I understand...haha!

But Meet Me In St. Louis, I suppose, would be my REAL fav. My entire family watches this movie every year on Christmas eve night!

Preach it. "Roxanne" is probably the most well-done scene in the entire movie. Extremely effective.

Followed closely by Grease and then Chicago...

Audrey II: Feed me, Seymour!
Audrey II: Feed me!
Seymour: Does it have to be human?
Audrey II: Feed me!
Seymour: Does it have to be mine?
Audrey II: Feeeed me!
Seymour: How am I supposed to get it?
Audrey II: [singing] Feed me, Seymour / Feed me all night long - That's right, boy! - Go to it, Feed me Seymour / Feed me all night long / Cause if you feed me, Seymour / I can grow up big and strong.
Audrey II: [singing] Would you like a Cadillac car? / Or a guest shot on Jack Paar? / How about a date with Hedy Lamarr? / You can get it.
Audrey II: [singing] I got killer buds / A power stem / Nasty pods / And I'm using them! / So better move 'em out / Nature calls / You got my pun? / I'm gonna bust your balls!

There's a new chinese musical called Perhaps Love (jealousy, tango, lonely angry man singing among the elements) where they pratically copied it, but it works well also in their version

I think they are smoking hot when they looked at each other when singing "how wonderful life is - while you're in the world" - sighes.

This big ol' 'Mo needs an "all of the above" choice!

Interesting. I am going to have to pop in the DVD tonight after this discussion.

I also have to saw Phantom was very well done and ER's voice without flaw - though Minnie Driver stole every scene she was in and that wig needed a crane to put on

Also, had Lupone done Evita - well words cannot really describe how wondersful she would have been in it.

I was just getting ready to post that poor Evita hasn't received a vote. I did enjoy both the film and Madonna's performance. But I am a big fan of hers, so....

Very interesting. You guys are great.

I must admit to having a huge, unhealthy, distasteful LOVE for 'Xanadu.'

Yes...

A Place where nobody dared to go...

The movie was great and the augmentation to the score was brilliant - the key of C for Esther was a little much though she did a great job with what little voice she had/has. In the end, I give it a B+.
