The musical that was made from Once has made more money than the film did. Won all these Tony's etc

So we will no doubt get a la la land musical.
The Once Broadway musical show was outstanding. Took everything I loved about the movie and made it theatrical. It was beautifully transposed for the stage. I'm not a big fan of musical, per se, but Once was exceptional.

It was brilliant. It's still touring the world. Someone somewhere is sitting at home counting cash coming on.

I enjoyed Jackie a lot, even though it's a strange, sort of awkward movie. The score and cinematography were both gorgeous, and it's heartbreaking watching Bobbie Kennedy and John Jr. knowing they're both basically ghosts.
