Screen-to-Stage Adaptation: Difference between revisions

 

This trope can be taken one step further, by going from movie, to stage musical, to [[Recursive Adaptation]] movie-of-the-stage-musical.

== Film musicals adapted for the stage ==

* ''[[42nd Street (film)||42nd Street]]''

* Disney started making big Broadway productions out of its [[Disney Animated Canon|animated movies]] in the 1990s with ''[[Beauty and The Beast]]'', but there was a stage production of ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]'' in the 1970s. Disney has since put ''[[The Lion King]]'', ''[[Tarzan (Disney film)|Tarzan]]'', and ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' on Broadway, while their 2011 ''Aladdin'' adaptation was created with amateur companies in mind and skipped the Great White Way. There's also a whole series of "Kids" and "Junior" adaptations of other canon films, specifically designed for children to perform.

 

== Stage musicals based on non-musical films (original film in parenthesis if neccessary) ==

* ''Against All Hope''

* ''[[Back to The Future]]'' (currently in development with [[Alan Silvestri]] writing songs and [[Robert Zemeckis]] producing)

 

== Non-musical stage adaptations of movies ==

* ''Clue: The Play''

** Does it count as an adaptation if the two versions have almost exactly the same script? The movie has an extra, very short, intro scene and that's about it.

 

* ''Musical [[The Prince of Tennis]]'', known by fans as Tenimyu

* ''Rock Musical [[Bleach]]'', known as Burimyu

* ''Dear Boys''

* ''Butai Ban Fuma No Kojiro''

== Special Mention ==

* ''Gyakuten Saiban −Yomigaeru Shinjitsu'', based off the [[Ace Attorney]] video game series.

 

== Stage adaptations from other sources ==

* ''[[The Addams Family]]''
