Broadway on YouTube: International Edition

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE IN THIS MONTH'S POLL!

Notice how the British/American version - actually the pre-Broadway Canadian company (International, right?)- sells the music, party atmosphere and a little bit of the story. But the Asian commercial (yes, it is much longer) really celebrates the story, then the music, then the fun. I wonder if maybe they didn't get it more right...
