Viewing Notes

Still one of the best musical-to-film adaptations. After 26 years we can finally see the full original and much darker ending with the new Blu Ray release. I can see why test audiences hated this original ending, but I loved it. Not going to spoil it here, but it’s great seeing some truly spectacular practical effects finally see the light of day. Fantastic.
