MD Poll: Come What May

When it comes to movie musicals of the 21st Century, Movie Dearest readers stuck with the original (in more ways then one), choosing Moulin Rouge! as their favorite by (ironically) 21% of the vote (61 votes out of a total 286). Along with the something old(er) was something new in second place, with Hairspray netting 52 votes (18%). More stage-to-screen adaptations filled out the top five -- Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera and Rent -- but it must be noted that the newest entry -- Across the Universe -- landed in sixth place with an impressive 21 votes (7%).
