Interesting!
Some comments:
Just hate the way Janet looks. The hair, the clothes, the excess of make up...just awfull. She does sound better than on the CD though. Although the songs are in a lower key too. The dance sequence in Don't wanna fall in love also looks a bit over the top to me, but I'm acostumed to the European way of doing things and here there's not a lot of dance (thank God :lol: )
I didn't imagined the Jabberwack (or should I say Jim Steinman? lol) that way at all. I was thinking of something more round and fat and snobish.
Love the girl playing Chloe (who's name I can't recall). She's lovely and gorgeous.
and of course Nikki. She's simply AMAZING. Pitty they didn't showed the Queen she's also brilliantly hilarious :lol:

I agree - don't really like the Jabberwhocky part, but I'm VERY disappointed with the way that "Finding Wonderland" sounds - everything from the choral backgrounds, the extremely low / no orchestration to Dacal herself....ugh.

Talk about disappointing. Geez. I have seen SP1 SP2, Dracula, Civil War and J&H multiple times. Snippet of Wonderland makes me want to stay away. Looks like a Wicked wannabee. Unattractive costumes on diet needy people who shout instead of sing. Dracula had lovely costumes and voices.
J&H was recorded with Hasselhoff. Any reason why Dracula or SP2 did not become available on DVD? Dracula allegedly lost significant cash wouldn't a DVD make the production break even? ;)

Wonderland is much better than the clips show (appart form Janet IMO).
As for the DVDs, Dracula on B'way was a flop. No DVD would save that. The only productions that could have given a DVD were the St.Gallen and the Graz ones. Unfortunatly none of them released them.
There's a Cast Recording of Graz though.
As for SP, it was filmed for the Lincoln Center but no one wanted to pay the royalties to release it on DVD.
