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%).
