Filming location for ONJ-Kelly's big dance number?

Where was this scene filmed?

In the 2009 DVD's making of its explained gene would only perform this scene if just a handful of film makers were present for the shoot, ie - choreographer and camera operator(s).

On entry thru adjacent rooms the viewer is invited to believe it is a real person's elaborately decorated home (or a museum). Hmmm, OR mr kelly's ocean view residence, living as he did in santa monica.

Or studio (mumble grumble).. yeah yeah, 99 point spread it was filmed in some hollywood studio.

Anyways, thanks in advance for any feedback.

If you mean the opening sequence with the muses, they were all shot on location except for the the SFX sequences.

If you mean any of the other numbers, those were all shot on stage.

Thanks BG. Another person replied to the same question on a YouTube thread with similar info, ie - same film studio as the big production roller finale.
