"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

As an English teacher, I must ask: How can an actor do the same SHOW on Broadway and in a MOVIE?
Please pacify me by restructuring that sentence.
Yours for more pleasing grammar,

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Dollypop,
I apologize. Please accept this revised question:
"Which actors and actresses portrayed the same character(s) in both the Broadway and the movie musicals?"
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry.
