I'm looking forward to seeing it with my fam- I want them to know what I have gotten myself in to this past year.

I know they'll like it.

I already saw the movie, but am most looking forward to seeing Amanda Bynes when I see it again. I had no idea this girl had such a voice. I was pleasantly surprised with most of the cast, James Marsden, Zac Effron, and Brittany Snow all surprised me with their great vocals. And I really liked the song "The New Gilr in Town", it fit well and was a cute number.

James Marsden. This role just seems like a departure for him from his "X-Men" roles. I think it will be interesting to see him sing and dance.

Christopher Walken. I know he was trained in dance and can sing, but I've never actually witnessed it, so I'm quite looking forward to it.

Michelle Pfeiffer and Alison Janney. Those are the two casting choices that most excited me when they were originally announced.

James Marsden. I've known he had a beautiful voice for well over five years now (god, I miss Ally McBeal), and I've been waiting anxiously for him to use it in another venue, be it a movie musical or something on stage. I'm SO excited to see him sing and dance again.

Also, Zac Efron. I wasn't a fan of his prior to this, but I've kept an open mind about him during the production days. Now that we've seen more of what he's done in the movie in the weeks leading up to the release, he keeps surprising and impressing me. I'm *very* excited to see his full performance in the film.

Edited to fix the longest run on sentence I've ever written, lol.

OK, I'll admit it, I am actually looking forward to seeing how Travolta's take on this comes across. I think it will be very interesting to see an Edna who can dance. I don't know how effective or distracting his Baltimore accent will be, since I don't think anyone else will have one.

It's gotta be Christopher Walken. That man fascinates me and I love what I've heard on the soundtrack.

Seeing "The Telephone Hour" technique they incorporated for "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now" and the new dances added to "The Big Dollhouse" that opens the 2nd half of the film.

Whoo-hoo!

Pippin, just be forewarned that Janney is in the film for all of two minutes.

awww, that's a shame. I heard that she was underutilized in the film. I still look forward to seeing her, though.

Watch for what Janney tries to do to the TV screen when she sees Penny kissing Seaweed. It goes by really quickly, but it's hilarious and BRILLIANT.
