"Candle on the Water" from Pete's Dragon... — Page 2

WOW!
You would think that you posted a topic about THE MATRIX or something.
Look, the dude posed a question to people who are really into MUSICALS. Pete's Dragon being a musical definetly falls into that catorgy. Are we now not allowed to post about HAIRSPRAY the Movie, or MAMMA MIA the movie as well? He wanted help and knew that there was some good knowledge on this board. Give the guy a break....Merry Christmas!!!

On that note,
I love that movie and have been contemplating a Pete's Dragon Tattoo...lol. This too, like someone said, help feed my loving of BROADWAY and MOVIE musicals.
If it were a Broadway show, how would everyone like to see the Dragon done? Not like Shrek I am sure!!
Anyway, GREAT TOPIC! Sorry I couldn't help with another version.
kev
P.S. For the grammer police, I apologize now if there are any grammer issues. I am sure there are.

This OP posted this on the right board - look at the responses he has gotten - those of us with caring attitudes respond regardless if it doesn't fit to a "T" -

If

Jenna, if you don't want to read this thread, don;t click on it. There are many threads i don't care about, whether they be on topic or not that I just pass by.

and look at his responses! I think he was right to post it on this board. More people do look at the Broadway board more and so he has a better chance of getting an answer.

if you disagree, ignore the thread. No one is forcing you to stay and read it.

Thanks guys for defending me. I am smart enough to post on boards that I knew I would get a great valued and respected response. Most do not look at the other boards and I know the demographic is not that same. I respect my fellow musical lovers, where I know that if I posted on the main board that everyone see's I would get the best, smart and most thought-out response from any walk of life that saw it. That is why I posted it on here.

And if you really concerned about the Broadway angle to it, then so be it; I was told that it might have a chance at becoming a full length musical geared toward children. But, they (those who mentioned this to me) were having a hard time decided who would sing that song...and it would have to be good. At that point, it got me to think who else had sang this song and gave it the justice it deserved. I then posted it on here.

A friend of mine heard Michelle Nicastro version and I found it quite nice...I was unable to hear the whole thing cause I don't have a Credit Card to buy the song on AOL Music. The title of her Album is caled Reel Imagination....

I have found that most of the threads on the main board are not just about broadway but allso about musicals you don't see anyone else complaining about this.


BUT I LOVE PETES DRAGON IT'S AN ALL TIME CLASSIC!

The meanness shown by so many people on these kind of messageboards is very disheartening, especially at this season of the year.

Agreed. I'm not sure why people feel the need to be dismissive, cruel, and self-righteous on these boards. I always thought of musicals as sources of delight, inspiration, joy, and, in the best of cases, awe. Something like Pete's Dragon may not be Sondheim, but it certainly fulfills my basic requirements for a memorable musical experience. It's a shame it has become fuel for vindictive, self-appointed policing.

I was just listening to this and came across this thread. Way too weird.

A note to the board police - a better approach might be talking to the mods. Crazy idea, I know.

And I'm just sad the Pushing Daisies "Candle on the Water" aired too late to make it onto the soundtrack in complete form.

trinaaron, thanks! DrTheatre, it's about a 1/3 of the way into the program and it's really lovely!
