The public should never again be tortured with the likes of another Phantom of the Opera and Les Mis movie remake with their awful Hollywood / pop cast of performers. No matter how much money the creators of thes two musicals made, I lost a lot of respect for them for what they allowed to happen to their musicals. Absolutely atrocious. You left out Madonna as “Evita”. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we to assume it's the same music or will that be "remade", too? In any case, not a fan of this particular remake. Same here. It would be like remaking "Casablanca." Why even try??? What... in the remake, Victor Laszlo doesn't get on the plane??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unwatchable. And black and white. And not widescreen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I saw that Tony Kushner is writing a new book for it, and I guess I"m okay with it? HOPING they keep most of the music and choreography the same. As long as it has a Tony and Maria ANYWHERE near as good as Larry Kert and Carol Lawrence, I'll be okay with it. The last Broadway revival had an awful Tony, and I've always felt that the dubbing for both Wood and Beymer in the film version made all of their scenes feel super plastic. You will not find a better blend of timbre and emotion than they had. This is still incredibly moving, old as it is: Edited January 26, 2018 by Lance 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) I have this CD. https://www.amazon.com/Leonard-Bernstein-conducts-West-Story/dp/B000001G62 It’s great. And the PBS documentary of the making of it is fantastic. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/the-making-of-west-side-story-conducted-by-leonard-bernstein-dvd-1985/14507198.p?skuId=14507198 Edited January 26, 2018 by Terri Schehr 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
