i think CURTAINS is certainly more original and funny, but GREY GARDENS is just great because they took all these parts of the documentary, and crafted it into the the 2nd act. not to mention the 1st act is based off little to nothing.
i would vote for CURTAINS, but i think GREY GARDENS will take the prize. and that is not bad either! :)

Posted: 5/28/07 at 3:51pmWhat I think Curtains has going for it is that it isn't based on anything. It has no source material, it's a solely original musical.

Posted: 5/28/07 at 4:41pmBeing a huge fan of SA I wouldnt be mad if it won at all. But I think it will win everything else giving Grey Gardens the win. I think though Curtains is original it doesnt compare in quality to to Grey Gardens.
