The Big Gay Musical.


The BFI Theatre on the South Bank in London was packed on the afternoon I went to see The Big Gay Musical.
As with all movies associated with Casper Andreas I expected it to be entertaining, witty, comical with just a hint of sadness attached to it. I was not disappointed at all. He had co-directed this along with Fred M. Caruso. This joint venture proved they were a formidable duo.
Casper had introduced the movie on other showings but had had to fly back to the US so Brian Robinson - the Press Officer at the BFI Theatre - stepped up on stage to do the honours.
He told the packed house that The Big Gay Musical had been the favourite of the whole group of gay themed movies that had been shown at the festival over the past few days.
The lights dimmed and the movie started. Black and white to start with which gave it a 1930s feel and I just knew it was going to be an enjoyable ride from start to finish when Casper playing a small but important part asks columnist Michael Musto as he dashes out from an extremely bad show if there is anything he would like. Screaming hysterically "I need a big gay musical" as he rushes on his way the screen bursts into colour and a most wonderful production number with handsome near naked men wearing angels' wings and boots tap dance across the screen .
The theatre audience, clapped, laughed and cheered throughout the movie.
Yes, it's campy, even a bit cheesy but its dramatic and it's filled to the brim with muscular bodies and show tunes that get your feet tapping along with them and then when a very limp wristed God appears played to the hilt by Steve Hayes and he creates Adam and Steve to live in the Garden of Eden after chasing Adam and Eve out well.......
The plot has been described in many reviews so it is suffice to say that it is a movie that one must see too appreciate to the full. Words just do not do it justice. The talent is outstanding and all can dance, sing and act. A powerful combination. Many are from the Broadway stage and to name just a few - Daniel Robinson was in Hairspray, Joey Dudding did Gypsy, La Cage Aux Folles and Chorus Line and others appeared in Tricks, Wicked and even South Pacific.
Sheer entertainment from start to finish.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just o.k., March 28, 2011

This review is from: The Big Gay Musical (DVD)

Before I start I will clear one thing: I'm NOT a fan of musicals.

And maybe because of that and few other things I cannot find the reason why this movie should get more than 3 stars.
The plot seems to be a bit thin (two gay actors Eddie and Paul try to deal with their lifes, while preparing the big opening nite for a musical they both star in). Since this piece is called "a musical" we (must) listen to songs which are used in the show.
The problem here is that some of the plots appear out of blue and disappear without any explanation. Check the one with a boyfriend, who runs away because of an anonymous message about Paul being HIV positive.
WHo told him?
Why he/she did it?
Why he (the boyfriend) doesn't want to talk to our singing hero...
And the questions keep coming.

Acting/singing. Acting is typical for this kind of independent movies - just o.k.
Somebody wrote in his review that even the quality of singing isn't good. Well, I will disagree. It is not the top of the world, but it isn't bad too. And because of that I am giving it the 3rd star.

My advice? Rent before you buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and very touching, April 15, 2010

Alec Scudder "Johnny Joe" (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Big Gay Musical (DVD)

I have to say first that I was kind of skeptical about this film before I watch it. I was afraid that could be another waste of my time to watch an empty and meaningless gay comedy like "Eating Out 3" or "Another Gay Movie 2" but thankfully I was totally wrong.

In fact it's just the opposite of that. A great comedy, filled with hilarious stage moments, but also a very human and touching movie about mankind (in all its diversity) A little unreal at the end but that's OK! I'm kind of sick of watching too many sad endings in gay themed films. We need a lot more positivity in the portrait of gay lifestyle. So... it's great to have a mushy but happy ending FOR A CHANGE! That way... later you could turn off your tv with a happy smile on your face for a change. Great script, good acting, good music, beautiful guys... what more can we ask?
