The Pope saw this and tweeted that apparently God is dead.

I 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.

Interesting. Not living in NYC this is one I was interested in and never got to see.

This flop show has more lives than a cat, and for no apparent reason.

Why is it never the GOOD flops that are treated so well?

Because movie-going kids don't wanna see Grey Gardens

"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.

Why so many haters? We should be happy that Broadway is being represented in movies! So many negative Nancey's on here!

That'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.

Jerry doesn’t want any sex with you
Jerry likes his own age
Kids at seventeen do not pursue
Relics of the stone age
A movie can get greenlit if you can prove high-schoolers will show up to the opening.

Pauley Shore! Yes, sounds like a hit.

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...

Patty and Emily deserve to be in this film.

Oh I loved this show, and I think it could lend itself quite nicely to a movie adaptation! I'm quite happy for them.

Yes, 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!

This is so not the kind of shows I want to see on the big screen.

Broadwayworld just broke this story 20 minutes after it was posted here. How cool is that?!

I missed the Patty & Emily screening-what was it?

Truly one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

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