It was a powerful and moving film. The actors sang live on the sets as opposed to the usual recording/syncing later method. It is full of Christian imagery and themes. A great show. Take the spouse or if you dont have one then take the neighbor’s spouse.
Got to see the play in my younger years loved it. The movie was stunning, I didn't think they could pull it off. The themes about redemption and the Revolution against the tyranny of the Crown and the elite compared to the poor (French Croney Capitalist anyone?), are somethings to ponder given our backdrop today.
