Finally saw it in an empty theatre today ( Monday ) when it first started I had so many reservations about the changes made, original thought that JLo was wildly miscast. The Bill Condon had yet again destroyed another musical. Than something happened with the moment when “Where you are” began. It became thrilling and a different energy was born, everyone hit their stride and a capturing story started tO unfold. The three leads were fantastic, the lead up to the ending thrilling ( I did miss “Anything for him” ) it sets that ending up spectacularly. But that’s a minor quibble. 
I was impressed.

I totally agree. I watched it at home on a huge 4K 60” TV via an industry screener and actually was enjoying Lopez and the film as it was unfolding but when Molina started singing those first lyrics to “Where You Are”, I erupted in applause and stood up with excitement and boy, did Sergio Trujillo deliver and with endless nods to the original Broadway choreography. Here Lopez oozed complete confidence and this was a true showcase of a superstar. Every nuanced gesture was brilliance. 
I have a feeling this is one of those films that, even though it didn’t make a splash on release, will find new life on streaming—reaching a fresh audience and finally getting the appreciation it deserves.
Is there a streaming date yet?

If you like Sergio's choreography, you should get to DC to se his new "Damn Yankees". It's wonderful. Closes this Sunday.
