Daily Beast: Is Broadway Brain-Dead?

Posted by:	ryhog 08:16 pm EDT 03/17/14

This seemed related to bearcat's post a bit earlier, but I did not want to hijack that with this... Does any of this actually represent some shift if\n the status quo sensibilities? I don't know, but it really seems that the Broadway musical exploitation of catchy movie properties feels cheaper to me than it used to. If nothing else, I think we have to wonder whether, as an example, Rocky really spoke to Ahrens and Flaherty the way that we kinda expect musical theatre creatives to be inspired to musicalize a source material.
