| Time is up for Close. She barely croaked through her last performances. She does not have the vocal ability or range to sing the role. And it is a musical. Not going to happen with her.... |

| Well, regardless of her stamina doing the show 8x a week (I'll admit she didn't sound great when I saw it), I'd bet she could easily sing the role well over the course of multiple days/ weeks in a studio to record the soundtrack. And post-production would definitely work in her benefit. | |

| Such a movie would be a terrible mistake. Most of the songs are stage waits, i.e. they do not move the action forward; they repeat an idea over and over. Cut the songs, and you'd have a fine movie. Maybe Billy Wilder could...oh, er...that WAS a fine movie! The minute they put the material in front of the cameras, close ups - Glenn Close-ups! - will convey the story "With One Look' literally, and the songs will draaaaaaaaggggggg. My bet? Will only happen by a collective act of lunacy by Hollywood producers. So it might. |
