i wonder who and how and more importantly why the decision to call richard attenborough to direct the most singular sensation to hit broadway in many many year . he an academy award win director . yes and he win for ghandi you moron . jeremy iron be an academy winning actor do you want to see him play rocky balboa . he have experience with musical . really . oh what a lovely war have you forget . to answer your question and yes . the film be a disappointment and clear and simple . not an ounce of the live energy survive the heavy handedness of the proceeding . every character dance beautifully they be charm but their projection be theatrical . i felt nothing . but when i saw it on stage i felt everything . the film should have be cast with star and unknown and newcomer but star with compel unforgettable face even the most invisible of the group . great actor who could dance beautifully . well michael douglas be in it . true i forget i be absolutely wrong and you be absolutely right . nothing like a richard attenborough michael douglas musical .
