The English Teacher Goes to the Movies Part 3: Musicals From Stage to Screen

Our maverick English Teacher, Theatre Director, and movie buff looks at the Broadway style musical and it's often bumpy transition to film. Here are 72 prime examples. The criteria for inclusion were: 1) The musical had to begin as a stage musical and be adapted ( sometimes destroyed) into a movie. Original movie musicals or movie musicals later turned into Broadway musicals were excluded. 2) The movie versions had to be conceived, shot, and released as films. Made for TV versions and film/video of live performances were excluded. 3) Broadway Musicals based on non-musical films that were later filmed as musicals, such as "Sweet Charity", "Little Shop", and "The Producers", were included.
