What are other examples of film to stage adaptations, outside of Disney / animation / superhero genres?

I'll be seeing a controversial new example, Opening Night, in a few weeks. Reviews that polarized for a composer I like kind of draw me like a moth to a flame.

I love the original Opening Night and most of Cassavettes’s movies. It would be hard for me to find anyone who could equal Gena Rowlands in anything. But this show intrigues, based on the reviews.

"Nine" and Sweet Charity" are adaptations of Fellini films, for example.

"A Little Night Music" is an adaptation of an Ingmar Bergman film.

Each of these shows is a marvel on stage. On fil, Charity is a fascinating misfire, Night Music is a clumsy mess that I love but do not respect, while Nine is a horror.

Easter dinner was delightful. The Greek lemon potatoes were a hit, especially with the lamb.

Happy Easter to everyone. The newest Broadway Radio Show episode is now up and it's another DIVA Shout Out show as we look at the career of UK star Maria Friedman, who has moved on to become a director and also a Tony Award front-runner this season for her work on the smash revival of Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along. But on this episode we look back at her work onstage in the West End and her recording career with lots of wonderful musical selections!

I love Maria Friedman!

Jack, I am guessing you’ve e already done Noises Off?

vixmom · « **Reply #136 on:** March 31, 2024, 09:01:01 PM »

I’ve seen neither the stage show nor the movie of Once

vixmom · « **Reply #137 on:** March 31, 2024, 09:01:11 PM »

I don’t know why.

vixmom · « **Reply #138 on:** March 31, 2024, 09:01:45 PM »

I know I intended to see Once on stage but I can’t remember why it didn’t happen

Jrand, has your theater already done "Cactus Flower" - better known to modern audiences as the play that was remade as "Just Go With It" with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston

I didn't know that.

So today was rather busy

I had to be at church at 815 today for 845 early start since it was a festival day with special music and processionals

vixmom · « **Reply #142 on:** March 31, 2024, 09:05:47 PM »

I was the cross bearer in the processionals and one of the communion assistants

Then after a lovely service with special selections by the string choir, bell choir, adult choir and brass choir, I reset the altar for the next service and went out to deliver communion to my housebound folks

I appreciate your thoughts on Once, Michael G. I wish I liked the movie a little more. But I kind of tired of the main characters. I liked them better in the stage version. I also liked the immersive nature of the staging. I saw it where I usher. It was there only for a night, and we had trouble getting people to use the onstage bar.

When the tour came to Olympia (and I ushered), people had no trouble going onstage for the bar.

Then I stopped for gasoline ($3.07 for regular) and considered buying a lottery ticket but there was a family in front of me that were taking FOREVER to choose their scratch off tickets so I just left

elmore's Kritzer World review is lovely - I'll include it in the notes. And Freddie's Directed by review is also lovely. Both are much appreciated.

Very strange! I can't see Larry's review! I only see five, and none are Larry's. WTH??

Stopped at the LIDL because I needed whipped cream and also grabbed a dozen macrons ( macaroons?)
