Excellent production. Top-notch performances. But I am not sold on the show.

I know that Sondheim fellow preached the gospel of saying things three times so people latch on to something, but there is so much repetition in act one that it just feels way too long. I'd be willing to bet BK could trim 10-20 minutes without anyone noticing.

The big change for the movie was to make Evan middle-aged.

Started listening to Lempicka on the way home. I wish I had seen the show. It's audacious in such a vulgar way that I am enjoying how good bad it all is.

The very first rhyme in the show is a false rhyme.

Has this been discussed here?

The director of the gender-switched COMPANY is hoping to make a movie of that version of the show.
https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Tony-Winner-Marianne-Elliott-Is-Hoping-for-A-COMPANY-Film-20240905?

That might be cool...IF they cast people who can actually sing!


For a movie, is there any reason they can't dub some of the singing, like Hollywood used to?

That doesn't seem to happen anymore.  They make the weak voices seem stronger rather than hire stronger (or al least, better than average) singers.

After the (mispronounced) Kamala song (which otherwise was really good), the next YouTube suggestion was this:
