SO sick of musicalized versions of non-musical movies.

I want this SO bad for her, but I’m apprehensive.

Though the musical version has been around for 25 years (as a kid I used to see ads for it, so I knew about the Broadway show before the movie). Anyway, like The Producers and Hairspray, I wouldn’t really consider this to be a remake of the classic film, but rather an adaptation of the Broadway show.

Someone always is sick of something on here.

At least turning a film into a musical brings something new to the movie. It's not a new thing either, lots of the classic movie musicals are remakes of non-musical movies: The Sound of Music, Cabaret, the Judy Garland A Star is Born, My Fair Lady, Little Shop of Horrors, High Society, The King and I and Sweet Charity to name just a few.

In any case, this is an adaptation of the stage musical which has been around forever.

Yeah I'm not sure how good this sounds, but I'll keep an open mind.
