Lolz. Yeah, none of that is true, it was a global sensation for a reason and did, in fact, have a dee

Honestly, no offense to Nicole, but I hope she doesn't win a Tony for this. You have to do more than sing well to deserve a Tony and her performance here is far from clever or interesting.

She's a good singer, sure, fine, but this show hasn't exactly pushed her to do more than act like a Diva and take her sweet time delivering the tunes. The weird modern touches don't help the fact that this is supposed to be a period piece. It just doesn't work.

Your original comment/post has the dashed off rhythm and tone of a troll-like post. Had your criticisms been expressed in the more measured and thought-out manner of your subsequent posts, you might have initially received a different response.

I have to agree with you here. I thought the lead performances were incredibly tame compared to how sparkling and alive the roles are played on Broadway. Andbefore anyonewants to fight me on this and say it’s a movie, it is still a Broadway musical, and I wish it had more of that Broadway quality in its leads

What are people crying about? How is this movie touching people??

It isn't a trainwreck or anything, but it's hardly Oscar worthy.
