Musicals Based on Pre-Existing Material Q #1

Posted: 6/15/16 at 6:12am

So a while ago, on this board I think, someone posted a pie chart of musicals being based on other things (movies/books/opera/play etc) and original- showing the percentages of musicals made in the last so and so years..

Well I can't seem to find it- does anyone know what i'm refering to?

If not- does anyone know how might those numbers go? How many Musicals are completely original (book and music) vs how many are based on pre exisiting media (inc. jukebox)

 

thanks in advance!
