How has The Lord of the Rings musical been reviewed in Toronto?
458809
It's gotten mostly poor reviews that I've seen. They seem to like the sets, costumes etc. but as to the actual play not so good. Plus tickets are pretty expensive, can't say I think it's worth it.

Excellent movie!\n\nWith the most singable songs. Blame Canada was nominated as Best Song at the Oscars.\n\nMaybe they'll show Saddam Hussein the movie before they kill him. At least he'll not be eaten by pigs.

You should try writing to the theatre in which Beauty and the Beast is being performed at. Send the CD insert in an envelope with a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope and a letter explaining how much your daughter admires the show. I've never written to this particular show, but I once wrote to the theatre where Wicked was being performed and the cast signed a Playbill for me. I hope that will work!

If we’re talking “blockbuster” aka ticket sales the answer is absolutely marketing.  The movies came out at the end of the year so they didn't compete with the regular summer blockbusters.  They attached the movie to various products/companies (anyone remember those Burger king glowing goblets or sneak peek trailers on the WB).  The website offered everything from free downloads, interviews, etc. It wasn’t the acting.  At the time of the original theatrical release of Fellowship of the Ring most people only knew about Liv Tyler.  Sadly Tolkien wasn’t the draw either.  Book sales peaked after the movies.  And it was not the director (um, King Kong??)

Absolutely fantastic!  I've seen them twice.  I love their performance of Carmina Burana in the encores.  That's the way it should be done. :)

My friend's gone to see them tonight - she really wanted to go because of From First To Last, but even though they pulled out she still went. Half my college went, but I didn't know about it till it was too late.\n\nIt's the Hull Ice Arena gig, and judging by the text I got off her not long ago, it was pretty good.

I was at the N. American premiere at the Toronto Film Fest. It was great. Tender, raw and touching. It terms of the technicals, great cinematography, better than in 21 grams, and that had beautiful shots. The whole crowd clapped so loud at the end, gave Inarritu and the cast including Pitt a standing ovation. I know what your thinking you have to because they are present, but I have been to a bunch and this does not always happen. Serious Oscar contender.

Yes, I saw it.\nI was OK. That's the highest praise I can give it, and I'm a big fan of musicals.

Not real. The right to the Hobbit are in the works right now. Rumor has it that Peter Jackson will be doing it.
