Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:07pmI don't hate it. I had trouble sitting through it as a stage show, but I think it could work as a film... I could see it as a cult hit.

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:08pmInteresting. Not living in NYC this is one I was interested in and never got to see.

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:10pmThis flop show has more lives than a cat, and for no apparent reason.

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:11pmWhy is it never the GOOD flops that are treated so well?

"Because movie-going kids don't wanna see Grey Gardens"
Well it would be movie-going adults who would see Grey Gardens. And they have more money than movie-going kids who get their money from movie-going adults.

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:16pmWhy so many haters? We should be happy that Broadway is being represented in movies! So many negative Nancey's on here!

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:18pmThat's like saying Pauley Shore & Shannon Tweed are doing a film version of FOLLIES but we should be happy that Broadway is being represented on film.

A movie can get greenlit if you can prove high-schoolers will show up to the opening.

Right after my post, I realized I was thinking of Bring It On, and the only thing I had right about LYSISTRATA was Patti Murin and that it was difficult to sit through (though she was great). I still stand by my post, but oy, I forgot how odd that show was. (For the record, I really enjoyed Bring It On; I just morphed the shows into one while posting.)
For those who want to see some clips from Broadway...

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:28pmPatty and Emily deserve to be in this film.

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:30pmOh I loved this show, and I think it could lend itself quite nicely to a movie adaptation! I'm quite happy for them.

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:33pmRainbowhigh23 I agree -- Patty & Emily!!
#19LYSISTRATA JONES to hit the big screen
Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:36pmYes, two names who couldn't fill a movie theater with one screening should lead a film of a musical that couldn't fill one house one time with full price seats. It'll be a hit!

Posted: 6/14/13 at 5:39pmThis is so not the kind of shows I want to see on the big screen.

Just a wretched idea! They think this is High School Musical but they is wrong.
