A radio interview with Hugh Jackman, they played him out with a bit of One Day More...you get to hear just about everyone (Hugh, Eddie, Amanda, Sam, Aaron, Russell, Sacha, and Helena). The song starts at about 1:55:50. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p3mmp
Underwhelming. Barks is surprisingly weak. Not the rousing showstopper I had hoped for.
Killers! Murderers! You liars! All of you liars! You're only happy when you can see something die! Why don't you kill yourselves to be happy! You and your God's country! Freedom! I pity you! You are three dear, sweet, dead men! Butchers! Murderers!
I think it sounds quite good. It definitely sounds like it was meant to be seen in the film, though, not heard on a recording, if that makes sense. I do miss Valjean's "One Day More" held out through the next phrase, but I'm sure it wouldn't work visually. I think Aaron Sounds wonderful, but it seems like he was directed to use a British accent, which is what sounds strange. I just wish they played the full song!
Seyfried sounds terrible. did they really need a "name" for Cosette?? I enjoyed it for the most part, the chorus sounds excellent and I'm loving the orchestra.
A Chorus Line played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013.
I like Amanda Seyfried and I trust that I'm gonna like her more in this when I actually see it. Even if I don't, one role, especially not Cosette, would mar this more me. I want to see this so bad I almost want to puke.
saw a screening on weds, and this recording sounds like a rehearsal take. The actual version in the film is much more grand; applause occurred after. This recording is disappointing because it's a bad representation of the film and song.
The version in the film sounded very similar to the broadway version.
