Same time as you! I remember singing the songs, and had the soundtrack memorized. It was part of my growing up also. Would watch it whenever it came on TV. Still sing all the songs when it comes on. I try to harmonize like the cast, but with more disastrous results. I love the songs, and the "hippie Fame kids", great way to word it. (smile) And Walter3rd, you are not alone! -
LaLa Land, Anyone?
overtherainbows replied to mariaki's topic in MAD ABOUT MUSICALS: THE HISTORY OF THE HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS
Well said! Was hoping for so much with La La Land and was underwhelmed. Then I saw "The Greatest Showman" and it blew me away! I was surprised there was no discussion on that film yet. And to think both movies had songs by Pasek and Paul. La La Land and Greatest Showman are so different. To bring up one more movie, I always loved Newsies (in both formats) and seeing the Broadway performance in the movie theaters was awesome. I am so glad they did that. Was hoping that would spark a trend also. Perhaps Fathom events could record a Broadway performance and release it to the great -
Badges? BADGES?
overtherainbows replied to Lanin's topic in MAD ABOUT MUSICALS: THE HISTORY OF THE HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS
Thanks for helping understand what to do with the badges. I saved them for just in case. I like your ideas "crysalong". Curious about week 4 badge also. Are we not getting one because we get the completion certificate? Will keep watching this thread for a response. -
1. That is a tough call, her performance in the film being reflective suits the movie more. I don’t think being more expressive would work. It further demonstrates her apprehensive love of Nicky, you can feel her being swept away, but unsure. The song draws attention to that point. I think sung any other way would be too much for the scene and purpose. 2. Their placement during the song is key, how they move towards, and away from each other at points. It shows the multiple layers to their relationship. Fanny’s stance is more open, like willing and ready to love someone, whil

1. I have not seen Gaslight, but I watched A Star is Born during this class. One common theme is the focus on the actor. Both actors, James Mason and Judy Garland were largely featured, there were closeups and moments when both could shine and emote what they were feeling at that moment. You felt their triumph or anguish, it was evident. There were moments where the actors could really act out their part. Many musicals simply skimmed that piece, not all, but many did. So many also had more happy-go-lucky themes. In My Fair Lady, there are many of the same shots, you see the light and da

Does anyone know what is meant by "bundles"? I didn't see any when I followed the link. Are they under a specific tab? Thanks! -
Other Musicals

Love the "Portobello Road" scene in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Great call out! -
Great topic! My faves are: Hunchback of Notre Dame - "Out There", "Bells of Notre Dame". Some has already posted about this one, agree completely, love Stephen Schwartz! Prince of Egypt - the music on this soundtrack is amazing! It reminds me of Fiddler on the Roof. Prince of Egypt also has great vocal talent singing the songs. "Through Heaven's Eyes" is my favorite! Stephen Schwartz again! I think I sense a pattern. (smile) Grew up loving Jungle Book and Aristocats, jazzy and cool! New favorites include: "How Far I'll Go" and "We know the Way" - Moan
