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.
