Just got finished watching this DVD for like the 10th time since I bought it last week. I guess as someone who has never seen it live before I probably have a different opinion than those who have. But, I LOVE it. It is amazing! I went out and bought the live CD from the original show after watching the DVD a few times, and although I miss that that the movie has some differences (the different timing of the chandelier crash, the omition of the second song about the letters, and some spoken stuff that was originally sung), I think it is brilliant. I cannot stop watching this movie! I agree that the movie seems to drag in parts...at least that is what I thought the first couple of times through. Now though, I can't get enough of it. I didn't care too much for Masquerade the first couple of times through, now I love it. I think how they did it with a silver/gold/black/white concept is amazing; it looks so great.
I will be seeing it in Houston in July from the 3rd row and "I Can't Wait." I think it's going to be everything I love about the movie and +10 more.
Anyway, just wanted to share my affection for this movie. I highly recommend it to anyone to see, especially those that have never seen it live before and can go into it with a completely blank slate like I did.
Wow, I'm up late...off to bed...or maybe I'll stay up a couple hours more and get Sonic breakfast since I can't get Chick-fil-a on a Sunday!
