Jonathan Cohen said: "Nothing about the animal storylines makes any sense. I also didn't understand how the animals were losing the ability to speak. I get being silenced as a metaphor, but they were supposed to literally be losing the ability to speak and team Wizard is not actually good at magic.

Also, portrayingDoctor Dillamond as a literal goat was frustrating in context ofPeter Dinklage voicing the role.I get not wanting to castpeople with dwarfism as Munchkins. H

Well no Wes Anderson film made me feel emotional. But hey, I would love to see if his Into the Woods would have been any better.

I finally saw Wicked, and...I would accept Jon directing musicals that fit him and that he wanted to do. The movie was amazing, but I didn't cry. So...sure, he could do other musicals, and maybe he is the best. Maybe Wicked just would never make me cry. His ideas for how to sta

Let me preface by saying Wicked was my favorite musical. After seeing this, I think I prefer Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella. But, this review is coming from a HUGE Wicked fan.

I finally saw Wicked, and WOW. I did not expect it to be that well directed. Glinda came like a goddess out of the sky. The transition of fish and the water to her past self in Shiz. The way they did Elphaba’s hazy vision. The wa

Hm. I don't think I know enough about all the directors out there to pick the perfect ones for which specific musicals. I am seeing Wicked very soon, I should use that to determine if I think he'd be good for Follies or Next to Normal. I was just going by the fact almost everyone, almost, thinks he'd be good at any movie musical. Except I really did not like In the Heights. but again, probably because of the material. I'd love if Spiel

BwayLB said: "Ok first of all, I saw the national tour with Betty Buckley as Dolly and I loved it. Secondly, I like In The Heights and West Side Story equally as 2021 movies. Third, I would be surprised if Chu ever does Cinderella. But I would love to see Beane’s book being adapted. Because I didn’t expect to get loads of laughs out of it."

I did not know Buckley did that! I love her! So glad to hear that is what you thought of the show with her in it! I

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "This may not realistically happen in the foreseeable future, but if we ever get a Miss Saigon movie, he'd be my first choice to direct. I especially think it would be a smart move to have an Asian filmmaker at the helm of that musical in particular."

I so agree!

Yes, Book

Jordan Catalano said: "Back from a screening of this and just have to say - believe the hype. I went in still not totally sold on this being two parts but yes, it absolutely 100% earns every second of it's run time and Ariana and Cynthia are divine. Ari is doing some truly phenomenal comedic work (I'll be laughing about one of her first lines in the film, for a week) and Cynthia is equally great. I teared up multiple times and not only over Bailey's tight pants. I can'

When I saw this thread title I gasped and said, "What?!"

I only ever saw him in Into the Woods. He was the most hilarious Wolf ever. It was pretty darn amazing seeing his acting in that show. I wish I could have seen him in all his other past shows, hearing how great he was in them. And I wish I could see him in many more future shows. But I can't. And God he was such a cutie. Now I'll have to wait and see him in Heaven's shows. And now whatever recordings of
