Movie about teens at a musical theatre camp in new york. It's based on the real camp Stage Door Manor. These kids love Sondheim. It's a so so story line but the kids do lots of great performances from shoed like: Company, Dreamgirls, Promises Promises, Follies, etc..

Camp is a movie about teens at a theater summer camp. It is filled with musical numbers and laughs. It shows the fun, sadness, back stabbing, and psychotic nature of summer camp really well. As well as providing some brake out roles for unknown talented kids. It would be amazing on stage. I disagree with the above casting choices because I would like to see it stay true to the story and have the cast be younger, late teens early 20s. If the people in the movie were that age and could sing like that, there is no reason they couldn’t do it on stage.

I doubt it could be on stage, just because most of the musical numbers are from other shows. That's a licensing nightmare, especially if any revivals of those shows are planned.

Yeah I'm with Kimmy....I can't see it on stage, nor do I want to. The movie was good but it's practically a revue....nothing that would blow people away on Broadway that they haven't already seen.

It wouldn't do well on stage, but all the actors you listed are 30+

I don't understand the following for this movie. I thought it was the worst thing I have ever seen on screen. It makes kids who enjoy theater look like freaks and the straight kid makes them feel like they have to strive to be "normal" If it were onstage, I boycott it.

I personally hated this movie. Thought it had awful and had nightmare quality acting. But that is just me!

I agree. It felt like a low-quality Disney Channel Original Movie with more sex.

Definitely, thank you! It's one of the worst movies I have ever seen, with some of the most pitiful acting in the history of the cinema. The direction is abominable and the cast is wretched. You couldn't pay me enough money to watch this movie again...

I liked Camp except for Alana Allen. She was terrible.

Whatever happened to Alana? She was on that VH1 show and had a website, but now it's shut down?

I like the idea of the musical, but I think they def. need to get some orignal songs and stuff in there before it comes to B'way. Because if it doesn't then it's basically a "Jukebox" musical all over again.

It would not and should not ever come to Broadway. Please!

I loved the movie! It was just a fun movie...don't take it so seriously, enjoy it for what it is. Now, I don't think it should go to broadway, but I definately enjoy it as a movie. I love the number from Dreamgirls and Company.

I am so with you on this Munk. What a dreadful film. Sure there are some talented kids in it, but it is NOTHING like the camp it's supposedly about, which I WENT TO for 3 years! I think it was a huge wasted opportunity.

But I do remember going crazy for "Fame" when it came out and all the grownups I knew hated it, so maybe this is "Fame" for today's youth.

...and if it DID happen on Broadway - they'd certainly have to re-write the ending. It was a pure Hollywood cop-out that he turned out to be a "straight" player...we were hugely disappointed by that.

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

I enjoyed it. It wasn't a masterpiece but it was fun. Got to see Sasha Allen in BARE last year. Love her voice. I didn't know until I just looked in the CD booklet that Idina Menzel and Aisha Dehaas contributed additional vocals to two songs.
