I really wish that some of this movie musical business could be done like "CATS," JCS, or the PPV release of "Jekyll and Hyde" -- just filming the stage performance. I guess that eliminates the actual process of making a movie of it in some...well, in a lot of respects, but that would keep the mad purists, such as myself, somewhat happy (not totally, of course -- WHERE is 'Growltiger's Last Stand,' I ask you???). I find that too many recent movie musicals have gone for too many hollywood names and always manage to cut some of the best songs (ie, Chicago's 'Class').
I agree with everything you just said! I miss Growltiger so much I made a SOUNDTRACK(!) of the DVD and put Growltiger back in so I could at least listen to the DVD cast and be happy. Also had to use the Austalian version of "Mungojerie and Rumpleteazer" becasue the filmed version is cut short... I'm psycho I guess...
anyway, thread jack, back on topic...

I am not to familiar with this Musical ( I know thats crazy! )
Well, I know the song "Seasons of Love".
But, why not have all the songs???

I think Seasons of Love would be best served in the credits.
Oh yeah, has anyone mentioned if there's going to be an "original song" to qualify it for the Best Original Song category cum Oscars?

Haven't rightly heard if there was going to be an original song.. That would be a good question for Anthony..

Posted: 11/7/04 at 1:57pmThey need to cut Tango Maureen and Christmas Bells and all the junky songs that aren't musical sounding anyway and just do the main songs like what's on the highlights cd.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 4:52pmPersonally, I like having Tango:Maureen in there. The fact that they got rid of stuff like We're Okay is great. I'm disappointed about getting rid of the voicemails, but hey, nothing's perfect.

#59Out Tonight
Posted: 11/8/04 at 11:34pmMimi sings it in the Cat Skratch Club while stripping, if they stick to the Chobsky script for this one, she invites Angel at the end to strip also. They strip bare naked and we see them from behind seeing all the men in Club shocked to see Angel has a penis. Then Roger still pissed off not liking Mimi goes to the loft she follows and Another Day starts.

The important thing though- did Chbosky mention the "blue pants" in his OT? I remember reading the glitter in her hair, the bathrobe, but no sign of the pants.
If you ask me, those pants define OT partially.
