Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
演员太棒了！！完全没喘息的机会！！！信息量爆炸！！！仍然为考拉姐姐打call！！！！
這是一部很棒的音樂劇，旋律優美，歌詞細膩多層次，結合當年發生的事件，讓人感動。
不过还是感到很新奇，因为对于舞台剧的艺术形式虽然了解不是很深、只是泛泛的看过一些音乐剧，但是经过前一阵子参与学校的一个话剧制作，对舞台剧这种形式多少也有了一点了解…所以对这部剧的整体构建模式很惊叹，原来只见过快速的场景变换，几个演员换个衣服、灯光变一下就是空间变换了，但是这种大规模的一人饰多角，在配合上频繁的剧情空间变化…真的是的十分大胆，十来个人感觉演了好几十个角色。
它没有明讲"9.11"——但所有观众都很容易猜出这个背景。然后从一个不被大众熟知的视角——38架飞机迫降的小镇去讲这件无人不知的历史大事。
这真的是我看过现场调度最牛逼的剧了。
疫情封控真的改变了人的很多心态，好像更能和剧里的人感同身受了。我很喜欢这部音乐剧，从情节设置、视角选取到几支令人印象深刻的歌（包括集体祈祷、女机长自述、酒吧狂欢），好像在看一部用轻松释怀悲伤的轻纪录片一样。在人道主义灾难，只有人道主义能释慰一切。而人道主义从来不是靠嘴上说说。没有人是孤岛，每个人都值得拥有食物、支持和尊重，面对你的一份小小的关怀和善意，未来也许有更伟大的回报和羁绊。911改变了一切，有些东西永久的失去了，但有些东西也被重新发现和评估了。如同疫情一样。最后，希望有生之年能去一趟newfoundland。
紧凑的编排让观众游走于焦虑，亢奋和崩溃的状态之间。
Phoenix Theatre, London, 4 Nov 2021. 疫情之后看这个剧还真是很有强心剂作用，大家唱得真好啊！
Idealism of all time.
百老汇音乐剧果真不同凡响，从舞台设计、场景切换、光影效果到台词音乐都无可挑剔，女机长简直太酷！如果说上周刚看过的《转折点》试图拼接起正面的历史，这部音乐剧算是另辟蹊径地挽起一朵火焰，照耀出那段时光的影子。唯此空前绝后的经历方可配得上传奇人生，我亦多么渴望有一天坐在不明方向不知终点的航班上，将我可怜可笑又可叹的故事说与你听……
用巨大的、超越种族的爱与温暖包裹住了悲伤，被命运安排的这5天必将永刻于心中。演员的发挥、舞台的调度与音乐的配合堪称完美。原来这就是百老汇啊！

首页推了高清版，果然周末和来自远方就是最配的！
2021.09.12 眼泪从第一首就开始流。陌生人的善意是这个世间还有美好存在的证明。
太好听了！不过音乐剧还是要看现场的！荧幕上真的差太多
大概是描述美国911空难事件，所有飞机停留一个小岛的故事
头一回看这种官摄的音乐剧！！！！！超过想象的好看！这种凯尔特音乐我很喜欢……！
女机长这段好感动🥲，连小动物也有人照料好有人文关怀哦
真的好爱音乐剧....看到以前的同学把她简介改成artist/playwright真的emo了 羡慕可以追梦的人
