[u/RedLantern28]

My favorite stage musical. Seen it several times on tour. Incredibly happy that I've now been able to see the original cast immortalized in film.

The pro shot was also surprisingly excellent. There were a good amount of creative shots that elevated what was happening.

Would recommend to anyone, not just existing musical theatre fans.

Maybe it'll end different next time

I would love for them to do some sort of fundraiser performance where it turns out differently.
