^^ How do you know it's not meant to be a Broadway show?

"Just look at the movie, sure it was funny but not mean to be a broadway show. No point."

That argument could be used with most movie to stage adaptations.

Because I do. Thanks for asking.

I hope they never make a musical out of that sillylow-budget B movie Little Shop of Horrors. Sure, it was fun and campy, but it's not meant to be a musical. No point.

Yes it was, it had songs and indepth characters.

Yeah... I'm not talking about the movie-musical adaptation of the stage show from the 80s. I'm talking about the source material from the 60s. You know, the black-and-white, shot on a shoestring budget in 3 days, campy horror film.

Agreed, but then they made the 1986 version.

...which was based on the already-made musical.

The point is: shut up until you have seen the show.

I love Kad. Honestly, this could be the most amazing, funny show ever. Not everything has to be SO serious. It has an audience, a decent cast, and it will make money.

But you haven't seen it, hardly anybody has. So don't judge it before you've seen it, plain and simple.

Whatever guys. Go on liking your waste-of-theater-space shows. Have fun and enjoy the upcoming season!
