Ragtime!
I'm surprised Ragtime is doing as well as it right now, but I fully expect the Rentheads to pull out a last minute victory.
My avatar is a reminder to myself. I need lots of reminders...

Even though I can't get psuedo-redemption by having it trounce The Lion King in the Final Four (since a certain #1 seed was already ousted) - I will still take some pleasure in helping Ragime at least MAKE the Final Four.
My Vote is:
RAGTIME

Posted: 3/27/08 at 1:50pmI tried to do a current count, but my 3 year old daughter was pestering me the whole time. At this point it looks like Ragtime is winning 63-32 (not including any PM votes people have sent in). There is hope for this contest yet! Ooh, I'm just salivating at the prospect of a national championship between Ragtime and Parade.

wow, this is insane. I agree that this should have been the final contest, but...oh well. RENT is the musical that got me into Broadway, Ragtime is the show that made me realize how perfect a show could be. RENT made me a fan of many performers, Ragtime made me a fan of many performers. This is such a tough decision. Ragtime is easily the better show, but RENT holds a very special place in my heart.
I am going to have to say RENT, but only after fighting with myself for far too long.

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Just because it's score can be visited again and again whilst I am a little tired of RENT.

Tough one. And while I love and adore Rent, Ragtime is the better show.
So therefore, Ragtime.

Posted: 3/27/08 at 5:47pmSince the question is which musical do I personally like better, I'm gonna have to go with RENT. I saw Ragtime only a couple years after I first saw RENT, and while I love Ragtime, it never meant as much to me as RENT did.
