Pros: hugh jackman and maureen lipman

Cons: dubbed

i felt cheated buying this dvd. I assumed it was a stage performance, it cheats, it is filmed on stage but all the music is prerecorded and the actors lipsync ( not very well at times) to the cast recording. the change in acoustic between speech an...d singing is jarring and the voices and balance never change even though the actors are dancing and moving all over the stage. It is neither a movie nor a real record of a stage performance. It comes across as just a slick package which lacks integrity. A document of a stage performance should not be prerecorded.
