I love how much of an a$$ Tyce Diorio comes off as.

Lame-ass excuse of a documentary. It was like watching a poorman's CW reality series trying to be a documentary. Rachelle Rak's whack-job hot mess saved this horribly boring film.
The moment they went back to discussing the creation of the original 1975 production, the film became what it should have been: fascinating. Watching those who were part of the original production: Donna McKechnie, Baayork Lee, Bob Avian, Nicholas Dante, etc. blurred everything else in the film that related to the casting of the 2006 Broadway revival.
For many obvious reasons (her family background, her never-happening Broadway stardom), they could have covered Charlotte d'Amboise segment a bit more.
One example of a recent all-too-perfect documentary on a Broadway show is and was: IN THE HEIGHTS: Chasing Dreams. This documentary is what finally got me to see the show, which I originally had NO interest in seeing, and becoming an ardent fan of it where I ended-up seeing the show about 6 times before it closed. IN THE HEIGHTS: Chasing Dreams did more for the show than any mass media advertisement could have EVER accomplished.

I enjoyed what there was, but it left me wanting more. I would have loved more background on the casting process for more of the characters. I like Snelson, but to me she's much more a Cassie than a Val.

Maybe that's why she eventually went on to play Cassie and wasn't cast as Val in the first place! 
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
