Chicago had a tricky conceit (All musical numbers are imagined) but they pulled it off.
By the way, chita, your avatar freaks the hell out of me. Spector doesn't still have that ungainly follicular beast resting upon his scalp anymore, does he?

Piazza was a book first, then a movie. I believe the movie gets some kind of credit in the musical so I guess it half counts.
I think A Little Night Music, Passion, Hairspray and Producers all solidly fall into the "works" column. And Full Monty and Little Shop too.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is almost better on stage than in film. When I saw the movie after seeing the show, I was waiting for Steve Martin to break into song. The books are nearly identical, with things added to the show to give the songs more clarity.
Overall, it was a good film - stage adaption.

FOOTLOOSE! (which in my opinion, is much better onstage rather than onscreen)

RAGTIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Id love to see Ragtime as a movie but they have to use the original cast on the most part. I would demand Brian and Audra.

Margo- Didn't the play Twentieth Century (the one that the Roundabout revived last year) come before the movie? The play premiered in 1932 and the movie came out in 1934.
Ragtime was a (quite well-known) book before it was a movie.
