Nope. "Sweeney…." the film will never hurt the play. "Chicago" is a very fine film and may have even enhanced the commercial viability of the stage version…which in revival form is excellent. "Little Shop…" is also a decent film and will never diminish the stage version. "Sound of Music" is quantum leaps better than the stage version as is "West Side Story" film. "Cabaret" film was not altered to fit Liza M. but it was altered to fit Fosse's vision and his version is just as viable as the stage version. It is just different.

Sweeney Todd...Tim Burton hired non singers. CHICAGO. Richard Gere? LITTLE SHOP...miscast Steve Martin and Rick Moranis. Thanks for the info on CABARET.....I always thought it was tailor made for Liza. Anyway, I did enjoy the film with Liza and Joel, but missed The Pineapple Song with Jack Gilford and Lotte Lenya's song...but that's just me..
