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.
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
Which one do I like better? RENT. Which one is a better musical? Ragtime.
Put me down for 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.
RENT.

Right now, not counting any PMs, this contest is going to RAGTIME, 78-37...WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!
This really is a tough one.
Im going to go with RENT.
They're both great though...
Tough one. And while I love and adore Rent, Ragtime is the better show.
So therefore, Ragtime.
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.
