I remember the movie version with Michael Douglas - the sort of casting that they would have argued to themselves was minor but sunk it because he's so obviously not a dancer. I also recall a critic saying the film was up against it because the story was a front stage story, not a back stage one, which work better in movies. And there's the fact the story is an ensemble piece really - the Zac-Cassie "romance" is just one of several subplots. Zac is a bit sadistic isn't he with a Big Brother vote off.
Anyway, it was great to see - terrific dancing. Some of the songs were a bit "whatever" but it's a spectacle, well performed by the cast. I laugh how all these dancers regard acting as a back up plan.
