I'm looking more forward to The Producers movie because I'am a HUGE Mel Brooks fan, I love his movies. Also, out of the four original cast memebers in the film, the only one that I saw in his original part was Gary Beach, so I am looking forward to see Nathan, Matthew, and Roger in the film.

I'm also looking forward to seeing Will Ferrell as Franz, I'm such a big fan of his, and I know he's going to be hysterical as Franz.

A little side note is that I used the original Producers movie for my film class final and got an A on it.

Me being a airhead groupie of Roger Bart, both production is Roger Bart related and so dear to me from different reason, either on stage or screen...even before seeing any bit of it. I am so easy to be pleased. I just cannot wait for both coming out!

I am more excited about seeing RENT, but the bottom line for me is that I am thrilled more Musicals are being made into movies.

For me RENT hands down! I've seen both shows and did not enjoy The Producers...but I'll still watch the movie b/c I am also curious about Uma.

Ha! Do I even have to say it? Rent (isn't it obvious)! But I do want to see The Producers. What can I say? I love musicals, especially when they're turned into movies, because then I can see them whenever I want on DVD. Elyse. No day but today.

Which am I most personally invested in and will obsess over and focus on for the next 5 months of my life?

Well, that would be RENT.

If I had to pick which I'd like to do really well with the critics and the award ceremonies, I would also have to go w/RENT. (Though, what I think will REALLY HAPPEN is another story... I think, sadly, the critics and awards will go to The Producers instead.)

However, I'm looking forward to both. I wish both of them well. I will probably see both of them more than once. I will definately buy both on DVD. I'm VERY excited to see The Producers (LOVED the old movie- and did you see the stills from the set? TOTAL replica of a scene in the old movie- and had a really good time at the stage show). However, I'm going to internally combust if I don't see RENT the first day its released.

Basically: I have a lot of fun with The Producers. But RENT is one of my true loves...

The Producers - WILL BE a hit and great.

Rent - COULD BE a hit and great.

Equal anticipation here.

I'm not interested in seeing people play parts that they are 15 years too old to play. Nice to have original performers but there should be a statute of limitations. I didn't like Rent when I saw it years ago and expect nothing to change now.

Cake or death?
