I have seen this show as both a movie and as a stage show. Although the movie is magnificent in many ways (not the least of which is Victor Garber), it does lose something by not being live and interacting with the audience. 'You Are the Light of the World' in particular, which in the stage show is used to lead to the intermission, ended by having the actors serving wine to the audience.
Some have asked why Victor Garber did not do more movies. If there is a particular reason, I don't know, but I do know he has a successful Broadway/live theater career in addition to his television career. His performance in "Lend Me a Tenor" was particularly memorable, and I believe was nominated for a Tony award.
