It looks like this directors the one at fault. She's only doing what she's told to do, and if she doesn't want to mimic these other actors, then she should probably take it up with the director. Point is, she's a good singer but I don't like her acting in this video. Didn't anyone here take high school theatre? My high school director wouldn't let us do anything that she didn't tell us to do.
Either you live on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere... or you only listen to showtunes and you never watch TV. Either way, I feel sorry for you.
At least they didn't cast a white guy as MLK. And you're bitching because he doesn't look like MLK? Really? How about we just close MLK so he can play himself.
Scott Evans!!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I know it's from a movie, but the white girl singing "And I Am Tellin' You" to the little black boy in CAMP cracks me up every time.
Here's what I don't get... I understand that Wicked: The Musical can't use ruby slippers, since the shoes were changed for the MGM movie... but everything else, like Toto, and the Yellow Brick Road, are in the original book and were used in the Maguire novel.
I was chosen to direct a one act play for my high school's Senior One Act Play Festival. The first play I wanted to direct had some bad language and my teacher asked Sam French if we could cut it. They said no. Which leads me to my point: It's up to the rights holder (usually the playwright, or the publisher if the playwright has passed) to decide what happens. There's a chance that the director has permission. Your friend should ask the director.
MEAN GIRLS: THE MUSICAL would be amazing. I'll think of the song titles. One could be "So Fetch!" I hated Juno. I waited until after the Oscars to see it, so I thought it'd be really good, because of the hype... Not so much. The dialogue annoyed the **** out of me and I didn't really like Juno that much. I also don't like Michael Cera that much.
