While the prodction was HIGHLY flawed, the score to Titanic is masterful.

I'm not really sure how this works (either here or in sports), but it seems like each pairing consists of:

• One well-known & (at least somewhat) popular show
• Another more obscure or less loved one.

What exactly is the point if the questions are front-loaded to have one ALWAYS get more responses than the other?

JP ~ I don't know the way this is done here, but in basketball, the rankings are based on records for the season. And yes, sometimes there is a CLEAR favorite (1st seed vs. 16th seed) while other times it's VERY close (8th seed vs. 9th seed)

It was based on length of run.

I vote for Titanic.

• Juan Darien (huh?) vs. Titanic (Tony winner)
• Street Corner... (obscure) vs. Victor Victoria (Julie Andrews + movie connection)
• Once/Island (fairly obscure) vs. Side Show (gradual big cult hit)
• Miss Saigon (blockbuster) vs. Red Shoes (notorious bomb)
• Anna Kar. (not huge) vs. Sunset Blvd. (ALW, Close, classic movie, record presale)
• Aspects/Love (somewhat respected Webber show) vs. Those/Days (not sure)
• Noise/Funk (crossover hit) vs. Marlene (somewhat obscure)
• Scarlet Pimpernel (not a bomb, famous novel) vs. Capeman (big bomb)
• Blood Brothers (cult hit in UK, US tour, etc.) vs Grand Night/Singing (not sure)

The winners almost all seem pretty obvious. Maybe I'm just missing the point...

(And maybe my partner's out of town and I'm kinda bored.)

Titanic. No contest.

In a production of it now, based on score alone this wins.

Jp, it's just the start. The crap is being eliminated, so we can get to the real match ups. It's a game.

I don’t know Juan Darien so I probably shouldn’t vote, but Titanic is one of my favorite scores so I can’t not vote for it. :)
