In Which Film Adaptation Was the Singing More Horrendous?


LES MISERABLES or MAMA MIA? I'd give the nod to the latter, as LES MIZ at least had Samantha Barks and Aaron Tveit to save it. Everyone in MAMA MIA sucked!

in order to dupe non musical theatre fans into the theatre. What they come to see is a spectacle that includes a string of greatest hits from a rock band that they like or are familiar with. This is hardly imaginative and hardly music theatre. :/

Perhaps not - but maybe it will be a production that makes them hungry for me. Jersey Boys is an awesome "jukebox musical" - and I think people enjoying shows like it, and Mama Mia! will bring them back to shows that may be more original.
