CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 23 2019, 06:55:59 PM

The cockroaches and the mice with the baby faces were nightmare inducing.  I forgot to mention that in my post earlier. *shivers* 



Rebel Wilson - Broadway?  Dec 23 2019, 02:21:59 PM

I'm tired of her shtick.  She's not funny and she can't sing or dance well.  I'm all for giving people chances but she is going to HAVE to move on from what she does in every roll. 



CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 23 2019, 02:16:17 PM

Saw it Saturday night and I don't know if it's because I went in expecting to hate it, but in all honesty.......I didn't.  Was it great? No.  Was I bored in sections like I am with the stage show? Yes.  Did I regret seeing it?  Not at all.  I mean, it's "CATS."  What was everyone expecting? 

The Skimbleshanks number was my favorite and Jennifer Hudson........gurl.........I have NEVER EVER cried at "Memory" befor


Little Shop Cast Recording  Dec 20 2019, 02:38:16 PM

Just finished listening to it and my favorites are Christian Borle and Kingsley Legg with Groff sounding great.  I looooooooooooove the new orchestrations.   The only downside for me is the slower pace of "Skid Row (Downtown)" and Tammy Blanchard.  Like people have said, I am glad she is doing something differently from Ellen Greene but they could have gotten someone that could sing this part better.

No generation will every be dissecting this movie (except looking for the symptoms that lead to death), and no one will envy you your experience. It's like having bragging rights to seeing the film version of Song of Norway on opening weekend.

CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 19 2019, 06:35:31 PM

I don't care how low the score is on Rotten Tomatoes.......my butt is going to be in that movie theater for 3 reasons: 

1) Gotta support the movie musical

2) Who knows.......I may enjoy it in some fashion

3)  I can say I saw it opening weekend on the big screen years from now when the next generation of film buffs talk about and dissect this movie. 



CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 17 2019, 04:16:14 PM

The review embargo probably hasn't lifted yet.  I know "Rise of Skywalker" lifts tomorrow so maybe that is when "Cats" will too.  



CATS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 17 2019, 12:02:52 PM

I've seen quotes from people posted online from those that saw the premier and there are more positive ones than I thought there would be.  Although this one is my favorite that I found:

“Way too horny for its own good”

 



Favorite Stephen Sondheim Musical...  Dec 12 2019, 12:39:55 PM

Assassins and Company are my two favorites.  



The IN THE HEIGHTS Film Adaptation Thread  Dec 12 2019, 11:17:17 AM

This movie looks SO FREAKIN' good.  And yes, Miserent, I teared up when Olga Merediz sang. And I think it was great choice to go with a dancer like Jon Chu who knows how to film dancing scenes (even though they aren't the best movies, the dance scenes in the couple of "Step Up" movies he directed were amazing).  I will be there opening night and will be shaking from anticipation. 



This board in the old days  Nov 19 2019, 12:35:17 PM

SonofRobbieJ - I completely agree.  Even though I lived in S.C. at the time, and couldn't be a part of the meetups and all (although I did go to one), I felt like I had a personal connection with people on this board at one time.  We would message each other on here just to catch up on our daily lives and then friended each other on FB when that became a thing (and I'm still friends with a few people still on FB).  In fact, because of 2 BWWers, I was able to see my

This board in the old days  Nov 15 2019, 02:18:27 PM

I agree that at times things got WAY overheated and cruel but I miss the community feel it used to have.  I don't know if it was just because there was a smaller amount of us but I remember WANTING to jump on here to talk to people and read posts that would make me scream with laughter and have dialogue with others (mainly on the "off-topic" board).  It may be romanticized but I miss it. 



Bright star  Oct 11 2019, 09:21:19 AM

I saw the show on whim in NYC when my friends wanted to rush the matinee show of "Bright Star" before the evening performance of "Tuck Everlasting" that we were in the city to see.  I didn't even know what it was about and when I found out that it was bluegrass musical written by Steve Martin, I was not that excited.  But, then the houselights went down and I fell in love with everything about the show.   Side note - "Tuck Everlasting"

Girl From The North Country  Oct 9 2019, 10:46:25 AM

I love the cast recording SO Much and Sheila Atim's version of "Tight Connection to My Heart" makes me cry every time.   I really hope I get to see it one day. 



MOULIN ROUGE Cast Recording Out Today! - Thoughts  Aug 30 2019, 11:25:45 AM

Ok - now I just finished listening to it and I feel that I just need to listen to it a few more times because right now I can't get the movie out of my head to really enjoy it (curse of loving something that is adapted).   I like a lot of it but there are also things that I am not a fan of.  But, this is something I believe I will come to love ESPECIALLY if I see it.  



MOULIN ROUGE Cast Recording Out Today! - Thoughts  Aug 30 2019, 10:09:53 AM

CATSNYrevival- The “Elephant Love Medley” is a huge disappointment for me. I like the film version better. 

OMG, I agree.  The new songs and orchestrations don't flow well AT ALL.  The original was perfection and this is just like someone bumped the karaoke machine causing random songs to start playing.



Choreography award during a commercial break?  Jun 10 2019, 12:51:21 PM

Agreed.  If they didn't have the in-between skits and whatever they could have time to do those awards. 



Should SIX transfer?  May 8 2019, 02:12:34 PM

Kad said: "This really seems like a show that's more at home off-Broadway than on Broadway. Broadway is not the be-all, end all, or final destination for all shows."

^^^^^^

Agreed.  It did well for "Altar Boyz" and I think it would do well for this. 

 



Should SIX transfer?  May 8 2019, 01:59:09 PM

Overall I'm curious to see the show as a whole but I wasn't sold AT ALL from the live performance of the first song they did.   But, I love everything War of the Roses/Tudor Dynasty so I still want to see it.  But........I just hope it's not just belty pop songs with no substance.  



The Lion King live new trailer!  Apr 10 2019, 09:19:07 AM

Yeah, the end had me smiling.
