Okay, I'll play.... I adored the book, and the musical, and think I could sing Emmy out of house and home... that said....
Yeah... they did pre-record the singing... and yes, the lip synch/breathe synch *sucked*
The backlighting... I hated that. HATED.
The stockings... yeah what was with that???? Nary a garter in sight... wrong on too many levels knowing the age of the actress and the character. Not to mention the time period.
Seems to me, that Christine, in the musical, wore a robe over the 'slave girl' costume when she went into the lair the first time..
I agree with Eliza, he wasnt deformed enough. And I didnt need the extra 15 minutes to explain his past... really I didnt. If anything it took any pity I had for him away.
what was the other thing you said... hmmmm...
Oh the lyrics....
I said that when I left the theatre, I had slight pity for my escort. She had never seen the show, and lord knows wasnt a theatre geek.
I wondered if anyone else could really understand what the heck was going on. I knew the words, and hence, could follow the lyrics.
But.. that said... i did like the movie, but knew better than to ask a man to accompany me.
