Haven't seen it in eons, but I bet it SEEMS a lot shorter than Moulin Rouge!
That a guy who'd never directed a musical (Robert Wise, tho I believe Jerome Robbins essentially directed the dancers) was hired rather than a Gene Kelly or Minnelli led to WSS ushering in the era of elephantine musical movies -- as someone wrote of the My Fair Lady film, not so much adapted as embalmed. (with dubbed movie-star actresses, no less)

I still say they're singing "fuckin'" at the end of that song.

My high school used to put on this "cabaret night" every spring -- you had to audition for a performance slot -- and there was always a tradition of an all-male chorus, which did a whole choreographed routine. One year we did "Standin' on the Corner (Watchin' All the Girls Go By)" and the next we did "Gee Officer Krupke."

Also, whenever me & the boy want to say we suspect a girl is a girl-like, we say 'she could be cast as Anybodys,' who I desperatley wanted to play in the HS production. I did not even make it to the chorus.

I like the stage show a lot more than the movie because I don't like the changes they made to the song order and who sang them for the movie.

I was thinking of comedian Bob Smith's line about how the stories of musicals all stink, and that he lives in fear of someone opening a libretto bar.

West Side Story does not feature an old man having 800 orgasms in a row, I rest my case.
