And seeing as she and Corden are both Broadway vets — he even won a Tony Award in 2012 for his leading performance in One Man, Two Guvnors – it only made sense that the two would collaborate together on a new musical adaptation of James Cameron's 1997 masterpiece. from People

For the musical adaptation of Shakespeare's "Love's Labour's Lost," another collaboration with Mr. Timbers, staged as part of Shakespeare in the Park in 2012, Mr. Friedman riffed on Broadway-style brass and bubble gum sugar to conjure the goofy self-consciousness of young swains discovering romance. from The New York Times
That was the approach to his Broadway interpretations of Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd," and, more surprisingly, the Tony-winning 2015 revival of "The Color Purple," a musical adaptation of Alice Walker's landmark novel, which had seemed bloatedly sentimental in its first New York outing in 2005. from The New York Times
It's been almost four years since the animated film "Frozen" made it impossible to unhear "Let It Go." That's music to the ears of the Disney Theatrical Group as it readies to open a new high-profile musical adaptation of the movie on Broadway next spring. from The New York Times
The Public Theater announced on Thursday that it will bring a new production of "Richard II" and a version of its 2017 musical adaptation of "As You Like It" to the Delacorte Theater in Central Park this summer for its free Shakespeare in the Park series. from The New York Times

The man who won four Emmy Awards playing Tyrion, I hasten to announce, is by no means a disappointment as the witty, wily and dangerously underestimated title character of "Cyrano," a musical adaptation of Edmond Rostand's classic by Erica Schmidt, who is also the show's director (and Dinklage's wife). from The New York Times
And Lynn Nottage, Duncan Sheik, and Susan Birkenhead première their musical adaptation of "The Secret Life of Bees," Sue Monk Kidd's novel, in which a white teen-ager and her black caregiver find refuge with three beekeeping sisters in mid-century South Carolina (May 12, Atlantic Theatre Company). ♦ from New Yorker
By the time McGilligan gets to important late-stage developments like Brooks's triumph with the 2001 Broadway musical adaptation of "The Producers," or Bancroft's death from uterine cancer in 2005, you can feel him racing to the finish line, rushing past moments that would have benefited from closer examination. from The New York Times
But it largely got out of the game after a series of disappointments, including two plays, "A Life" and "Mister Lincoln," that transferred in 1980 but then flopped, as well as "Pieces of Eight," an ambitious musical adaptation of "Treasure Island" that sank at the Citadel in 1985. from The New York Times

Adaptations of Shakespeare, from "West Side Story" to "The Boys from Syracuse," have flourished from time to time, but it is notable that the early, more strongly plotted plays are remade most persuasively: the musical adaptation of "Othello" (which starred, of all people, Jerry Lee Lewis) remains a memorable oddity. from New Yorker
But last Labor Day weekend, when the Public Theater staged a joyous musical adaptation of "As You Like It" at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, it tapped just the right vocal understudy to avert disaster — Shaina Taub, the show's prodigiously talented composer-lyricist, who was already playing the character Jaques. from The New York Times
In honor of the success of the Broadway musical adaptation of the film (it was nominated for 12 Tony Awards), New York City's Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, which is famous for its over-the-top milkshakes and now has locations all over the country, has created a dessert in the show's honor. from People

Of special interest was "Nice People," a biting obscurity from "All About Us," a musical adaptation of "The Skin of Our Teeth" that never opened on Broadway, and "So What?" a hardy waltz from "Cabaret" that simply observes, "So the sun will rise and the moon will set/And you learn to settle for what you get." from The New York Times

Lucre-minded Broadway made room for precedent-smashing productions that jiggered and blurred the senses, including not only "The Crucible" and "The Encounter" but also the triumphantly transplanted "Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812," Dave Malloy's ecstatic musical adaptation of a part of "War and Peace" (which appeared on my best-of-the-year list for 2013 in its Off Broadway incarnation). from The New York Times
I ask the London-born actress which role she thinks defines her breakout into this level of attention in the industry and she says it'll always be the on-stage musical adaptation of The Color Purple, for which she won a Tony Award and then later a Grammy (she's an incredible singer and will be working on an album this year too, by the way). from Refinery 29
