Answer 3

Oh defiantly not. Movies made out out of Broadway shows have been absolutely wonderful. Some examples of Broadway Shows that were made into movies are: Cabaret, Carousel, Guys and Dolls, Man Of La Mancha, The Phantom Of The Opera, Oklahoma, Annie, Hairspray, and many more. And so many movies made out of Broadway shows have turned out to be classic movies.

Answer 4

No, Most MOVIES are TURNED INTO BROADWAY SHOWS. ex: The Lion King. But, if a broadway show is turned into a movie, it doesnt ruin the show!

Have a great day!

Answer 5

     No, but people should realize that different media do things differently, a play is not a movie, nor is either a novel. Etc.  

Answer 6

It's difficult to just say that a movie version of a musical ruins the show.

The movies have an advantage of producing what is a 2 to 3 hour Broadway performance in several months and on location, so the production is usually different.

I personally enjoy the stage productions more.  I have only seen one movie version of a Broadway show I thought was better.  But I have many friends who will argue the movies are better. That doesn't mean I did not like the movie, just not as much as stage.

As far as musicals made from successful movies, again it's a different performance.  Music is added, but the story or book has to stay intact. That usually makes the stage show entirely different, but not ruined.
