when the film got swallowed by color at first, i was like … okay love. but then they did it so much that i was like okay great another beautiful shot of the beach and the sea that has …. a green filter over it. was not always so flattering. Rodgers & Hammerstein glowed tf up after this show, that’s for sure

Love me a classic Broadway musical, but next time I have to keep in mind that the typical classic Broadway musical is typically overlong. 

Anyway, I find this musical daunting and dense. The actors show incredible stamina with that 1hr 40m first act, which was awe-inducing from the overture up to its finish. The second act, however, I grew a bit restless, but the talent on display was still very much engrossing.

Also, I love the music so much. It soars and it swells in all the right places. Simply captivating. The overture is going straight to my musical theatre playlist.

PS This continues my streak of watching at Proscenium for free. I’ve been watching since the first ever production performed there, which was Pasasalamat by Alice Reyes Dance Philippines! Oh that was good, thank you tita Toots ❤️

The extreme changes in saturation really make a bad movie worse

Another watch for another class. Catchy songs keep this poorly aged musical watchable. Mitzi Gaynor has such an infectious smile when performing, I think a professor told me she was the only one who didn’t have to dub her songs so it made me appreciate that performance even more. I also think this was the only Rogers and Hammerstein play to not tweak any of the music in the adaptation process.

The way they played with color was pretty cool but some of the coloring was pissing me off, maybe it was just the Mexico filter yellow robbing me of beautiful colors.
