"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Spidey-I admit that I'm not sure if I saw Paint Your Wagon recently enough for me to remember it.
And I thought Rent was so bad I didn't watch it through. Nine- well there are no more words. Everything's been said!

I am going to write-in Mame.
Also, I don't think Fiddler belongs anywhere near this list.

Posted: 1/2/10 at 10:45pmOK, MadB. I'm replacing Fiddler on the Roof (which only I hate) with Mame (which I forgot to put on the list).

Posted: 1/2/10 at 10:46pmMame would have been great with Angela. Having said that, it is what it is, Is it to late to redub Lucy's songs?

Posted: 1/3/10 at 12:03amOut of PJ's list, I've only seen The Producers, and it was on HBO. Never saw the stage show, but watching the movie was like watching a stage production being filmed. I guess that makes it a bad adaptation?
#21Vote for the WORST Movie Musical Adaptation Ever
Posted: 1/3/10 at 12:25amI saw The Producers with Roger Bart and Brad Oscar's understudy and that was worlds better than the movie production. Broderick was soulless and Stroman was just not cut out for movie directing. Some of the scenes were just better left on the stage. The movie just does not do the stage production justice at all. That being said I enjoyed Will and Uma.

A Chorus Line, Little Night Music, Nine.
And I also want to add One Touch Of Venus which jettisoned every song but one.

How do you feel about IRMA LA DOUCE? That one got rid of the songs entirely and just used the music as underscoring.
