I have seen this musical twice on stage and own the original Broadway cast recording on CD & Vinyl. I love this music. So I was a little nervous that the movie wouldn't live up to it's hype. I shouldn't have worried...
This is a wonderful movie - made even better because of the presence of Jennifer Hudson. She is marvelous! I've seen a lot of movie musicals and never once have I felt the need to applaud after a song - I applauded twice - for both of Hudson's numbers. I also had tears streaming down my cheek during "And I Am Telling You..."
Beyonce does a very good job as well and after his performance, I have finally forgiven Eddie Murphy for "Party All The Time."
