I think you may have "misremembered" on Broadway it was Richard Burton and Robert Goulet (along with Julie Andrews) and the movie was Richard Harris and Franco Nero (along with Vanessa Redgrave). The Broadway show was a hit--- the movie made money. Burton won a Tony Award and the show made Goulet, who they say was not as bad an actor as he thought, a star and gave him his signature song "If Ever I Could Leave You."
Hollywood can fix anyone's singing. Apparently they did not want to fix Phoenix's singing and that makes sense given his character.--- but bad acting is hard to hide. Gaga is a good enough actor--- and Phoenix did all his own singing in the bio-pic "Walk the Line."
And I am keen on seeing this.
I liked the first "Joker" he made and this one looks interesting and looks to be a lot of fun.
I actually saw Goulet as King Arthur in a revival of Camelot back in the nineties. I agree that he was a fine actor (though not as good as Burton or Harris).
