Could not rave enough about her" "We need Jennifer Tilly to produce this for Broadway, and she can star in the Lena role. She would be perfect for that role, and when she's done she can celebrity cast it with great NON singer comedians." #hollywood #singingintherain #lgbt+ #musical #broadway

    Funny Girl - PART 2

    Welcome Back “gorgeous” to PART 2 of our review on 1968’s Funny Girl. This film marks review # 16 of the AFI list of Greatest Movie Musicals of all time. Funny Girl is an American biographical musical film directed by William Wyler; with music and lyrics by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill and written by Isobel Lennart, adapted from her book for the stage musical of the same title. It is loosely based on the life and career of comedienne Fanny Brice and her stormy relationship with entrepreneur and gambler Nicky Arnstein. The film stars Barbra Streisand (in her film debut reprising her Broadway role) as Fanny Brice, Omar Sharif, Kay Medford, Anne Francis, Walter Pidgeon, Lee Allen and Mae Questel. “The drama on Broadway with the revival starring Beanie Feldstein ‘slash’ Julie Benko ‘slash’ Lea Michele – was everything and more. It was a legacy of itself” “This Swan Song?! Can we talk about filler moment? There could have been a better written scene here or better yet, just Cornet Man right?" “These men and their “Pride” of not coping with their wives being the bread winner … its so dated but also, is it dated? I think there are a lot of men that still have this issue” “Do you think Barbra will ever produce and direct a remake of this film? Or is it not in the cards”

    Funny Girl - PART 1

    Well don’t even think about “raining on our Parade” this week … as we shake our Fanny and review 1968’s Funny Girl. (did you see what I did there?) This film marks review # 15 of the AFI list of Greatest Movie Musicals of all time. Funny Girl is an American biographical musical film directed by William Wyler; with music and lyrics by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill and written by Isobel Lennart, adapted from her book for the stage musical of the same title. It is loosely based on the life and career of comedienne Fanny Brice and her stormy relationship with entrepreneur and gambler Nicky Arnstein. The film stars Barbra Streisand (in her film debut reprising her Broadway role) as Fanny Brice, Omar Sharif, Kay Medford, Anne Francis, Walter Pidgeon, Lee Allen and Mae Questel. "I feel so many pop stars have to prove themselves as real Actors. I think Barbra did it with this movie, Cher has done it, I feel like Lady Gaga is still fighting that battle. Its almost like they have to achieve more to be taken seriously" "Here we go again with the beautiful costumes and stylists that are working on Barbra's whole look... is this really the1920's or is this 1970's style that is hinting at the 20's. I think we take liberties because we are expecting to see BARBRA in a Barbra film" "I will say, when people hear and think of 'Don't Rain On My Parade" ... I think they think of Fanny Brice and Funny Girl, but when they hear 'People' they think specifically of Barbra Streisand"

    Cabaret - PART 2

    Welcome back to PART 2 of this week's episode as we review Bob Fosse’s 1972 movie; Cabaret . This film marks review # 14 of the AFI list of Greatest Movie Musicals of all time. written by Jay Presson Allen with Music and Lyrics by Kander and Ebb. The movie was adapted from the 1966 stage musical of the same name. The film stars Liza Minnelli, Michael York, Helmut Griem, Fritz Wepper, Marisa Berenson and reprising his role from Broadway as The M.C., the one and only Joel Grey. "The way that they shift around any mention of Queerness in this movie is baffling. How do we say it without saying it, even though Brian admits he's screwing Max. And there was NO THREESOME PEOPLE!" "This Donna Summer bellbottoms, Studio 54 outfit of Sally's during the Cabaret number, is just not it for me. Prove me wrong. Was this a style in berlin in the 30's?" "Have you ever heard of a MPDG in movies before? The "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" is a cinematic trope often characterized by a quirky, free-spirited, and bubbly personality, frequently paired with short, pixie-cut hair or eccentric styling to emphasize her "not like other girls" aesthetic. These characters often serve as a catalyst for a brooding male protagonist to embrace life. News to me!"

The film stars Liza Minnelli, Michael York, Helmut Griem, Fritz Wepper, Marisa Berenson and reprising his role from Broadway as The M.C., the one and only Joel Grey. "The camera work and cinematography alone, it is very reminiscent of a documentary at times and feels so personal"  "I wish that when they showed snippets of this film, that they used some of the ACTING scenes with Liza and not just her singing scenes because this is an Academy Award well deserved." "Diegetic vs Non-Diegetic ... thank you Merriam-Webster! Shout out to @mtwriterguy for your deep dive into this subject." https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/musical-theatre-writer-guy/id1553811107
