Sucked compared to the Broadway Musical

a fan of Broadway musicals, musical theatre lover, a woman, a pet owner, college student, I love musicals!

Pros

Fun music and dancing

Cons

Didn't live up to my expectations, John Travolta as a woman.

DEC

2007

This movie just didn't do it for me! I was looking for a Tracy that at least could hit the same notes as the actresses in the play...I guess I just expect too much for a broadway musical to movie production....even though I loved RENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
