The background, among other things, is an interesting detail...
Urutengangana17 June 2019
It won't remain unnoticed, despite being the silent accompaniment, as it constantly changes and revolves, with a projector somehow making it seem as if the scene (water, often) is real.

It is something that ends up having an impressive result, sets up quite an atmosphere, along with the lighting... even the abstract sets at the end are simply interesting, although later on they end up making artistic sense.

Even the efficiency with which the stage was modified was compelling to notice... people mostly wheeled them out, but they did it not in a very intrusive manner; lighting (or lack of it) was also in this case used to create shadows or hide some background machinations, and in the end it is as if it is an entirely different theatre.

One of the best musicals I've seen!

Warning: Spoilers
Even though this is not the original musical movie, it's still a very good adaptation. (I hope that IMDb.com is talking about the original broadway cast). Anyway, the music is great, the set is pretty cool, the costumes are dapper and elegant ( especially Lise's shoes), but the story is where it's at. I love the story for this musical. How it shows us that out of the darkness of the world (in this case ww2),we'll find the light through laughter,music,companionship, and yes even love. I also like this one part in the play where milo Davenport ( the blonde American woman) and henri ( the dapper French man) are willing to let go of jerry and lise after finding out that they do not love them. In that moment milo and henri realize that when you truly,deeply, love someone, that you have to be willing to let go of them for good if you want them to be happy. I also love the parts where Lise and jerry talk and interact and get to know each other, and eventually fall in love. This isn't the Gene Kelly version But it's still a very good musical and I love how beautiful and true everything is. All I can say is who can ask for anything more?
