The Next Best Theatre Podcast: Episode 33 – Film To Stage Musical Adaptations

By Nicole Ackman 

On the latest episode of Next Best Theatre, we discuss stage musical adaptations of films like “Hairspray,” “Beetlejuice,” and “The Producers.” These screen to stage adaptations have been popular for many years and often seem to dominate Broadway. We share our favorites, the ones we think didn’t work, and even discuss the musicals that we prefer to their original movies. Joining me for the episode are Michael Schwartz, Dan Bayer,Casey Lee Clark, Cody Dericks & Lauren LaMagna.
