd of went with Zayn Malik or someone younger. 

Does anyone else think this clip didn't sound like a final sound mixing. I don't know what it was but it seems like the tracks weren't final or polished. I noticed during the promotion for Les Miserable they had a similar sound in terms of promotion like the music track was overly low compared to the vocal one.

Kind of reminds me of Emily Blunt's singing voice in Into the Woods. She sounds good but I don't like that she doesn't carry out the "see" at the end. 

Dick Van Dyke confirmed he'll be cameoing as the Old Banker, also Julie Andrew is also going to cameo and he also spilled that Angela Lansbury will be in it.

Chicago, Oliver! and Little Shop are great examples. I feel like Wicked is going to be something special just because they've worked on it for so long. Then again I thought that about Les Miserables and didn't like it much.

I think this will be a similar Oscars season to when Chicago released and it has a real shot of some major musical film nominations, my only problem in the film is that it's a musical but Emma Stone can't really sing, her voice is far too breathy and light for musical theatre and jazz, I guess it fits in terms of the film but she has this high airy voice most of the time (aside from the audition scene where she is surprisingly strong in its midsection and this is perhaps crucial to the plot)

that production blew my mind with how fantastic the live camera work was. yes a little joyless but still a very good production (plus Julian Ovenden singing anything is a joy)

I think Little shop is good for opening itself up to Star names because the singing range doesn't have to be as spectacular as most shows aside from the Urchins. I can literally think of any number of actresses who could play Audrey. Kristen Bell would be great, Christopher Walken could actually for for Mushnik too.

I think for Bye, bye birdie they should use The Wiz approach without the running to different locations and just have changing stage sets but add a live audience so we get genuine reaction, good camera work and the performers can preserve their energy. Not that this wasn't heaps of fun but it wasn't without its flaws either.

I'm pretty impressed with Dove apparently she only attended a handful of rehearsals because she was filming something else. She's doing great.
