First of all I’m reserving my judgement on the singing until I hear the finished recordings. Secondly I don’t find the overuse of footage too annoying. As long as Part 1 is worth the wait, that’s what matters.

Musical Master said: "Can't wait to finally watch it.Honestly, this is the first time since West Side Story 2021 where I'm highly anticipating a film adaptation of a Broadway musical.

Does anyone remember in 2021 when Paramount announced they were developing a remake of The King & I? I still hope it happens because of the possibilities of proper Asian representation and how important the story is.

I was looking forward to how Bill Condon was going to handle the material. But Rob Marshall will do. Since he CAN direct and choreograph. I mean Annie 1999, Chicago, Mary Poppins Returns. Please be a good cast
