2 1/2 hours....i will never get back!

[Dreamy]

Many good books translate horribly to the big screen. I did enjoy the play. No plans to see the movie however. Sounds dreadful.

 

[Si modo]

Damn, the musical was bo-ring. Movie? Never.

Book? Fabulous.

 

[jillian]

I tell ya...i was Les Misérable myself watching that damn boring long thing!


I love the book.... and do not for the life of me understand why... WHY this thing is a broadway smash. The music... SUCKED!

oh jeeze... that's how i felt when i saw the show on broadway. i had my husband whispering in my ear the whole time, "is it over yet"?

it had one good song.

Thank god i am not the only girl who hated it!!! what can i say... we both have good taste. Hell... i was whispering to my self.... "is it over yet?"

Hugo is rolling over in his grave!

might be!

i loved the book, though.

 

[Connery]

I cant imagine the play being much different then the movie.

A movie is a just a motion picture. A Broadway show is an event; from getting the tickets to dressing appropriately to dining at a fine restaurant and the live performance.

I would not enjoy watching a movie of a show that I saw on Broadway.

LOL.... im up for all of that.... just leave out the theater... unless its a I tell ya, theater does nothing for me. I prefer movies.

opera, ballet, symphony.... im up for all of that, just not actors on a stage.

To me the production, while the main aspect of the event, is simply a part of the whole. Saw a couple of dramas on Broadway, they were interesting, but, not entertaining. I do not want to think, I want to be entertained.

even with a broadway actor in the family.... it does nothing for me. Ill take a good circus de soleil show over a play any day.

Looks like I am smarter than all of ya.

I wouldn't get caught dead at that "movie"

Can't say the same for my wife and daughters...

 

[Harry Dresden]

did Jackman unsheathe his Adamantium claws?....

 

[Mr. H.]

was it billed as a must-see, year-end/new year, chick flick?

Wife/daughter said the theatre was full of old women crying their eyes out.

Funny.


I don't know anyone who is planning to go see it but I will spread the word to avoid it. Some of the reviews appear mixed.

Let me guess, "Master of the House", right?

And the only reason I remember it is because of a Seinfeld episode.

Jesus Christ Super Star, Hair and Rocky Horror are the only good Musicals I have ever seen.
