bringing cast desire dream john musical musicals opportunity ours produce return three work
It's long been a desire of ours to work with John Travolta and to have the opportunity to produce his return to movie musicals after three decades. It's a dream come true. This is our dream cast for the film, and bringing Travolta back into a musical after 30 years is so gratifying.

Liza is unique and nobody does what she does.
buzz miramax people
It was all very strategic. Miramax wanted the buzz to spread, but slowly, so people would be clamoring for it.
musicals people sell serious spots trailers tried tv
They tried to sell the movie by its story. All the TV spots and trailers were story-driven, because many people still think musicals don't have serious plots.

celebrated fantastic festival few past people premiere reinforce skills tabloid talented toronto
What the Toronto festival premiere did was to reinforce why we wanted to do this. People approached us and said they had no idea how talented Liza was. In the past few years, her skills have been too obscured by the tabloid headlines. It is fantastic to see her being celebrated for what she should be celebrated for.
