Profile for Chowd95

I saw this last night at a packed screening and I've gotta say it lives up to the hype. I've seen Wicked on tour probably 8 or 9 times in the last 20 years and have played the soundtrack to death so I am very familiar with the show. The great thing about the movie is that they literally have cut next to nothing in terms of music and dialouge beats. All your favorite lines are here. All of the music you love is here. The actors GET this material. I think anyone who is a die hard or casual fan ...

The majority of the people going to see this movie don't know who Cynthia Erivo is and those who do could really care less. She looks like she's gonna nail Elphaba and that's all that matters

Spielberg clearly got people who know what they are doing to assist."The music element of this movie is going to be incredible and one that doesn't have to rely on drastic cuts/gimmicks to make it work on film. Interestingly, the Wiki article says that t...

Kind of loving the lens flares. They make the happier scenes (Tony and Maria meeting) look more dream like and fantastical, while giving the darker parts of the trailer (especially the amazing shot of Tony and Riff wrestling over the gun) a more foreboding feel. I'm all in.

Sondheim said glowing things about the movie on Colbert tonight. That's about as high a recommendation as you can get.

Did they keep the effect of Ginny waking up in bed alone and Harry just appearing out of nowhere next to her?

Los Tacos if you don't mind sit/standing while you eat and it's literally right across the street from Harry Potter so you can't miss it. As far as cheap if you venture west of 9th you'll find tons of places.

I like that they did a selfie with the whole opening night audience just like they did at the first preview in November '19. This show has gotten a lot of hate for various reasons but as a fan of her music I personally enjoy it.

All the talk of pronouns aside I'm sure this cast will be wonderful and I can't wait to see this on tour. I loved the Broadway production and was sad it closed so early.

Very happy for The Inheritance. A spellbinding 7 hours

This has been great so far

If you're a fan of this show (which I think there will be many new ones after this) then you have to be thrilled. Great recording.

I would search out bootlegs of Les Mis (preferably the original production with the turntable.. the reboot is fine but is no where near as epic) because the only other versions are the concerts. If you end up going the concert. If you end up going the concert route nothing beats the 10th anniversary. Lea Salonga, Philip Quast, Michael Ball, Michael Maguire and Colm Wilkinson are all spectacular.. and Nick Jonas basically ruins the 25th anniversary concert.

Wow, after only two days The Prom is #2 in the Netflix top ten.

Is "Simply Love" part of the movie or an end credits song? It comes at the very end of the album but feels like part of a new scene that wasn't in the stage show. Either way it's very pretty and is sung beautifully by James. The whole album sounds great, with "Unruly Heart" being the highlight for me.

Murphy, a gay man, has led some straight actors into fertile gay territory before, like Darren Criss in The Assassination of Gianni Versace. But Corden, flitting and lisping around in the most uninspired of caricature...

Jordan Catalano said: "Newsweek says Corden is “offensively miscast” and I’m glad that’s being called out because it’s true. "Meanwhile Variety calls his performance "soulfully funny and touching" and compares it to Christopher Guest in "Waiting for Guffman".
