Broadway Musicals: Show to Movie, or Movie to Show?
For each of the following stories, there is at least one movie and a stage musical. Sometimes they adapted a movie into a Broadway musical. Sometimes, they turned a Broadway musical into a movie musical. And sometimes, they turned a (non-musical) movie into a Broadway musical, and then turned the stage musical into a new movie musical. For each show, chose the right creation story! (You'll get the dates along with the right answers after the quiz)
Most Broadway musicals are based on non-musical movies, except as indicated.
For consistency, in the post-quiz info, we will cite the year a show opened on Broadway, except when otherwise indicated in the question. Shows may have had live performances before Broadway (e.g. London, American Off-Broadway or regional theater). None of these would change the answer to any question. .
Many of the original shows and movies were themselves based on other material, like novels. This is irrelevant to the quiz.
