It depends on what you want to get out of it. If you are out for the fame, broadway isn't for you. But if you want quality, then no go for hollywood.

Broadway, except I can't sing or dance worth a flip.

broadway live acting is so much more thrilling

Broadway. You get to do it over and over again.

I would actually choose film because I've done alot of theatre and I'm very curious about film acting.

Broadway. I've never had an interest in doing Hollywood. And seeing as I want to be a Broadway star, not Hollywood, premearing in a show that is so good it's getting its own movie right from the get go could only do good things for my career, right?

If they were making a musical, there is no question to me whether it should be a movie or on Broadway. Definatley Broadway. Seeing a musical live with trained singers, dancers and actors is so amazing to see. I think Hollywood would distroy that. But I am certainly not dissing Hollywood. When it is not a musical, Hollywood does an exellent job (most of hte time) makin movies and I am interested in film acting so I would love to seea movie, however, plays, especially musicals, to me, are much more exciting and thrilling than movies if you want ot see a musical.
