I was very excited when I first saw the story... until I realized it was going to be animated

I love stage musicals, and I love when they make the transition to film, as most of us don't have the geographical proximity to see most of them, or can afford the insane ticket prices to attend them (much less travel to a city to see them).
Les Mis, Rent, Into the Woods, Dreamgirls, Chicago.... I just wish there were MORE making their way to film. Where's Wicked? Where's Book of Mormon? Where's Miss Saigon? All are supposedly coming eventually, but at snail's pace.
