''Condon had to jettison SOME of the show's songs''? From the reviews and feature stories I've read, it sounds like Condon jettisoned MANY of the show's songs. Kander & Ebb wrote about 2 dozen tunes for the Tony-winning stage show, so if 11 remain in the movie, that means about half of the score is gone. I'm still excited to see it, but I imagine I'll miss numbers like ''Dressing Them Up.'' Below, IndieWire's critic is dressing it down with a grade of C+. |
