Movies Turned Into Broadway Musicals Through the Years: Photos
When it comes to bringing a new musical to Broadway, producers find inspiration in all sorts of places — including beloved movies.
Tina Fey premiered her musical version of the hit movie Mean Girls in April 2018.
“The greatest thing about bringing this musical to life is that our creative team didn’t say, ‘Can you just recreate the iconic film performance?’ We could never hope to,” Erika Henningsen, who played Lindsay Lohan’s character Cady Heron on stage, exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2018. “It has been really special being able to recreate these characters for a musical and in this current time period.”
Two years prior, Sara Bareilles’ version of Waitress debuted on Broadway. “I just think Waitress is comfort food. It’s got so much heart and it’s got so much humor,” Bareilles exclusively told Us in February 2019. “I know I’m biased because I’m intimately involved, but I really believe in the story of resilience and strength and vulnerability.”
