The cast was really good and as many times as I have seen the stage version, I noticed new things b/c of some of the shots the camera was able to do. However, the camera was so focused on close up shots of faces, that I felt a lot of things were lost as well. It's a stage showing, it's made for you to see everything on stage. And while some close-ups were great so you could catch things, that's not the only thing that a camera can do. And you don't have to be THAT close up. It actually took away some of the magic for me. I could tell when one actress had a cough drop and you could see people's teeth fillings. Quite unnecessary.
