Sick of Movie Adaptations? — Page 2

I agree however I'll take a musical based on a movie adaptation over another revival any day. With the multi million dollar cost to mount a musical these days, I think most producers want to be assured an audience identification with a popular movie title rather than risk financing an original work. It's unfortunate but most likely true.I would also think the advance box office take on a show based on a popular movie would also be much more lucrative then something with an unknown title.

YES! I am sick of a lot of those...but mostly because they're stupid ideas. I really prefer original musicals- but mostly it's important that a musical be well conceived. legally Blonde doesn't sound good... at all ...*shudders* but you never know. I mean, Jeckyll and Hyde should have been better than it was from the basic subject matter, although it was fine... and Bombay Dreams should have been much better! My goodness!
