Just watched both again this past week and I have to say how brilliant they both are. The writing, direction and performances by all involved make both worthwhile watching if you have never seen them before...

Yes.. and both are very different and yet eerily familiar looking at the last few years...

I think one or both would make great musicals. It could be in two parts like Angels in America. Vilanch could write them with Kushner and Harvey could be the First Lady. It would be a HUGE hit. Really great big stuff.

The plane crash scene could lead into the Wag the Dog song. And the songs could be by Sondheim, Gerard and the two guys from Q.
