"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."

I hope they have worked this show since its California production. I remember not enjoying it very much at all.

David Burtka being alive...life is good. Not the greatest, but nice to look at.

It's the movie, but with music. I don't understand what you mean by "better." It's the same plot, lines, and characters. If you didn't like the movie, I suggest you stay away from the musical.
