IT's gonna be my 3rd right now! I have to keep going and bring more people. I saw an advanced screening, then on Wed. and now.

How many times have you seen it-how many are you planning on?

Also, did you guys see them on Life? It's awesome-- loved Larson's sister talking about him

Going to see it for the second time in about two hours, just got back from buying tickets for me and my boyfriend.

Probably seeing it tomorrow (which will be my second time) and more than likely a couple more times because I want to take different people who live in different places to go see it.

I firmly believe that most of you will like the film more once you have seen it a second time and can get over your shock at it not fulfilling your specific dreams of what it would be or how it's not exactly like the Broadway version. Most of you will start to "take it for what it am".

"take it for what it am" LOL, jrb!

I saw it twice on Wednesday. I'm trying to stay away until next Friday, but I have doubts about my will power. I have $10 in movie money, so I would be seeing it for free... very tempting.

tonight will be my third. I just can't get enough of it. Even dramatically and artistically, it is a beautiful film.

I might be going a third time tonight, depending on whether or not my friend wants to (who am I kidding? I'm dragging her... lol).

I'll probably see it at least one more time after that, because I promised another friend (who's currently out of town for Thanksgiving). I'm not planning on seeing it after that, but you never know (I gotta stop, though, it's hurting my wallet).

I love it. I don't mind watching it again. I get excited to watch it again. It kinda scares me.... :-P

I've seen it three times so far, twice on the 23rd and once yesterday.

I would go again today or tomorrow, but I am working 12 hour shifts both days. I'll probably try and drag some people and go again on Sunday.

I completely agree. I saw it twice now..the first time was at the Peter Norton Symphony Space...I was slightly disappointed that time, slightly. Plus, the screen there was so small, and all the sound came from the front...not a good way to enjoy it fully. Then on Wednesday when I saw it at my local AMC theater, it was completely different. I was still a little meh about some of the parts, but as a whole I was amazed. It was great to see it on a huuuge screen, with surround sound. Made it much more touching and energetic. I'm seeng it again tonight, and dragging my best friend along with me because she needs to see the love too! :o)

Zero.

I absolutely refuse to see a bastardization of Puccini's beloved opera.

Once - That was more than enough

To turn a classic opera into this was not our cup of tea. If you like it - great. It simply was not for us

Jeffrey Lyons just gave it a rave . It does look better on screen than it did on stage from the clips I have seen

I saw it the day it opened, and won;t be paying to see it again. I'll probably get the DVD when it comes out, but i have no reason to go back and pay 10.50 to see it in the theatre.
