Profile for Taka

A very, unusually, *bizarre* mixture between Enjolras, Fantine, Eponine, Jean Valjean, and. . .Roger DeBris? Seriously, what gives?

I am *so* going. Just to see Hugh. And hopefully a better Eponine and Thenardier than the ones I saw on tour.

Fame and Bye Bye Birdie. But then again, maybe it was just the productions that I saw that were bad. . . Edited to say: Actually, I never saw "Fame" but read the script. It was terrible!

John Cuida is AMAZING as the Phantom. I couldn't tell you about the rest of the actors, though.

"The Boys Next Door". If it was a light hearted musical, then it wold completely miss the point and if it was one of those more serious musicals, then it would be way too depressing.

maninchair, that was. . . so. . .wrong yet so right. I so wish I saw that production so I could've gotten a good laugh.

Wow. If you listen to the behind the scenes stuff, you'll learn that Johanna has one of the finest voices I've ever heard. I do wish they'd show more of "Pretty Women", though.

Actually, I just watched Toby again. He's PERFECT.

Wow. Did Sascha just do what he thought I did? Timothy Spall was excellent, as was Alan Rickman. Helena seems to be the one character who you actually have to see the entire movie in order to recieve a full impact. And I must say that this rendition of "Not While I'm Around" is the only one that actually brought tears to my eyes. (I wish we got more of Tobias acting though, because he doesn't really do much other than sing in the clips). The only one I'm concerned about is Johnny Depp. Don't ...

You little stinker, you. Well, at least *I* knew that it was Mrs. Lovett! :P

I so thought it was a train, too.

I'm just afraid that since I'm looking foward to the movie, it will suck. I dunno, but every movie that I look foward to sucks. I think it's some sort of a jinx. In spite of the jinx, I must say that I'm excited for the film.

"with most of the humor toned down" How about "A Little Priest"? That wasn't toned down, was it?

Mattbrain, Thank you so much for voicing my opinion.

Just out of curiousity, how did they play the Macavity/Mr. Mistoffeles segment? I mean, one of the students couldn't have kidnapped the principal. As for the rest of the production, that's just. . .wrong. The play's supposed to be about all of the cats, not just about Grizabella. And the classroom setting is laughable.

Since when is Eponine supposed to be sexy? It's my understanding that Eponine's ugly with a hint of inner beauty that shows. Frances Ruffelle is perfect for Eponine. Eponine needs an edge.

I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that it never occurered to me to ask the question. Apologies.

My hopes are revived, but why do I get the suspicion that those who speak well of the Sweeney film work for Burton? I know that that's not the case, but I can't help but have that suspicion nevertheless. I swear, I must be the most paranoid person on this board. . .
