I am not against movies being made into shows per si. I do realize that almost every broadway show out there has some source material or another. I just wish that they turned good movies into musicals. I just feel that for the most part a lot of the movies turned musicals are the ones that I would find in the 2.99 bin at the local car wash.
That is not to say that the worst movies cannot become good shows. I didn't like the original harspray movie but it made a great show.
I just don't understand some of the movies being turned into musicals. Legally Blonde is a good example. When I saw it I kept saying to myself" i don't know why this is a broadway show." I find the movie ok I can take it or leave it and have nothing against it. But, during intermission I was talking to a girl sitting next to me who had seen the show a couple of times before. She said that they had to make it into a broadway show because it has the strong mesage of don't judge a book by its cover.
That got me to stop and think and realize that this is not the only show on broadway with this message. All the popular shows for young teen girls have this message. Hairspray and wicked are both good examples of this message. Do we really need yet another one.
I was disguested by th3e show because it showed the typical valley girl making young girls think that the ywant to be like elle woods and it is okay to be that way.
But, I degress. I feel that there can be better movies being made into shwos.
