Big bosoms and beautiful because she certainly was not big in the literal terms. They should have put a bit of padding on her.

Sometimes there are rights issues which mean they can't be put on on-demand. The Simpsons is a good example. I bet there'll be a DVD soon.

Only clips on YouTube as far as I can find. Like Grease Live it may turn up on I Tunes.

Messy and not a patch on Grease Live.
I liked Kristin C, Seaweed, Jennifer Hudson and Corney Collins & Amber.
Tracey, Penny, Link and Wilbur were just meh.
It might be just me, but I find Harvey Fierstein really irritating!
The dialogue was often rushed and indistinct, losing a lot of the humour.
And the choreography was really disappointing, I thought. Here was a golden opportunity for big dance numbers and sweeping camera angles, there just didn't look to be enough people half the time. Although Seaweed and his group of male dancers were a highlight.
Glad I've seen it but it didn't have the right energy for me.
What was the song at the end? That was good.

What was the song at the end? That was good. 'Come So Far (Got So Far To Go)', which was written for the movie of the musical. 'Ladies' Choice' was also written for the movie too. |

It was played over the end credits as opposed to being part of the actual musical (as I guess they kinda did with the live version), it's such an awesome song!! |

I agree it is a good song - do you think it could work well in the stage show at curtain call?
I also like the song 'New Girl in Town' that was in the movie. That's never been put on stage though.
It always surprises me why they decide to always cut 'Big Doll House'?

Good question, not totally sure whether the song would work at the curtain call, as if there is a curtain call song, it's usually a reprise of a song used earlier in the show. Maybe it could work as an instrumental? But it's very TV/Film to have an original play over the credits, not so much to introduce an original after the actual show has ended. And interestingly about New Girl In Town (and someone correct me if I'm wrong!), but I believe it was actually written for the original Broadway show, but was then cut, but put back in for the 2007 film. As for Big Doll's House, I seem to be the only person who pretty much has no feelings towards the song & doesn't mind it being left out of the film & live TV broadcast! Does nothing for me, I'd happily cut it from the show!! |
