Title: Loved the casting... but disappointed
Review: As a brown mom with a brown child and a FREAK for the '65 version, I REALLY wanted to like this version. However, I hate it.I loved the sets for this production... Bernadette Peters, Whoopi, Victor Garber, Jason Alexander are all terrific. GREAT camera work on Ten Minute Ago - you feel like ~you~ are waltzing and dizzy with love too...I, for one, LOVED the multiracial casting... for the techies out there, let's assume, the prince was adopted - okay? I LIKED that my child would see a multiracial world where ~she~ could indeed be the princess who gets the prince (instead of it always going to the blonde or white girl).The singing is bad. Brandy ruined In My Own Little Corner. Whitney overacts and distracts. Sigh.I have soundtrack to the original '57 version which I play a lot for my little girl (who loves it).
Is the review positive or negative?
