The first big adaptation of the book was a stage musical in 1902. MGM ripped off some of the costume designs and other elements and in turn, early post-film revivals of that original stage musical started incorporated MGM's music before stage versions of the movie wiped it from the public memory entirely.
>Literally just booked tickets to see this >Throughout the show, which will resume performances next month, moments were tweaked to sharpen the satire of Mormonism (already cringe-inducing for many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), and to give the Ugandan villagers more agency. A gag in which the villager Nabulungi tries to send a text using a typewriter is gone; now she has an iPad, and the joke is no longer about her lack of sophistication, but about the unreliability of social media. Also: toward the end of the show, it is Nabulungi, not a white missionary, who scares away a warlord.“It’s putting Uganda at the center,” said Kim Exum, the actress playing Nabulungi, “instead of the Mormon boys.”
The iPad killed the joke entirely. If she used an N9 phone to send a text message to the other villages it would have been the same joke without being TOO cruel. The typewriter got a big laugh when I saw it.
Getting triggered by it is as autistic as celebrating it. You can think it's dumb without crying about it or trying to justify your spergout. gay.

Should I just refund the ticket now?
I saw this in London a few months ago and the changes they made seem very minor, IMO. Shit still basically just dunks on Ugandans the entire (i.e., they all live in destitute poverty, are moronic, frick albino babies to cure AIDS, etc.). No idea what this b***h is talking about, the musical numbers with the Mormons are the best ones in the show, anyways.
At the peak of its popularity I saw it and was so excited because I was told it was super raunchy, well-written, and hilarious. I think I laughed once. It was like a 2.5 hour long episode of modern south park.
name ONE movie adaptation of a musical that was actually good
this too
In addition to little shop of horrors which is my #1 pick especially for October: Grease, My Fair Lady, Chicago, The Producers, Sound of Music

The only Musicals they adapt are the ones that appeal to gays and mormons and this is a little to critical of Mormonism to do well as a film and requires too big a budget and stage to only appeal to niche gays
Saw this on Broadway when it was impossible to score a ticket. Full house. Every generation was in attendance that was over 16. Laughed my ass off and was hoping for a Broadway recording like they did with Hamilton.
It portrays white people in a positive light among African villagers. Can't have that in today's age.
Musicals rarely lend themselves well to film, unless they are already highly abstract in nature. I think the musical of Kiss of the Spiderwomen would adapt well to film. It already sold well as a straight film, so there is a precedent there.
Yes but those were different. Most musical movies from the 40's-60's were basically filmed stage shows. I love Singin' in the Rain, an American in Paris, It's Always fair Weather, basically any and all Gene Kelly movies are great. But they were designed with him in mind, musicaly written for the screen, for him to showcase his dancing. They were not stage shows first, so they can't be truly considered adaptations.
I see where you're coming from. I basically only watch old movies so that's my reference for "musicals adapted to film."

Most of the Gene Kelly movies were movies first, and then they went the other way and got adapted to the stage. He's an exception in that way. Some early Musical to Film adaptations that are pretty good at My Fair Lady, West Side Story, and imo The Pajama Game. I was dissapointed in the Camelot adaptation and the Guys and Dolls one.

Yeah. I didn't mean to say Singin in the Rain when talking about adaptations I was just trying to carry on a conversation about movie musicals. I totally changed topic to ask if you like it. It's one of my top 5 favorite movies ever.

Singing in the Rain is a beautiful movie, if you liked it I'd recommend An American in Paris
Trey is too cucked now. He was 90% of the work between he and Matt. Before I would say I'd rather them just make a new original movie, but anything they make now would suck.
Hello, I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, please refrain from talking about us on this Rocky Mountain Jell-O making forum. Thank you.
because going to see a live production and being in a crowd puts you in a good mood and makes you laugh at things you might otherwise not laugh at
if i watched book of mormon as a movie i probably wouldn't laugh once, but it was one of the best broadway musicals i've seen
Too late now. It could not be made in a post-BLM world.
name ONE movie adaptation of a musical that was actually good
this too
>name ONE movie adaptation of a musical that was actually good
AND I AM JAVERT!
Based, the Les Miserables movie was nearly perfect and also very memetic
Little Shop of Horrors (Director's cut)
LSoH was a film before it was a musical (before it was a film again)
Zoomers.
It's a 30 second cameo Nicholson makes
The Producers was great, and only got bad reviews because critics had to brag that they saw it on Broadway.
On the Town with Frank Sinatra, Ragtime, Annie, Wizard of Oz was a Musical first ffs.

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE
Sweeney Todd.
Not so coincidentally the last musical wider culture gave a single shit about.
fricking TOLD
Mamma Mia was kino

Chicago. A Chorus Line. The Music Man. Bye-Bye Birdie. Oklahoma! The King & I. South Pacific. Jesus Christ Superstar. Godspell.

>its literally still on broadway as of right now
Stunning rebuttal to the claim that Hollywood won't touch it.
They """fixed""" it.
as in they rewrote all the stuff that hurt the black actors fee fees. White people can pound sand tho
Are you joking?
I'm guessing that includes all the times they mention how everyone has AIDS

It's still okay, but I'm glad I got to see the original a few times.

It's a "white people bad" show, of course it can.
I was really disappointed by this. Extreme boomer humor,
>I was really disappointed by this. Extreme boomer humor
I'm 35. The only people laughing in the theater were 60 and above,
>I'm 35
Post T cell count and maggot-free scrotum
I personally really enjoyed it but now that I've seen your quads I agree with you 100%

yes. See Hadestown or Moulin Rouge instead
The cast makes a big difference.
This. Heard it was the greatest stage show since sliced bread. It was pretty fricking gay. A few chuckles but mostly just waiting for it to end.
>Islam but WHITE
how original...

you mean freemasonry

musicals lend themselves really well to film if you like musicals
I love musicals and there have been some terrible ones: Into the Woods, Les Miserables, Nine, West Side Story, just to name some recent ones.
I havent seen any of the above. Do you like singin in the rain?

You haven't been playing with your little factory have you?
>Why won't they make a movie out of Book of Mormon?
Because it's incredibly offensive to Africans
Who cares what they think? Movie is not for ugandans.
Uganda can handle the bantz, they put Ugandan Knuckles into a shitty local CN show.
