That is the only time I can honsestly say that a high school production was better than a Hollywood movie. Mind you, I'm probably overstating the quality of our production there, so I don't think the movie was /terrible/...

And then maybe you just prefer live productions. I saw "Cats" live and then watched the video soon after and the live one was best. And maybe I'm another one who prefers live performances.

I've seen "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" on the stage and the screen. That one was close to a toss up.
