Sorry, MBarnum. Those are the type of Bollywood films I would like to see more of, but the library just carries newer titles.
Quote from: elmore3003 on July 12, 2012, 05:21:37 AMWhy don't we ever discuss things like the worst lyrics Sondheim ever wrote? From the attitude of the "cult" and THE SONDHEIM REVIEW, wherein even the worst high school production of a Sondheim show smacks of High Art, I don't know how he had time to work in musical theatre, what with inventing the McCormick Reaper, digging the Panama Canal, and creating the world in six days! You just know those REVIEW editors believe he did it in five and took the last day to finesse things. So, Larry...what do you think are Sondheim's worst lyrics??

I heard it during the second or third preview, and when I returned to see the show just after opening the entire second act had been rewritten, not entirely for the better. But that horror of a song was gone. I remember Bernadette stamping across the stage as if squishing bugs under her feet. Yes, if you've ever heard "Boom Crunch" - it's 5 minutes of your life you cannot get back. However, watching Miss Peters stomping across the stage is a close second.I've never like "Last Midnight" as a song. I get really BORED playing it. Maybe it's because I've had to SOOO many times. I just find it boring. Also, besides professional theatre, no one knows what to do with the end. Very anti-climatic. I've never understood in either stupid song, and i've seen them both, how the hell the witch gets her magic back when in Act one we're told that she lost it t become beautiful! I hate this show. THE FANTASTICKS tells the same story clearer and better and the score is superior.Is El Gallo the witch?
