Evidently, he played these LOUD, at all hours. This reminds me of that story.Fun fact: I found that disco suite in a vinyl store's dollar bin, and by the end of the album they're playing "fake Evita music" because they've run out of actual songs from the show to cover. The last track i...

They’re overwhelmingly white and tend to have a certain kind of look. Close cropped haircuts. Windowpane suits. Golf shorts.So gross.You can either party with the gays on Fire Island, or you can cut funding for AIDS programs, but you can’t do both.^ ^ THAT part!

"The Wiz" was the first, quickly followed by "A Chorus Line" in 1977.

This is easily one of the best stage to movie musical adaptations ever! It’s right up there with the 1961 WEST SIDE STORY, in that it took a theatrical piece and seamless transitioned it to the silver screen.MASTERPIECE

The intolerance shown by many in this thread boggles my mind.

That was a great clip. "A Face in the Crowd" is a great story. I'm surprised that it has taken this long for a musical adaptation to come to fruition. I'm hoping that if this is a success it makes its way across the pond. I would love to see this.

Dammit, I was hoping to read some tea on the film from those fortunate enough to have attended the recent preview screenings, but I see that they made you guys sign NDA's.
