Why are there So Many Musical Adaptations on Broadway?

[@isabelladurante8321]

I maintain that legally blonde the musical is better than the movie- it just makes more sense for the campy drama to occur in a theatre setting. That said, I dont like the whole slew of rom com adaptations bc they are just by and large forgettable. I prefer when musicals go off the rails with what they’re adapting. Orpheus and Eurydice but make it reminiscent of the 1930s, War and Peace but make it scene, henry the eighth but make it a pop concert. The element of unexpected is what makes those old stories fun, and the more well-known the source, the less likely you are to stray

[@kalliehennigar8005]

Legally blonde creates much more well rounded characters. It's just superior and I hate seeing people hate on it or not appreciate it

[@seppyq3672]

Agreed about Legally Blonde! Especially the romance between Elle and Emmett. In the movie it really seemed out of nowhere.

[@sarahtonkin4640]

the character of emmett is so much more fleshed out too! in the film he’s just an intelligent sweet serious lawyer but the musical made him sweet nerdy funny etc

[@Vera-od4hp]

i feel like legally blonde the musical just did so good with the adaptation. like it feels like the movie, but it’s also it’s own thing

[@lolarose8973]

yes! and musicals like six, a historical musical set at a concert! and I think that's why adaptations can be so fun, they need to embrace the original source material but also not be afraid to take creative liberties and lean away from it

[@ms.marvelous8156]

The thing is, I love shows like Waitress, Heathers and The Great Comet because you could really see the writers’ love and respect for the original source material and use certain aspects of the original source to spin it in a creative way with staging, music, lyrics, and acting. I think my issue is when you do shows that already have a set source material that is already so beloved by the fandom, you don’t have enough room to play with it or make it into something interesting without confusing those who either know the source material well or aren’t avidly interested in theater.

My favorites are all adaptations. Hadestown (myth), My Fair Lady (play), Into the Woods (fairy tales), Sweeney Todd (penny dreadful), Camelot (book)... The list goes on. I personally haven’t seen/heard any film to musical adaptations I’ve loved (except Lion King), but I think it’s just most of those scores didn’t wow me.

[@zoe_moth]

Okay the con thing is reminding me of a problem me and my friends were talking about a few days ago. The Newsies fandom. Basically, fans of the Broadway are fine, they appreciate the original movie, but prefer the Broadway. But then the 1992 movie fans, tear the Broadway apart and say that the 1992 version has no problems, even though it has plenty of problems. And so yeah, a con of the Broadway coming from something existing already is that it can become toxic from the fans

[@addie_iaccino90]

Thank you 👏🏼 I was just coming here to say this. I love 1992 Newsies. It’s my favourite movie, always was and always will be. If anyone is an OG fan, it’s me. Going into the Broadway, I was a bit wary, sure. But I was blown away by it. It’s everything I wanted and everything I didn’t know I wanted. It made up for things that I didn’t know the OG was lacking. I see it as a new addition to something I already love. It gives me more Newsies to love which doesn’t seem like an issue to me. But seeing some of the OG fandom’s reaction was shocking. I cannot believe the way people tear the Broadway apart. Like I said, I absolutely love it. To each their own, I guess. But like you said, it becomes toxic when it really doesn’t need to be. And also-Jeremy Jordan. Enough said.

[@zoe_moth]

@@addie_iaccino90 I have seen so many cases where toxic og fans have unnecessary attacked the Bway. On a comparison video for the Bway/tour Jack's a few people showed up in the comments, insulting each actor (and an extra one who was a child but was included) because they weren't Christian Bale. Then they get mad at Katherine existing instead of Denton because there's a better romance existing now, along with the, one comment from someone "I don't care if the story dies or not, the 1992 version is the only good version". I get that there's a lot of nostalgia connected to 92sies for some people, but there isn't a reason to destroy someone else's nostalgia just because they don't like it. It's upsetting to me namely because one woman attacked my friend just because she didn't like a small detail from the original movie. I'm glad you're someone who appreciates them both though

When thinking on it most of my favorite musicals (like Cats, West Side Story, Phantom and Wicked) is adoptions of some kind but the best adoptions does not necerly "feels" like an adoption but rather takes its own spin on a good source material. Like Cats uses TS Elliots poem in a new way, WSS is a new take on Romeo and Juliet and Wicked is spin on The Wizard of Oz. As for favorite original stories I belive Hair and Avenue Q are original stories, right? Johan.

[@nataliafoster1079]

Talking about adaptions. I recently read the book for The Queen's Gambit and honrstly? The show is SO much better (in my opinion). It portrays Beth in a lot more well rounded person. So the adaption did go right and was (in my opinion) it was the right form of art for it to be in. So, you never know, the musical might be better. But I'm the same, staying optimistically cautious.

Having to pick a favourite original musical is like having to pick a favourite child... But, if pressed, Songs for a New World. But If there weren't adaptations, there wouldn't be the Groundhog Day musical, and that would be sad.

[@fairelvenlady]

I think another wrinkle when it comes to adaptations is what is being adapted: is it a book? A straight film? A musical film? If it's a book, then the musical is going to, in general, be interesting because the creators are taking a written story and giving it a whole new lens through the addition of visuals and music. If its a non musical film, you already have a visual representation and for it to work, the songs have to add something that say creating a stage play of the film wouldn't have. If its a movie musical... The musical exists and you're just creating a new version, the only question is are your new songs, that you are obviously going to add, going to add the the story or not?

All musicals have the right to be good, adaptation or original, as long as the performance is engaging, and the mark left is so strong that it redefines Broadway and pop culture, then there’s no right or wrong to Broadway original or adaptation.

i feel like the main problem for me is that it feels so uninspired? like you can tell when a musical comes from a place the artist is passionate about or when it’s just for money and i have a feeling the creators of all these upcoming adaptations are just looking for some bank. but, i love when musical adaptations are creative, like the bands visit, legally blonde, les mis, and even shrek

I've been in love with Starry, but it's just a concept musical at this point. It needs to get the Broadway treatment.

I was just trying to come up with SOMETHING both good and that started as a musical. I think Rocky Horror was a musical before it was a movie andnis based on a series of tropes rather than any specific work. Not even sure about that, plus I never saw the musical, only the movie. I saw the movie first on TV, then in the Art Dorm at my college, then at the original theater in NYC. My college did it by far the best. After weekly showings for 30 years, they can't have the same energy every time in NYC.
