I have relented (ha!) because I cannot not watch live theatre on my TV - I'm going to watch Good Night and Good Luck.  But as I said in another thread, I'm going to watch on Max in case live events take over the evening.  I do have it recording for the pre- and post-game shows on CNN.

It was an intense show. Noticed that Clooney got a little emotional in that last speech, and I can’t help wondering if he’s feeling a little bit of remorse for certain things he did in…recent events.

I think this was too much "TV" and not enough "theatre" for me.  I wanted more wide shots and way fewer closeups.  And I was really surprised at the reaction of the audience after the ending montage - there wasn't really anything to warrant sustained applause.  I felt more shocked into silence. 

I highly recommend the movie.

I thought Cynthia did a very good job but the orchestrations for the majority of the performances seemed really off.

I felt like a lot of the performers were almost forced to chase the music.
