I have waited a long, long time for this musical to be produced. Strangely, although I was first put off by the casting, it grew on me. I thought the singing was more than adequate, the visuals outstanding and all in all, a very elaborate production. I have seen several negative reviews and cannot understand the bashing of the music or the lyrics. People who are not fans of musicals simply will not enjoy the lavishness of this movie.I remember the good old days of musicals and would be delighted to see them come back if they can equal the quality of this one. How pleasant to not see blood, gore, bombs, drug addicts etc. This is one excellent way to spend an evening and I hope many people will be open minded enough to give a musical a chance.
