I'm all honesty, I am glad that more studios are making musicals again. I know they are not for everybody, but it's still nice to see.
Between this & The Prom's movie adaptation on Netflix, I hope this marks the beginning of a resurgence of movie adaptations of Broadway musicals.
When the musical stops make loads of money.

God, I'm all for movie versions, but I really wish more shows would do this too.Miranda had an AMA on Reddit the other day. No film adaptation, but this is coming:
On topic: Trailer legit gave me chills. Can't wait to see this, and awesome that he's updated it for modern politics.
thought this would be the case as we've seen footage with the original cast already. bit surprised it hasn't been simul-cast here in the UK but i assume it's to keep it feeling exclusive and hard to catch or something?Miranda had an AMA on Reddit the other day.

In 10 years once the Broadway show isn't as big.

The show will remain big far longer than 10 years. It's American history filled with American music and dance not normally in other big Broadway shows.
They have been. We have Cats about to release, In The Heights releasing in June, Everyone's Talking about Jamie in Oct, and West Side Story releasing next Dec. While The Little Mermaid, The Prom, and Tick Tick Boom are in pre production.
I really hope Hadestown gets a film adaptation if/when it finishes its Broadway run. Same for The Band's Visit & Dear Evan Hansen.They have been.

Right now only Dear Evan Hansen is currently in development with Universal.I really hope Hadestown gets a film adaptation if/when it finishes its Broadway run. Same for The Band's Visit & Dear Evan Hansen.
Damn, I am jealous. I've not seen the show at all. I really wish it would go on tour.I saw this during the original run with LMM. Looking forward to it.
I don't know why, this reaction brings me a lot of joy. Love seeing people excited about In the Heights.
OH SHIT!!!Right now only Dear Evan Hansen is currently in development with Universal.
Wow. That looked great.
Musical spoilerish:
Abuela song is going to wreck me on the big screen. I hope it's as powerful as the cast recording.
Cats has been a long running successful show since the 80's, plus got a huge budget close to 100 million for the film, as well as casting well known stars. It will be fascinating to see how well it does because it could very well bomb.I love the hell out of In The Heights, and will be seeing this as soon as it's out. I wish more contemporary, actually interesting musicals like this got film adaptations instead of stuff like Cats (which I don't even hate, but there's about 100 shows I'd pick for an adaption before that).
