ladies and gentlemen, whether you like it or not:
"Hedwig & The Angry Inch."
Now THAT'S what I call a movie musical.

Posted: 11/8/03 at 3:05amNot on Broadway, but I very much enjoyed the stage production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in London. The movie was one of my favorites as a child, and I liked the way they adapted the story to the stage, making changes that I thought improved the storyline.

Posted: 11/8/03 at 7:00pmHairspray has been my favorite movie for like 10 years!! Everyone laughed at me, but then it became a musical and suddenly it's the greatest thing. I have yet to see the musical though.

Posted: 11/9/03 at 1:13pmGonna have to say the film version of "A Funny Thing Happenend on the Way to the Forum". Zero Mostel is a big, fat, sweaty beautiful, mess. Not to mention the cameo by Buster Keaton. The film is just absolutely absurd in its presentation. In no way is it good, but's it a great psychedelic laugh fest...especially when polluted...

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Choosing to ignore future comments that may come from Dollypop and a couple of other people who will completely dissagree with me, I love the film version of "Hello, Dolly!"
Also:
Chicago
My Fair Lady
Funny Girl
The Sound of Music
And again, will ignore any comments towards this one...Mame. Though I would have preferred Angela in the role, I love Lucy! no pun intended. lol

I forgot, I also love that Thoroughly Modern Millie was adapted into a staged production.
