I was just happy to see that Colin Quinn's character still exists in this universe.

He doesn't even go here!

That's too reasonable. It's obviously a conspiracy.

Yep.

I've heard people say this about his Disney work — does that extend to his other musicals? I can't say I've noticed vagueness in particular. Forced rhymes and anachronisms, yes.

Why?

The songs from Pete's Dragon are the best thing about it.

I have a feeling most people, those writers included, don't know that Jim Cummings subs in for part of Be Prepared. He does a great Jeremy Irons.

YES! I've always thought that too.

Can anyone explain what the line change is from the original soundtrack to the stage version? Pronunciation/prosody aside, it sounds like a completely different word.

So, all roles that haven't yet been recast?

Rathbone and Bruce for me too, though maybe strangely I've only heard the radio plays, none of their films. I really like Cumberbatch (and I'm keen to check out Johnny Lee Miller and especially Jeremy Brett) but I don't think RDJ got it at all. I've read all the books too, so it's seems strange that I wouldn't prefer…

Yep.

Sure, but Forget Her is a legit amazing song.

The first time I heard Yellow, where his voice sounds like it's cracking every time he sings in falsetto, I kept thinking, "Why would they use that take of the song? Was that the best one?"

True, though there's at least one interview where he lightheartedly refers to himself as a 'chanteuse'.

He was great because of his songwriting. His musicianship is almost beside the point.

I always had a similar reaction to this album for the first 10 years or so I'd been hearing it. It really took being out the spotlight and out of the shadow of his death that I naturally picked it up one day and listened to as just an album. Some great stuff, great performances but I still kind of think there's a bit…

Do songs in 6/8 automatically just feel more like driving songs?

Unfortunately, that sounds plausible.
