JT2030 said: "ARather random thought: would there be any route for some sort of film awards season consideration for this? Or are pro-shots like this one technically ineligible for some reason?"Recordings of stage productions aren't Academy Award eligible since they were conceived/staged for another medium. See #8 on page 2 here: https://www.oscars.org/sites/oscars/files/96_general_entry_rules.pdfSome other awards bodies, such as Golden Globes, have their own rules though (Hamilton got two Gl...

macbeth said: "I think Maria or Sonia Friedman described it as being edited more like a film so maybe less audience shots? I dunno." Having seen it, Maria Friedman really edited it in a way where she treats the theatre stage as if it were a soundstage space. Heavy on the closeups, not a lot of wide full stage shots, audience never visible though sometimes heard (and at a lower volume). It's more than a little strange and takes a while to get used to. But this is a case where I see what they m...

EricMontreal22 said: "Which begs the question... why not just go back to the original London, almost entirely sung-through version? It ran three years (granted with an insane set design and staging back when that was a key reason to go to London musicals) and no one seemed all too bothered about the intricacies of the stories beyond the basic plot points until Trevor Nunn decided that he wanted to be able to start fresh for New York and not with the ideas he was left with from Michael Bennett...

Sorry to lose "Sunrise" in In the Heights and "High Enough" in Rock of AgesHappy to gain "Love You I Do," "Patience," "Listen" in Dreamgirls; "Sandy" in Grease

"Too Beautiful for Words" is in the film, but not as a number proper. It's used as a record that Mister listens to, and Celie asks who is singing.

VirginiaK said: Is there anybody here who knows DDLJ who has also seen the show? One thing I wonder about is, have they kept the tunes for the songs and added English lyrics? My guess would be yes, as they are wonderful and super-well-known."The only song left of Jatin-Lalit's wonderful song score in the original film is "Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna" in the original Hindi, and the signature instrumental melody of "Tujhe Dekha To" is played a bit. But that's it. The rest are new songs by Vishal and ...

I remain highly disappointed that "Gimme More" isn't on the song list (and, seriously, only ONE from the Blackout album?)

ErmengardeStopSniveling said: "Well, there's a lot more characters in this than on stage, so there's bound to be some dividing-up of numbers. Holding any judgement until we can actually see it!"Oh, most definitely on both counts. But since the song is the big finish (and that still seems to be the case, what with the "Happy Birthday" melody ending), one would think the other two primary characters (even if Karessa seems to have been beefed up a bit) would be on it. We shall see how it plays out.

It's interesting that it's Joshua Henry and Vanessa Hudgens joining Garfield on "Louder Than Words" and not Robin de Jesus and Alexandra Shipp.

Watch Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All By Myself where she slays Aretha’s “Rock Steady”."She didn't do her own singing in the film. That was Cheryl Pepsi Riley providing her vocals."She may have been dubbed in that film, but it's funny how people forget she sang this on film and then months later live at the Oscars.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZVXJRmPgZ0

kidbroadway2 said: "I thought Vanessa was very just ok, and didn't Hudgens play her already in the show WITH Ramos at KC? Neither of the Nina/Vanessa actors made a big enough impact as a Ramos or Hawkins to warrant not casting a name at all."Hudgens may have helped the box office somewhat (at the very least, it would've helped grab some attention), but that opens up another can of worms since she isn't Latina. I do wonder, though, if the late Naya Rivera was ever in contention for Vanessa in ...

Obviously never made it to Broadway, but I think LOVE NEVER DIES will mostly live on through "'Til I Hear You Sing" being a big time audition song.

Jon Favreau was set to direct JERSEY BOYS and was in the middle of casting in 2012 when it was abruptly put into turnaround. Then a year later it was revived with Clint Eastwood.

Kurt Deutsch, Sherie Rene Scott's husband and fellow co-founder of Sh-K-Boom, cameos in the same scene she's in, sitting on the opposite end of the table.

Interesting. Vishal Bhardwaj is a terrific composer and also a very solid film director as well (best known for his adaptations of Shakespeare plays, most recently Haider, based on Hamlet, which released in cinemas in October).

I like this "Made of Stone" just fine, but it really doesn't have the same oomph as an 11:00 number as the Berlin "Someday"/"Einmal" did, with that epic choral climax. Probably too late for them to flip the song order back to that in Berlin before opening on the 9th (though I can hope), but hoping they revert back in the revisions before the next production(s).

For those who have seen it so far, what is the approximate run time of the show?

I'm going on the official opening night on the 9th... but, needless to say, quite curious to hear the reaction and development from the preview period.
