Posted: 6/22/04 at 6:02pmWow. This was one movie I would have NEVER thought would come to the stage. But it might be very cool!

This is one movie to stage that could really work!

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Posted: 6/22/04 at 8:22pmOne of my all time favorite movies! YAY! I wish that Jamie Bell could sing (maybe he can?!) becasue no one really could be Billy Elliot in my mind other than him...

I liked the movie but had some problems-Chopping up a piano for wood to keep warm? When did we get in a time machine to go back to Dickensian London? & the lttle girl saying she'd let him see her fanny? Fanny has a VERY different meaning in England than the North Amercian one.
But hell, it was a dance movie & I am a dance sucker every time so I hope they work these problems out!

Posted: 6/24/04 at 12:00amThat music sounds awesome, I am so excited about this musical! Aida was an amazing score with a poor book, so lets hope this one is an amazing score with an amazing book to make one hell of a musical.
