Both would probably bring a lot of appeal on MTV.
Maybe VH1 for "Grease"...

Yes and No...Y'all know I LOVE this show, but I think a lot of it's appeal is in the raw, LIVE theatrical experience. Hopefully it will be filmed with panache, but somehow, filmed versions of live shows never really capture the "spirit" and PS does NOT depend on fancy scenery or costumes for it's inherent power. Anyway, good luck!

I would rather In The Heights, A Catered Affair or 1 or 2 recently closed shows.

That is basically the way they filmed Legally Blonde, right? Like with/without audiences?

Spike Lee has experience directing live performances for film, so I can't imagine he'll have any trouble doing Passing Strange justice. It'll be great to have a record of the show to keep its spirit alive.

THANK. GOD.
I cannot believe there are people groaning on the board about this. Let's be honest, the show's days are numbered and this recording HOPEFULLY might boost some more life in the run and introduce this amazing show to a whole new crowd.

"Really?

Neither of the first two have half the commercial appeal, and the third caught on well enough to not necessitate a filming.
