Broadway Musicals: Show to Movie, or Movie to Show?
For each of the following, there is at least one movie and a stage musical. Sometimes, they turned the Broadway musical into a movie musical. Sometimes they adapted a movie into a Broadway musical. And sometimes, they made a Broadway musical out of a (non-musical) movie, and then made a new movie out of the Broadway 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.
