Yes, as awful as the screen adaptations of 'Nine' and "A Chorus Line'.

Ouch!

 

[Malcolm R]

But not as bad as 'Cats'?

Nothing is as bad as Cats.

But I avoided Cats, both on stage and film.
At least Nine and Chorus Line on B'way were great musicals which I actually saw in their original productions.

Sorry but nothing beats Judi Dench as a cat!
At least it has camp value like Lost Horizon.
This just sounds dreadful.

Alison Williams in Peter Pan Live!

As far as film goes I would say it’s comparable to the flop The Wiz w 34 year old Diana Ross playing a 24 year old Dorothy.
