EVITA didn't start the recent resurgence of movie musicals. That honor goes to Baz Luhrmann's MOULIN ROUGE. EVITA failed at the box office. The film cost $55 mill to make. In the US it took in a paltry $50 mill at the box office. Internationally it made a total of $91 mill for a grand total of $141 mill.
Maybe Patti LuPone can attend and drown out Madge's incredibly weak vocal performance in this turkey.

SONY isn't forcing anyone here to shell out $20 to go see this. That's what the tickets are priced. It is what it is. If you don't want to pay $20 to go see it, then don't. If you don't want to pay the price, then don't but don't bitch and moan about something you can't change.

Yes, the original Broadway version of GREASE is definitely not for the kiddies, folk. It had more of an edge, it was raw and that's what the creators wanted. What's been revived on Broadway in 1993 and 2007 bears no resemblance to the original creators intentions but then most of them sold the show out when they allowed these changes to take place.

My question is, who's that hottie in the tank top behind her?
Not a tank top. It's a sleeveless tee.

Thanks marknyc for doing this! I was hoping you would get around to it. I agree with Michael Bennett that Caron's real voice could have been used but in those days everything had to come off polished.

JohnBoy, I really don't care. It's really not that big of a deal. It makes no difference to me, the money ain't going in my pocket. I just find the reactions hilarious.

When will this homogenized, Disney-fied, kiddie version, rank amateur production of GREASE close and put Broadway out of it's misery. Give that theater to something worthwhile, like HAIR.

I don't get how some people are so offended at the fact that MAMMA MIA! has become the third highest grossing movie musical in film history. As if it were some crime against humanity or Julie Andrews, or both. LMAO.

I hope this gets released on DVD if only to replace that seriously abridged, truncated and revised atrocity that hit movie theaters in November 2005.

I'm writing this on this thread because I cannot possibly answer every single PM I have received asking me to share the GYPSY cast recording.
I'm glad everyone is eager and excited and cannot wait to finally ad this recording to their cast album collections. Those of us who have it can tell you that it will be definitely worth the wait but I can't in all honesty share this over the internet.
I'm not going to go into a long winded explanation on how downloading unlicensed copyr

BK, in reality the musical GYPSY is "suggested by the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee". It was always (at least up until the 1973 Lansbury revival) billed as "a musical fable". It was an embellishment, a re-working, a re-invention of fact into a piece of entertainment. It's not supposed to be the definitive tell all on Rose, June and Louise Hovick.
Even THE SOUND OF MUSIC was a fictional reworking of the life of Maria Von Trapp. The real Maria Von Trapp was nowhere near the person either Mar
