^^ 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.

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.

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.
