I’d become death for it

I need that!

Honestly have it playing on loop 🤣

Is it true they used the original ending and not the one in the film?

@@PowerGlove79 what's the original ending?

@@nynave300 From Wikipedia "Most dramatically, the original ending was entirely redone after test audiences reacted negatively to it. That ending featured Ernest, after he has fled Lisle's party, meeting a bartender (Tracey Ullman) who helps him fake his death to evade Madeline and Helen. The two women encounter Ernest and the bartender 27 years later, living happily as a retired couple while Madeline and Helen give no sign that they are enjoying their eternal existence"

@@PowerGlove79sorta they are visiting their own graves and they see an old Ernest (even though they thought he died) with his wife and it’s revealed he is going to be buried like a few feet away from them

Saw it last night, absolutely fantastic

pretty sure its 80 second ! :) hope this helps !😁

Yes. Best way to describe it. There’s also a ballad at the end similar to the finale of War Paint.

​​@@bnorem09You hit the nail on the head! The finale was absolutely giving "Face to Face." I felt there was a touch of Beetlejuice in it too. Especially with the way they started both acts with thunder and lightning. I have no idea where to place "For the Gaze" though. 😂

@@serenitysfirefly Definitely got the Beetlejuice vibe too. “For the Gaze” was giving me “I Don’t Wanna Show Off” from Drowsy Chaperone!

She’d make an excellent Lilith

My money's on Helluva Boss, as they have a lot more opportunity for one-off celebrity guest stars.

Those are their microphones

Can’t wait to see your original show!

This looks hilarious and way more like “broadway” than most of the other movie adaptations I’ve seen lately

Most of the greatest musicals of all time are based on existing source material (Oklahoma, Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, Spring Awakening, etc). Musical adaptations are nothing new, and there's nothing inherently wrong with them. With that said, I saw this show in Chicago and it is in fact pretty bad and a definite step down from the okay movie.

This comment won't age well.

Grew up watching the movie all the time, and it is one of my absolute favorites. Was skeptical about the musical adaptation, but I saw the show yesterday and it exceeded every expectation I had. I have quite literally never laughed harder watching a show, and the vocals were beyond incredible. Not to mention the amazing costumes, set design, choreography etc. It’s not perfect but it’s FUN, the performers are masters at what they do and it does justice to the film. Give it a chance before you judge a whole show based on a 1 minute clip taken while it’s still in previews.

The source material is foundational to me. And this looks simply fantastic.

Will I get cancelled Michael? Just seen their stunt casting for the Isabella Rossolini character and her voice is high-pitched and shrill with none of the mystery, gravitas or enigma of the film’s character. Maybe if you’re a theater ‘Glee’ sort of person this sort of stuff floats your boat - but unless each song is EXCEPTIONAL and MEMORABLE (which they really don’t seem to be) then the entire production comes across as a cash grab.

@@ah7910 did you even watch the musical yet?
