Yes, a lot of work went into it — but alas, like I mentioned earlier, I worked from an XviD source thinking that all I wanted to do was prove to myself that it could be done, and that no one else would ever take a serious interest in such an edit (that's before I discovered that there was a whole community devoted to fan edits). As I've said earlier, I do plan to redo this project with the original DVD source, to get the highest quality possible and also fix the things I didn't like about my first version — but I really have no time now, so that will have to wait.

There were some things in the movie that I liked more than the stage version, though — Christine's transformation in "Think of Me", for example, with the camera whirling around her and the jewels appearing in her hair, was done perfectly. That same moment in the stage version (at least in the Broadway production, which is the only one I've seen) was really weak and anti-climactic, IMHO.
