Oh... another thing that bothers me about the film is the cinematography. Much of the action is shot from a very wide and very distant angle. Because of that it's hard to connect with the characters.

More from Tony Walton on his production designs for The Wiz...

Designing The Wiz

Here's a great interview with the absolutely charming Tony Walton, Production Designer for the film. It's very interesting.

The Wiz: Conversation with Production Designer Tony Walton

 

I have thought for years and years that this was the worst movie ever to result from a Broadway musical.  I do not think there is even a close second. 
 

For me, the CHORUS LINE movie still holds that distinction.

There’s no excuse for a these sites to crash IMMEDIATELY.

You are 100% correct. Absolutely no excuse. Now I've completely lost interest.

I prefer the 2-CD 35 track Danish Tour Cast Recording.

Act One

Act Two 

• The 2001 Danish tour:
  
  This production of "Chess" was notable for being the first to record a complete version of the score, including incidental music and additional songs created for the stage. 

• Complete recording (later recalled):
  
  The initial release of the cast album contained all the music from the show. However, due to rights issues, it was later withdrawn and replaced with an edited version. 

• Edited version:
  
  The edited version of the recording omitted some of the previously recorded tracks. 

• Significance:
  
  The original, complete recording is significant because it captured the full scope of the musical's score at the time. 

Starting now I bat a thousand!
This time, boys, I'm taking the bows and

Rhyming "thousand" with "bows and" is just brilliant.

It seems like many have lost any sense of "public manners". I was at a movie recently and quietly asked a constantly chattering couple to please be considerate and that request was met with a swift "F*UCK YOU" as a response. Many also feel like rules or any form of etiquette don't apply to them.

So has Equity made any kind of statement on performer's decisions to boycott? Can only the leading actors in the leading roles boycott? Are performers who want to boycott told by management that "no we have too many people out now". Are the musicians allowed to participate in the boycott? What about the crew and technicians?

Was there any mention of A CHORUS LINE's 50th anniversary on the Tony Awards?

We all have a inner bitch.  I would love it if Patti called me a bitch.

Now when I click on a "latest news" article here on Broadway World I'm assaulted with an audio ad and AI that seems to think I want them to read the news article out loud to me. I've abandoned many other websites over the years specifically because of this.

Ain't you tired, Mrs. Patti?
