See my other post Dollypop. We don't all have access to theatre the way you seem to.Some of us can't get to the theatre, some of us can't afford theatre, some of us are in both boats!
I love theatre. I loved seeing Godspell on theatre, but I loved watching the film as well. Film just doesn't hold the trauma for most of us that it seems to hold for you.
There are changes in the translation whether it's book to film (I was surprised that I didn't mind the removal of one of my favorite scenes from "The Princess Bride" when they filmed it.) or stage to film (And, I would have to imagine, from film to stage; they have to have made some changes in Singing In The Rain as well as some other musicals that started as films.) but it's a different medium and you have to accept that. (Well, [you] don't because you avoid movies, but you're cutting yourself off from quite a bit!)
