Spike Lee/40 Acres
Loosely based on the opera Carmen, this musical extravaganza (kudos to the choreographer) follows the exploits of Zeke from Battle Creek, who drops his can of Pepsi and watches it disappear into the teeming masses of New York City. Oh, the humanity! Pop diva Beyoncé Knowles helps the Michigan rube navigate Times Square. Spike Lee directs and Butch Robinson, Michael Huens and Marcus Turner produce.
