"and I'll never get over how sexy Gerard is in this movie. "
How can you and why would you want to anyway?
Watched all the features except the DVD-rom one, having trouble with my computer, grrr. I do think that for 2 discs they could have added a bit more but I am still quite grateful for the features they had. I agree, the documentary on the stage show was great, and I actually really loved seeing the crew run the show and all the work they have to put into it all the turning and such. So many people in the theatre work so hard, usually uncredited at least by the public.
The making of the movie was adequate, of course I knew I was gonna want more but they did cover everything though slightly briefly. A couple interesting bits-the bit of Emmy's screen test(she was 16-she looked/sounded so young but cute!), bits of Gerry's make-up being applied(poor guy had to sit there for awhile). I didn't realize Jennifer Ellison had such an accent. More I can say on this but I'm tired, maybe I'll post it tomorrow.
Ooh and CATS, if you're interest in seeing Colm as the Phantom, he plays him in what is now on video "Hey Mr. Producer," a tribute to Cameron Mackintosh. I'm pretty sure they show most of "Phantom of the Opera" and "Music of the Night."
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
