Another gay guy who falls into the stereotype of liking musical theater. But the gayness doesn't stop there. I particularly love magical musicals, about fantasy, fairy tales, poofy dresses, sparkly special effects, and, yes, Disney.

I completely agree, joevitus. "Home" was filmed the way it should be. I love her seeing all the people she met as she sings the song.

I like the epicness the far away shots give. There are also enough close-ups to connect to the characters in other shots, in my opinion.

We see the musicians falling down the stairs, so it’s safe to assume the wedding ends up not happening because of a stampede of animals running through it."
Oh, yeah that's probably it. Good catch.

Yes. she did. She absolutely did. Her neurotic, over-the-top histrionic performance in this buried not only the film but her movie career in the process.
Instead of exuding any kind of wonder and curiosity upon crash landing in Oz she goes into tortured and anguished screams that one would think she was about to get raped.

Thank you TotallyEffed for bringing this to our attention! I may have never known!
The Wiz is one my very top favorite movies, ever since I rented it a lot as a kid. I always loved the story of "The Wizard of Oz", and I LOVED the way this film did it. I actually think it is a truly good movie. I enjoy it every time i watch it. Is some of it cringey? Yes, But I don't think that makes it a bad film.
I love the feeli

I swear to god if you do not stop acting like it is 2005 if you still insist on being online. A link not being click able should not be something you have to call out in the year of our lord 2025. Highlight it and click open."
Don't be so mean TheatreFan4. You could have said that nicely.

Thank you all. Looks like the Broadway HD version will let me see what I was looking for.

I heard a lot of people talk about this show in some thread about what you wish you could have seen live. Is there only one famous Broadway version of this story? Is it the Royal Shakespeare Company version available to stream on Broadway HD? Who's the star?
Just wondering if everyone was talking about the same one and how I can see it. Thank you.

That line is gold lol! The way Goldie delivers it after Earnest's full explanation is superb"
I fully agree! So nice to know you feel the same way!

Which Death Becomes Her Is Better? Movie or Musical
Jun 15
2025, 12:11:30 AM
I am saving money up to hopefully see the musical soon, but while the best line is in both the movie and musical, "NOW a warning?!", only the movie has my second favorite line, "Exactly which part of the plan were you unclear on?"
Every time I've heard the line while watching the film I crack up.
By the way, I actually feel the movie is good. It's highly, highly entertaining with a great message by the end.

I think "Fable" is all about Margaret acknowledging, from her own lived experience, that true happy endings are unlikely under the best of circumstances, but that there's a lot to be valued in the pursuit of the happy ending, and that Clara deserves the chance to pursue it. "Love, if you can, oh my Clara. Love, if you can, and be loved." Margaret has loved, and been loved, and lost, and she fina

But we see Glinda in her wedding dress in the probably non-fantasy scene where she tells Elphie to show herself before the monkeys see her and she does.

Ooooh, I love this teaser! I am not sold on Glinda's wedding dress, but it kinda makes sense she'd have something boring for a love that wasn't real? A plain, boring look on love? I love every other costume. I suspect one of those purplish pink things with a fullness to the back is her beautiful ballgown. I forgot Elphaba comes back for the monkeys and that's why they chased her at the end of the first film and later she corrals them to her side. This looks so visually am

Oh, thank you for the information. So "Operation Mincemeat" doesn't have gay characters. Whoops.

Throughout the first act, Margaret believes the former proposition, but the happenings in the second act convince her that Clara deserves to choose her own path. The title song

I watched the Broadway proshot, and....this musical IS a masterpiece! Victoria was amazing, and the book and score were so good. I mean, well, kinda. The score is beautiful, but...I would not say exactly memorable. I can't remember any melodies. But I only heard all the songs once, and sometimes songs become more popular on a repeat listens. It just reminds me of how today's musicals seem to have the music all over the place and not much repetition. But at least it

Thank you oh so much Georgeanddot2 and ggersten! You were both perfectly helpful! I found a Piazza proshot, will watch it soon, and so great to know about who won the Oliviers. I guess I should have expected Scherzinger to win, after everything I have heard about her! Operation Mincemeat I must admit I do not know much about...just watched "Dear Bill" which was sad and interesting. And gay. I didn't know it had that in it. Maybe I shou
