As I said in my response just below, I don't think there is anything wrong with adapting a film into a musical, any more than any other source material. And I think the popularity of the film only relates tangentially. What I think to be at the root of the complaint is those adaptations that are (as I have said elsewhere) cheap, vapid, lazy and a host of other not-so-nice labels. I don't think anyone can watch Rocky and lump it in the same category as most of the other mentioned shows.
