| From BroadwayWorld.com: Music producer Matt Sullivan, who has worked on a majority of the movie musicals that have been released this century, told BroadwayWorld, “Bill [Condon] wrote a beautiful screenplay that is really reverent to the Broadway show and follows the story beats. The main big songs, ‘Where You Are,’ ‘Gimme Love,’ they're there. And then we have three songs that were resurrected — the show originally went to SUNY Purchase, and there were three songs that were in that version that we actually resurrected and put into the movie. So it's the original plus.”... Although this concept required some songs from the Broadway score to be left out of the adaptation, writer/director Bill Condon stands by the decision. “Take a look at 'Cabaret,' the movie,” he told BroadwayWorld on the red carpet. “'Cabaret,' the show is one of the greatest shows ever written. It has never gone away. 'Cabaret,' the movie is, to my mind, the greatest movie musical ever made. It is a radical reinterpretation of that show. These things are two different meanings, you know? And yes, we all love — I love every single song in that show. But for people to start complaining about losing 'Dressing Them Up' and we're in a world where people are used to musicals, why can't they sing in a prison cell? That's not the movie I wanted to make. I didn't want to have singing prisoners singing 'Over the Wall.' You know, that's another movie. But I wish they would wait until they saw the movie to pass judgment.” |
