I just got home from seeing the movie. I was very impressed. Gypsy and CINT were not highlights, so don’t be too quick to judge the whole production on those. No Chrissie Hynde, which kinda would have been weird strutting out in the middle of the concert and disappearing again. Waddy was fine on those vocals.
Moonlight was and is a masterpiece here, her vocals are amazing and how I remember them from the concerts I saw in Sydney, it was almost like she saved her voice until that song.
I could write so much more telling you all how impressed I am with the movie. Haters gonna hate, the rest, you will see for yourselves. The stories were not rambling at all and made me laugh more than I did hearing them live.
Finally, Mabel Normand played over the credits, a perfect ending. My highlights were Moonlight, Belle Fleur and Wild Heart/Bella Donna. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
