I've just watched the DVD of the broadway version of this, with a huge epic set by robin wagner, and julie barely off the stage giving everything. Crikey no wonder she had problems after a long run of this. But I just cannot imagine Raquel Welch in the role....I tried but I just can't see here dancing like that, or playing the comedy, let singing with those notes. Did anyone manage to see this show, and with Raquel in it.
Shame it had never made it over here, though I gather there was a small scale production. Who do you think we would cast in the quintet of lead roles. I much prefer this show to La Cage. It's much more honest about the confusing relationships and about sex than La Cage - I find that show all a bit too manipulative and brash. La Cage's plea for tolerance is laid on heavier than the usual Cagelles' make up where as V/V has much more warmth and fun and heart. I'd love to see it over here. It went out on tour didn't it, and I think Julie A did the pre Broadway but who took it on the road? must have been scaled down somewhat.
