Something to Sing About: The Inspiring Story of the Sydney Lesbian and Gay Choir»rank: 24930starring: Something to Sing About
: essential video:This faithful broadcast TV remake of the classic Jule Styne/Stephen Sondheim musical looms as a career triumph for top-lined Bette Midler--and a bittersweet measurement of how far mainstream film and TV have retreated from the glories of musical theater.
