While they may not have started on the stage, you don't see one of the titles listed, with the exception of How to Succeed, that has its source title. Now it's all about branding and using the film title so people think they're getting the film on stage. In the old days that was never the case, which is why you have Promises, Promises instead of The Apartment, The Musical or Cabaret rather than I Am a Camera, The Musical and on and on. The new movie to musicals don't want there to be any mistaking that they ARE the movie onstage.
