Is the TOD limited to musical adaptations of screenplays, or can we include shows where the movie was based on a novel, and the movie was the reason the musical was made?

FJL · « **Reply #6 on:** July 25, 2015, 05:14:32 AM »

For example, in recent years, I really love the LEGALLY BLONDE musical even more than the movie (it's a lot more real about the law school experience than the movie, for one thing) but I gather that in reality the musical's as much based on the novel as based on the movie.

Good morning, all!

I am making an effort to overcome this current bout with depression and discontent. I dislike the inertia of my existence and I'm spending far too much time fretting about the situation. Perhaps visiting friends out of town will help.

Morning all.

That is all.

First week in the new space is done and we (I) survived.

I have found my best commute and I will break it up with a walk once or twice a week (45 minutes from door to door).

Since I won't be going home for lunch anymore I will have more time to read as I eat my lunch. I've been bringing my reader with me and except for Monday I read for at least a half hour every day. That's relaxing.

Ben · « **Reply #12 on:** July 25, 2015, 06:39:54 AM »

Hey, Larry, if you get some extra money a trip out of town would be good for you, I think.

Ben · « **Reply #13 on:** July 25, 2015, 06:41:19 AM »

Cil, glad to hear that you are feeling better. Who knew a gall bladder could cause such things?

You've got the heat now and we're getting it in the middle of the week.

Ben · « **Reply #14 on:** July 25, 2015, 06:42:01 AM »

One advantage to working in an office is being out of the heat. I know some people love it but the older I get the less tolerance I have for any kind of extreme heat, with or without humidity.

TOD: I really don't go to see movie to stage adapted musicals. The idea of wasting time going to see something like a FLASHDANCE or DIRTY DANCING onstage (when I wasn't that wild about the movies in the first) or a musicalized ROCKY or a half a dozen others I could name just seems utterly pointless to me. These aren't musicals; these are a merely product with name-awareness branding to rake in the tourist dollar of people who know little about theatre and even less about musicals.

TOD:

Off-hand, I can only think of two movie-to-stage musicals that I've seen:

1. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, which I didn't really like. Loved the movie, but the stage show was "padded" and reminded me of a circus act.

2. RAGTIME is one of my all time favorite musicals. I wish they would make a movie of the musical version.

Saturday...it USED to be a work day. Oh well.

I think we need to see a photo of Annette's former home without the brush and bushes.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 25, 2015, 07:28:23 AM »

I am mostly ANNOYED by movie to stage musical adaptations. There is really no reason for most of them. And if they were musicals to begin with, the "new" songs seem like intrusions.....

One of the most egregious of these kinds of shows was FOOTLOOSE....although it is not alone its awfulness.

I thought RAGTIME was a musicalization of the Doctorow novel!

TOD:
Fame
Footloose
The Wedding Singer

The first two were pretty boring, but the last one was surprisingly good and hilariously funny.

Good morning, all.

And a rather late one it is. Friends and I sat through an okay but not great ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (except for the Teddy who was absolutely perfect) and then we partay-ed well into the night with the Mortimer (a good friend) and a couple of other people.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #24 on:** July 25, 2015, 07:41:28 AM »

I'm blank as I try to recall which movie-to-musical shows I've seen, keeping strictly to BK's example, other than 9 to 5 itself. Oh my god, I totally agree, it is horrible beyond belief. And the community production I sat through had bad stuff going for it in addition to the material. Just dreadful. Other than that, I don't know. I've managed to avoid most of them. Some of them might be worthy, but in general they don't appeal to me.

Reading during lunch is an excellent idea to me, as is walking.

Jeanne, the cost of housing in LA is crazy. For less money we have a roomy place on the water. I admit the cost of traveling to LA will be greater from here and price of a nice hotel crazy.

With each new addition we enjoy our new home more. Our closet is much better organized too.
