The music is phenomenal. Which is the only reason this pitiful excuse of a show reached and lasted so long on the stage. Then someone got the idea to film a stage performance of a difficult show and put it on screen to capture more money from movie goers. Problem is movie goers want more from their entertainment than can be captured on film. The end product: stage performances boxed in on a stage that has no imagination (even tho the whole play deals with people using their imagination). Consequently, it was a critical and commercial failure. Just a poor film --- except for the music.
