Glenn Close was far too old, couldn't sing, and did not look soft and sweetly naive, but rather brusque.
The only other cast member almost as bad as Close was the actress who played "Bloody Mary." She was funny looking, could not sing, and seemed downright evil.
Gone was the comedy, which was needed. Not having painted backdrops instead of sets was probably the only improvement on the original. Whoever was responsible for this seemed to be trying to screw up the story line as much as possible in the name of originality.
It was AWFUL. I will be shocked if this one is EVER repeated. It should be destroyed.
