Last season's Breakfast at Tiffanys was not a musical. Matilda is based on the book, not on a movie. Charlie and the Chocolate factory is based on the book, not the movie. The reason Woody Allen didnt write the lyrics to Bullets is that the show uses pre-existing period songs.
Hairspray started the trend of movie to musical in 2002? Hmmmm. (I include a couple of shows that say they were based on a book - cuz rights were cheaper than the film rights. But the film was on their minds IMHO)
