To ggersten: Bugger, I missed out on that one 'cause "You Gotta Get A Gimmick" wasn't listed in the title or description. I may have to create a sequel. Do you know if this is available on DVD so that I can rip a better quality version?
To everyone else: Thanks for the kind words. I'll retitle it a Super Cut on your advice.
I made a mashup of "You Gotta Get A Gimmick" from GYPSY. Please take a few minutes to enjoy it.

When the person holding the newspaper reveals his identity and says, "You're doing great!", who is he meant to be? Some famous reviewer? It gets a huge laugh on YouTube, and as I'm Australian, the reference is lost on me.

I've seen WICKED on Broadway and in Melbourne and Sydney, and each time I thought "Defying Gravity" was a really emotional and spectacular set piece.
Some friends of mine saw it on Broadway when Elpheba stayed grounded, and they did not realise she was meant to fly.

Ok, what's the 4-1-1 on ELF? My friend said it was terrible. Now I have to question his judgement. Is it good or not?

OK, I watched the film again today. Someone very kindly burned a copy onto DVD for me from his laserdisc copy. However, the quality isn't great - it was like watching VHS on my 50 inch plasma.
So.........
With the film's 20th anniversary next year, why, oh why isn't there at least a bare bones DVD???

My partner and I came all the way from Sydney to see this show last October, and we were so glad we did. We loved every second of it. We met almost all the cast afterward and got their autographs on the show poster. I'm saddened the show isn't running at least a year but at least there's a cast recording to relive it by.

You are lucky to have it, Ozeedancer. The version I downloaded from the link given here is too soft to watch on my 50 inch plasma, but it's ok on my iMac if I keep the window small. I can only hope it gets released on DVD sooner rather than later.
If Victor Garber HAD performed the role on Broadway, would this have been the first time an actor created a film role and THEN the Broadway role? Or has it happened before?
There are lots of instances where an actor originated a role on Broadway, then got to reprise it in a film. But are there any examples in reverse?

Can someone please tell me what "stock" means. I'm presently reading "The Oxford Companion to the American Musical: Theatre, Film, and Television" and there are constant references to actors performing in "stock", but I can't find anywhere in the book what it means.

Thank you so much, BrodyFosse123. I will download it and watch it on my iMac. I don't the quality is good enough to blow it up onto my 50 inch plasma. And in the meantime, I will wait patiently for it to arrive on DVD...........
Not true. I saw Aida, Hair and South Pacific during a recent trip to Manhattan and I had to juggle all 3 to make sure I could see Finian's Rainbow just because I wanted to see Cheyenne. The fact that the everything about the show is sublime turned out to be a bonus.
How was the quality of the film after you downloaded it, please?

I so appreciate you doing this -- I'll wait to hear from you about the verdict. I've only ever seen this film on video, since its cinematic release in Sydney lasted 2 weeks. It's never been on Australian television.

You are too kind for finding this for me. I've joined but before I pay to download, are you able to tell me if the download is better quality than what I watch for free? Thanks for all your help so far.

Because this film has so many tap dance scenes, it really needs to be seen in its correct aspect ratio. Half the film is missing on VHS.
If you love films by Lewis Gilbert (Education Rita, Shirley Valentine), or if you love feel-good films, you will love this film.

There have been lots of flops prior to home video popularity which have been released on DVD --
Ishtar Can't Stop The Music Head (The Monkees) Heaven's Gate Howard The Duck
and all of them are available on DVD.
If anyone has ANY information about this film's potential release, I'd be extremely grateful.
