The stuff they cut. The stuff they added. The women are all great, but Denis O'Hare is especially great: weird and wonderful. I saw him play Guiteau in ASSASSINS on B'way, and he's the best. Catch it if you can. It's also on DVD Tuesday.

Originally Posted By Imagineer This I tried to watch it, but I got bored. I wanted Carol Burnett to be more funny like she used to be. I know it was a musical, but it seemed they danced and sung every two minutes and there was hardly time enough for story. It didn't make me laugh.
