Movies turned in to Musical Theatre — Page 2

Legally Blonde: The Musical is in the works!

I think if done right it could be hilarious along the Hairspray vein.

Kristen Cheno for Elle Woods, anyone? Or Laura Bell Bundy?

i don't know what the big deal is really. books, plays, musicals....each have inspired each other and have been adapted or been inspired by one another for years and years.

the creative process is a great thing. adaptation isn't a crime when it's done right, whether it's turning a movie into a musical, a book into a play, etc., etc.

I agree, Marquise. I think what grates about projects like the Spider-Man musical is the obvious opportunism they display. Rather than being inspired by the material, the creators of these musicals are being inspired by money. And that hasn't been known to lead to the best of musicals.

Hi. Sorry, I'm kind of new here. Been lurking anonomously for a bit, but I've decided to speak up, and this is my first post.

I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want one art form or another to cross paths. I agree with Marquise that movies and plays and books all inspire each other. The truth of the matter, I feel, is that a good story should be told in as many mediums as possible. Of course there will be drastic changes in any adaptaion from one form to another, but that doesn't mean the story shouldn't be told.

I think "The Bigger the Better" would make a great stage musical.
