In New York City…...........There Is A School…......Where Any Dream…......Is Possible….....!!!!!!!
Wow, as you watch the trailer, these are the words that are thrown, or should I say catapulted at you!! Now it’s either going to be one of those “Eye of the Tiger/ Rocky Balboa” moments or you are just going to larf your way off the back of the sofa!!
For me it initially started as the latter, though as the trailer continued I found myself quickly righted, with composure and drawn into a world where you suspend belief, where there is a reality beyond the walls that house you, but to you that reality is rigid, robotic and formulaic. You however want to sing and dance through life, as if you are a dolphin gliding through a shoal of unsuspecting fish!!
I’ve been there, New York City a few years ago, not the High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts but the wonderful American Academy of Dramatic Arts was my home and my family, a crazy bunch of guys and gals who all wanted to be stars!!
So it’s with affection that I trained my eyes on the trailer and of course with an objective mind watched what on the surface appeared to be a great remake of the original movie of the 80’s.
Saw it last week and was not disappointed, it’s well overdue, with a spate of dance movies of recent this one was the epicentre. Check it out ya all, it’s very refreshing:
