As an enthusiastic audience member of musicals, I love watching actors on stage who move gracefully and well. I can’t stand watching actors who don’t move well. If they don’t move well, what am I watching? A radio show? Film can showcase an actor who does not move well, but stage is for the full body. We got the understudy for Elphaba in LA (she might be fine in her “other role” on Broadway, but I’m talking about her in that role), and her body moved like a block of concrete. I’m all for actors who are also dancers. And I’m also biased ;).
