I had seen the stage play 5 times in different cities. Each performance was spectacular, but the movie added a whole new dimension with real scenery. It doubled my enjoyment. It was so wonderful it actually brought tears to my eyes when it first began and of course I couldn't help but sing along, but I didn't think dancing in the isle in a movie theater was a good idea. I will be going back to see it many times and try to get them to "Crank Up The Volume"
