I've always wanted to see the play so I may go and see this.

Same, though like other movie musicals I'll probably wait for home release. Moulin Rouge was the only one I really wanted to see in theaters and still wish I had been able to.

Wow, I guess people weren't kidding when they said everyone in this thing was gay and had AIDS or something.

I saw it an eon ago. I don't remember a thing about it, other than being a month away for when, I think, Doogie Howser was in the lead role.

Oh christ, they're making a movie? Yikes.
