Being that I've seen the sh...I loved the movie. Being that I've seen the show in New York many a times, I was truly afraid something would be lost in translation. Sure some elements were dropped, but the core of the show held true. I loved how they brought Colm Wilkinson in, and how he was there at the end of the movie. <br /><br />I, too, read the novel, and latched onto it. It will forever be on my bedside table. I loved how Hooper brought elements from the novel in. <br /><br />Ive often said that the overture of the show is my "favorite" part, because I know I'm about to witness something amazing, and thats when the butterflies come, so I was overjoyed to hear the overture. I had some minimal issues in terms of cutting songs, and Russell Crowe (not minimal), the movie brought me back to the Broadhurst, and that feeling I got the first time I saw the show, and the first time I read the novel. <br /><br />Then during the epilogue, well that was perfection.

I thought she did a wonderful job in the movie and her song brought tears to my eyes. Hugh Jackman did an incredible job but pairing him with Russell Crowe was painful to watch. I wish Helena and Sasha's parts were funnier. It is the only comic relief you get in the entire show so it was a bit disappointing that they were more serious. Also, their accents were all over the place. Although there were things I would have changed, it was an all over great movie!theplaybillcollectorhttp://theplaybillcollector.com/noreply@blogger.com
