Ragtime!

I'm surprised Ragtime is doing as well as it right now, but I fully expect the Rentheads to pull out a last minute victory.
My avatar is a reminder to myself. I need lots of reminders...

Even though I can't get psuedo-redemption by having it trounce The Lion King in the Final Four (since a certain #1 seed was already ousted) - I will still take some pleasure in helping Ragime at least MAKE the Final Four.

My Vote is:

RAGTIME

I tried to do a current count, but my 3 year old daughter was pestering me the whole time. At this point it looks like Ragtime is winning 63-32 (not including any PM votes people have sent in). There is hope for this contest yet! Ooh, I'm just salivating at the prospect of a national championship between Ragtime and Parade.

wow, this is insane. I agree that this should have been the final contest, but...oh well. RENT is the musical that got me into Broadway, Ragtime is the show that made me realize how perfect a show could be. RENT made me a fan of many performers, Ragtime made me a fan of many performers. This is such a tough decision. Ragtime is easily the better show, but RENT holds a very special place in my heart.

I am going to have to say RENT, but only after fighting with myself for far too long.

Im going to go with RENT.
They're both great though...

Since the question is which musical do I personally like better, I'm gonna have to go with RENT. I saw Ragtime only a couple years after I first saw RENT, and while I love Ragtime, it never meant as much to me as RENT did.
