Mother sings.
Still, a word to the wise: these
people are hard-core in other
ways. I suspect many of my fel
low watchers knew the movie
backward and forward. I almost
wished the entire movie had
subtitles, since the viewers
sometimes couldn’t contain
their smart remarks. I couldn’t
tell what Maria said when the
Captain asked her why she came
back, because some jerk in the
front row yelled, “It was the
schnitzel!” Mostly, though, the
audience .was respectful and did
n’t make as many distracting
and/or off-coor comments as I
expected, possibly because I saw
a matinee showing with a lot of
kids.
Personally, it’s beyond my
grasp that someone wouldn’t be
excited about this. Whether
you’ve seen this classic musical
once or one hundred times, or
even if you’ve never heard of it,
you’ll love the excuse to bellow
out “Climb Every Mountain.”
It’s like singing in the shower,
just in the dark, in costume,
