about Victor/Victoria. I absolutely love the movie verson although I saw that first but it was so perfect and this is one of those musicals I felt sorry when I saw the end credit.
advantages of the movie:
- Julie Andrews sings beautifully here on the Bway version she barely has any kinda voice and it saddened me really cause I like her so much.
- she has a chemistry with James Gardner. I love them see together just like in The Americanization of Emily and that Christmas movie (Special Night, or what was the title).
- Robert Preston is hillarious especially at the end and I love his laugh...I had the same laugh too so he always gets me in a great mood.
- I love John-Rhys Davis.
- I love The Shady Dame from Sevilla number it was so great, I don't know why they changed it to that horrible Lui Says number.
Advantages of the Bway version:
- Greg and Rachel
- I love the set, especially the hotel rooms and the way they use it in the second act (when King tries to peep Victoria)
- the second act is funnier - maybe because of the extras like Sal's men or because Norma gets more part then in the movie.
- Greg.
- I personally love the "Paris by night" number when that girl sings it who give the rose to Squash.
- Greg.
- I love live theatre
oh, and Greg.

I love when he sings "it's not a crime to love each other" at the end of the show and he gets such a big ovation for that one line. And his voice is totally different from the Scoundrel-voice or when he sang O holy night! I just love him so much.
Oh and one more thing: you guys always keep telling me that John is a big sweat-er, well Michael Nouri did nothing else during the second act but sweat.
I think that was my longest post.
Norbert Leo Butz quotes about John Lithgow: "He's really clumsy. One of the joys in life is to watch a great big huge man totally wipe out backstage. It takes John about three minutes to hit the floor. It's like watching a Great Sequoia falling gracelessly."
