This is an odd question!
We know the cast of '9 to 5' a few day's now, but didn't know the theatre and other details..
We knew the details and theatre of Billy Elliot, but today we know the cast.
So how can you compare?
By that fact, I are two completely differnd shows!

Sorry, I've typed to fast (And I'm from the Netherlands, so there might be some more mistakes)
But you know what I mean, right?
It are two completely several type of shows.
No I have not seen '9 to 5' of course. But I've seen the movie.
I saw Billy when I was in London last year (Love it btw)
The titel makes it look like a contest.. But you cannot compare these shows!
(Ignore the spelling mistakes please)

just for fun I vote for 9 to 5, because i think the creative team and cast are amazing..
I haven't seen either though..

Posted: 7/15/08 at 7:25pmThe Billy Elliot cast was more interesting to me because we didn't know any of the leads beyond the three boys. We knew who the tree stars of 9 to 5 were, and also knew that Kudisch was involved.

Exactly!!!!
Was there a competition??? NO!
A pointless thread!
'Billy Elliot' opens in Nov 08
'9 To 5' opens in Mar 09
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

Silly CPD! Everything is a contest on BWW!
So what's going to make more money? DARK KNIGHT or MAMMA MIA?

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
