Great Performances: My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies (1999)
A Night Out On the Town Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!
Absolute must see. Every performance is amazing. Definitely a DIVAS night, and although they may all be trying to outsing each other, its impossible to compare them because they all killed their songs. Best performances: Marrin Mazzie -Bewitched-, Linda Eder -Man of La Mancha-, Jennifer Holiday - And Im Telling You...- Debra Monk - Everybodys Girl, an AUDRA MCDONALD!! -Down With Love. Every performance was excellent, although I think they could have left out Andrea McArdle's -Tomorrow- did she really have to sing THAT song? Other than that, it was an evening that would have blown you away if you were there and still is unbelievable on vhs/dvd. Tony Roberts and Robert Morse's intro was witty, and it couldn't have been hosted by any other person than the infamous Julie Andrews. Excellent!!!!!!
The Wonderful World of Disney: Annie (1999)
Served its purpose well!
This movie did just what it set out to do: remain more true to the Broadway version not the fantasized movie version, left out all the Herbert Hoover/depression times, and created a fun lovable movie for kids as well as adults. It was a little short, but they made up for that with an ALL STAR cast mostly made up of Broadway Tony Award winners - Audra McDonald, Kristen Chenowith, Alan Cumming...and excellent talent - Kathy Bates, Victor Garber... My only complaint? They didn't kiss in the end - whats that about?!
Who doesn't want the sappy ending? You know you all do. Other than that, it was great. Perfect to watch with kids.
