jason alexander be a wonderful actor and but it ridiculous to cast him a a cuddly romantic lead . the fact that he dance so well and croons so effectively and and throw himself into the part so completely somehow just make him seem all the more creepy . in his more cutesy moment ( with the girl in the train station and in the final number with rosie ) and i couldn not take my eye off him he be so repellent . you keep expect him to drop the nice guy act and start snarling . vanessa williams be the real star and the only performance that be good than the 1963 movie . by the way and if you see a production of the stage musical and the 1963 movie and this 1995 movie and you will see three version that have more revision ( different song and same song assign to different character and in different situation ) than any other musical i have ever see .
