That Cats monstrosity looks AWFUL, every time I see a commercial for it I'm horrified.

This documentary about the making of West Side Story - both the 1957 stage production and the 1961 movie - is really insightful with lots of flashes from past to present day showing its major influence on the dance industry plus how it revealed the prejudices of interracial relationships of the time and how Shakespeare's classic Romeo + Juliet really shaped the story.

A great watch, particularly for those unfamiliar with the success of the stage production.

I watched Karim Raminloo and Sierra Boggess in the Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall last weekend

I regret not watching it sooner They are now my favorite Erik and Christine.

Plus they were the original performers in the sequel Love Never Dies on the West End, I now wish they had been filmed for the DVD.

Their chemistry is amazing.

This reunion performance rehearsal speaks volumes:

I love that! POTO is my absolute favorite.

I've also watched recently: Hamilton on Disney+, Hello Dolly on Disney Plus... Both great performances!!! Barbara is a legend!

I'm probably gonna get hate for this, but I love the 'Sobbin Women' number from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

I just love the re-connection of the brothers in that scene and their determination to do something about their aching hearts.

People claim nowadays that the musical is sexist, but that stuff doesn't matter to me. It's a very sensitive way of looking at it. The women certainly aren't portrayed as weak when they're living with Milly. They sing about sexual feelings and their ability to help Milly through her pregnancy; nothing weak about either of those things.

I'm not familiar with that show!

I don't find musicals sexist. I believe it's another form of entertainment.

It's one of the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein movies starring Howard Keel with Russ Tamblyn as the youngest brother. Really great dancing and a wholesome romantic movie

The day I start judging movies for sexism is the day I give up on movies. I don't understand why people sit through what is supposed to be something fun with the intention to find flaws
