Do you hear the people sing?

Provided you have speakers on your computer, then yes. Hear them you do. Well not Hugh and Anne specifically...
I know I shouldn't be this excited for a movie. It will all end in tears!

God, that song always gives me chills: "Will you join in our crusade?/Who will be strong and stand with me/Somewhere beyond the Barricade/There is a world we long to see." CANNOT WAIT to cry my eyes out at that moment, because it's going to happen. Nothing like a musical to really get at the frustrations of the original 99%.
I have never seen the musical, but this is one of the few songs I am familiar with (and a very good one, in my opinion). That said, I don't really know what to think of this clip. Hooper wanted to actually record the songs while the actors sang while filming, right? You think that will work? Do you see it working here?
I too have never seen the musical, but I'm stoked for it! Excited that they're recording all of the songs while they film, instead of doing them in the studio. Best Supporting Actress 2012 to Anne Hathaway!
Conrad --well, it's less of a clip than someone surreptitiously filming the filming of so I imagine the bulk of the season is that off screen chorus with a few closeups of Hugh & Anne. (short hair on her always weirds me out a little.)
MattyD -- a tearjerker it will be if it's any good. i'm trying to talk myself down. love hte stage musical so much.
Why aren't more people commenting?? The Internet goes CRAY for a picture, but when they get some actual footage....*crickets* *crickets*. WEIRD
