EvenSweeney Todd(my favorite musical, obviously) was not well-known outside the theatre worlduntil the Tim Burton film put it in the national consciousness."

Well, as a counterpoint... Nine didn't exactly uplift the musical very much."

Nine was also a pretty lousy movie, so there wasn't enough positive buzz to get audiences to see it despite the absurdly starry cast.

As a pophead-in-residence JLo's popularity cannot be tied to her music career as its never really been as successful as people think with many many ups and downs that have done almost nothing to effect her stardom. Her getting this movie off the ground isn't that shocking to me as her movies fairly consistently make money or in the streaming era, bring in the eyeballs. Not huge profits but tidy little sums that are more than off for the people producing them. Which is often her. She made that movie with 20 million dollars of her own funds and allegedly sold it to Amazon for 50 so bomb or not, it made her 30 million dollars.

Remember, Rob Marshall was assistant choreographer on the original Bway show. Vanessa Williams even talks extensively about how he helped mold her amazing performance as Chita’s first replacement. He might have already served his time with Spider Woman.

Dylis clearly states she was her dance STAND IN not double. A dance stand in rehearses with the ensemble to save time while the lead rehearses separately with the choreographer and dance assistant. Huge difference from being a dance double.

That was a quick shoot for a movie-musical! (If the entire production has indeed wrapped, and not just the portions that involved Dylis)

Just got word that principal photography on the dance numbers has wrapped and filming begins on Monday for the rest of the film, including other musical numbers.

Just curious, are they filming on a stage sound in NYC?

The film is being shot on several sound stages at 10 Basin Studios in New Jersey.

Quite a number of recognizable Broadway chorus boys were involved in the dance numbers, including Max Clayton, per social media.

Oooo. On which social media platform? Was scrolling through Max Clayton’s instagram and could not find anything.

Various folks were posting images to their IG stories while on set so I don’t think anything remains up.
