Broadway vs Movie Musicals

Revolting children is one of the few, which I personally believe is an improvement. Not just a choreography pov, but also it just sounds better. Obviously they had a whole set vs a stage, but the film version is just spectacular!!

Mean Girls musical movie made some....interesting choices but I was absolutely captivated by the choreography and cinematography in Someone Gets Hurt

When I was 7 my mum took me to see cats and “skimbleshanks” sat next to me. I think I am traumatised. Cats still scare me to this day.

Everyone talking about the Matilda Kids (which rightfully so as they are so talented) but you guys are forgetting about the School of Rock Kids!!! They are unbelievable. They were singing, dancing, and playing an instrument on freaking Broadway

Cell Block Tango is already an amazing number, but the movie made it even better. I feel like Chicago is one of the best movie adaptation.

Loved the cinematography and effect “Someone gets hurt” BUT soon as i realized Aaron isnt gonna sing along with Regina. i lowkey got upset cause Aarons vocals add so much to it.

Some of these were so nice and some of them had physically painful movies in comparison. Really shows how movie musicals can work u just gotta like. Care

I recently watched the Mean Girls musical film, and it was fine, I wish they had added more of the songs in it, but I will say Renee Rapp 👀 holy cow her movie version of Someone Gets Hurt was wild!

I love when the people that played a character in Broadway plays them in the movie adaptation (Renee rapp, Ben platt, etc.)

wishing you were somehow here again gives me SO MANY GOOSEBUMPS. it’s such a vocal cord killer but jesus Christ

The two different versions of Santa Fe are particularly interesting to me because of the lyrics and the portrayal of Jack are both pretty different. Jack in the new version of the musical is just another average newspaper selling boy who’s a talented artist, while in the original movie he’s a cowboy who feels out of place in an urban place such as New York. Not to mention, the lyrics are slightly different in the original version, where he sounds more, desperate, you could say? I still wonder why they had to change up Jack’s character so much, the whole cowboy complex would better fit his dream to go to Santa Fe, at least in my opinion. Also, sorry if my English is bad, not my native language. Great video!

The cool thing about Rent was that all but 1 of the movie actors were also the original Broadway actors.

For the most part, they’re all pretty solid adaptations. There seems to be a sigma with watching the movie version of a show rather than their stage counterpart but not everyone has the means to see a live show (or get their hands on a slime tutorial lol) so seeing the movie may be the best and/or only option. I haven’t seen all these shows or movies but aside from Les Mis, Evan Hansen, and of course Cats lol, they all seem to be on par with, if not better than the originals

I like that you included both movie adaptations of West Side Story

3:33 WHAT IS THAT?! Cats had no business being a movie musical

In The Heights is my favorite movie musical ever!! It is also one of my favorite movies of all time! It’s the best thing ever.

That performance of Suddenly Seymour for the Broadway side is soooo good

Matilda children are amazinge

Good Lord, it constantly wows me. The kids and Matilda the musical are so fucking talented.
