Hello Dolly was originally a play called The Matchmaker. I don't know who it's by off the top of my head.

Hope that helps!

Technically, Kiss Me Kate is a musical about a musical based on Taming of the Shrew (I was thinking about that one, too).

About half of The Lion King is loosely adapted from Hamlet, but it's not really a musicalization of the play.

A Doll's Life is a musical sequel to A Doll's House (sorry Sueleen).

Yes, Merrily We Roll Along is the title of the play by Kaufman and Hart on which the Sondheim musical was based.

My Sister Eileen was indeed a play before it was musicalized as Wonderful Town.

Well, Matt, if you wanna put on your picky-pants, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN, although indeed a play, was never on B'Way in a non-musical form. And WINDY CITY has never had a B'Way production, either! Although I think it should be given another try.

The Most Happy Fella---adapted from They Knew What They Wanted

Her First Roman---Caesar and Cleopatra (UK import)

Kismet---Kismet

Anya---Anastasia

Carousel---Liliom (Hungarian import)

Angel---Look Homeward, Angel

Chicago---Roxie Hart

Do I Hear a Waltz?---The Time of the Cuckoo

Skyscraper---Dream Girl

Street Scene---Street Scene

The Happy Time---The Happy Time

Tovarich---Tovarich

Where's Charley?---Charley's Aunt

Golden Rainbow---A Hole in the Head

High Spirits---Blithe Spirit (UK import)

Seesaw---Two for the Seesaw

Lovely Ladies, Kind Gentlemen---The Teahouse of the August Moon

Dance a Little Closer---Idiot's Delight

Purlie---Purlie Victorious (well, this was an Off-Bdwy play)

Raisin---A Raisin in the Sun

Regina---The Little Foxes

No doubt there are many more.

The second act of Romance, Romance ("Summer Share") was based on the play Pain de Menage. I don't think it counts, though, as the first act "The Little Comedy" was based on a short story of the same name.

Well, you can give her 10 1/2.
