Hugh Jackman can sing very well, he's done stage musicals - I believe he was in Oklahoma with Maureen Lipman a few years ago if I recall?

Russel Crowe??? From his singing in the trailer, I'm not convinced!

Hugh Jackson started off on stage as a singer and dancer before he was talent spotted for the big screen. I saw him in Oklahoma in the West End as Curly and he was lush then.

The film doesn't focus on the singing as such. It's the emotion and theatre of the script.

It's a form that had a little slump but somehow telling a story in song and dance with a smidgen of acting has proved very popular, especially if the tunes leaving you humming along.

Some prefer their musicals in operatic form; it doesn't have as much dancing.

Seen it four times on stage and thought the film was a very good adaption.

It's the greatest musical in history!

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high

And life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

The greatest lyrics you'll find in any musical

Absolutely. And it includes lyrics such as "There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two" and goes on to say how bad it is to smile at them and bat my eyes and "refuse to see it through".

I know you're passionate. Opera and musical theatre are different forms but they do share the same idea of telling a story, end to end, through music - the tunes and the words.

I can listen to the music part of either opera or musical theatre and enjoy that but when I go to see it at the theatre or on film or television the physical action adds to that.

Even with opera that action is choreographed.

"Seen it four times on stage and thought the film was a very good adaption.

It's the greatest musical in history!

I dreamed a dream in time gone by

When hope was high

And life worth living

I dreamed that love would never die

I dreamed that God would be forgiving

The greatest lyrics you'll find in any musical

I think you'll find that accolade belongs to Grease. It's the word, you know.

Absolutely. And it includes lyrics such as "There are worse things I could do, than go with a boy or two" and goes on to say how bad it is to smile at them and bat my eyes and "refuse to see it through".

Is it a thing you'd never do?

No, I never would.

And to cry in front of you would be the worst thing I could do.

*Cue Patty Simcox coming through the doors*

'scuse me. Can you please stop sullying this Les Mis thread with Grease references. "

I'd have gone with "enhance"

One should never inflict one's own prejudices on one's children. You could be depriving them of something they thoroughly enjoy

The operative word is "again". They haven't been deprived, she just prefers them to enjoy it when she is out of earshot."

She could leave the room. I bet she's one of them women that watches Dirty Dancing on a loop.

""Cut out the dancing" should be the slogan

Don't you dare! The dancing in West Side Story, or watching Fred and Ginger or Gene and Cyd makes it all the more enjoyable and you still cry at the weepy ones.

Not sure what you are referring to is "opera"??

Its all about the music !

I'm passionate about this because I've repertoired for this .....

Nope! It's all about the music and the harmonies

We're going to have to have a sing and dance off about this! Even opera has them doing some 'business' when it comes to the visual performance.

C'mon, even you must want to swing around a lamp post if you're humming, Singing In The Rain... do do do do do deh do do do do.

Balls can't work this properly

Stop typing with your balls then.

I know you're passionate. Opera and musical theatre are different forms but they do share the same idea of telling a story, end to end, through music - the tunes and the words.

I can listen to the music part of either opera or musical theatre and enjoy that but when I go to see it at the theatre or on film or television the physical action adds to that.

Even with opera that action is choreographed.

Agreed

It's nice they appreciate music and dancing. Do you make them turn off Dirty Dancing as well?

I have a friend who loved Grease 2. I tried to see what she saw in it but I couldn't find anything appealing. I agree though,worse sequel ever to a great film.

Whoa did you actually read my posts?

I have seen part of the film and decided it wasnt for me. My kids like it so watch it while I'm out..this works excellently for both parties. Is this so hard to understand?

Yes. You can't put them in the same bracket either. Grease is an iconic film. I'm not saying the music is as good as LM but the film was miles better than 2
