Re: Dance Thread
The gymnastics video is great because you see a ton of jobbers do a couple of flairs with good form, and then the end has an Olympic gymnast just do a ridiculous number at a ridiculous speed. And you realize that the difference between him and the rest of them is like the difference between the normal gymnasts and all of those breakdancers who drag their legs on the floor and can't manage to keep their legs extended. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@

I wanted to post the clip of Baryshnikov on the Muppets doing tap to White Hat and Tails, but apparently that's not up anymore. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@

A highlight is the iconic dance from a Chorus Line at 1:40.
I think NPH is a better singer but Hugh Jackman is a better dancer. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@

Re: Dance Thread
Both of the two nominated revivals had dance heavy numbers. Of course dancing is more typical in older musicals, so there's that.
Anything Goes, with a long tap dance number.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (poor Daniel Radcliffe looks so short even though he's 5'7", I believe).

I appreciate the talent in that last video but I still want to punch radcliffe in the face. Seriously, I WANT, like, I've never wanted to hit a celebrity so hard.

Haha, it's so weird to see him in shit like that after the Harry Potter stuff. I think it suits him better. He's pretty terrible in the movies. _________________

Re: Dance Thread
It's actually very impressive that he went on to do Equus, and then with no musical theatre experience, take the lead in something where he'll be doing 8 performances a week with quite a bit of singing and dancing.
I really only like the first Harry Potter movie and the most recent one. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@
