We'll have to agree to disagree about those book songs not fitting the characters But I love the idea of Don't Even Think About It (which I assume is what you meant by Don't Touch) being another big dance number (maybe they thought there were enough already...) Interestingly that's one song that was written for the Livent production and replaced in London but wasn't in the Purchase production--and I do admit at parts it just sounds like a warm up for Where You Are that never really successfully builds.

I agree about Russian Movie. I wonder if that was cut/swapped due to budget.

I was a little scared I would offend people with that comment, but also wanted to express myself, lol. I do love listening to them. The score is a delight.

I don't know if I'll love it or hate it, but I want to see it. Anyone know when tickets go on sale?
The film runtime is 2 hours and 8 minutes and has been Rated R for language, sexual content and some violence.
"In a shift from the 1985 awards strategy — when both Hurt and Raul Julia were campaigned in the lead actor category — this year’s campaign is splitting its acting pushes. It was revealed to Variety exclusively that Tonatiuh will compete in lead actor, while Luna and Lopez are being positioned in the supporting categories. If nominated, Tonatiuh would join a short list of Latino actors recognized in the lead actor category. Only five Latino men have received best actor nominations in the Academy’s nearly 100-year history: José Ferrer, Anthony Quinn, Edward James Olmos, Demián Bichir and Colman Domingo."
"Luna, fresh off a successful Emmy run as an executive producer on Disney+’s “Andor,” steps into the role once played by Julia. The Mexican actor, who first gained international recognition in “Y tu mamá también” (2001), could benefit from a less competitive supporting actor field, where only Stellan Skarsgård (“Sentimental Value”) and Sean Penn (“One Battle After Another”) are currently seen as front-runners."
"A combination of nominations for Luna, Lopez and Atwood, alongside a possible lead actor showing for Tonatiuh, could bolster the film’s chances of cracking the best picture lineup.
Interestingly, Luna’s supporting placement continues a trend in movie musicals where top-billed actors are campaigned in supporting categories. Past examples include Meryl Streep (“Into the Woods”), Catherine Zeta-Jones (“Chicago”) and last year’s winner Zoe Saldaña (“Emilia Pérez”)."
