If I am being completely honest, I am sick of the amount of movie musical adaptions I am seeing. Over the past couple of years, mainstream theatre has slowly been taken over my staged recreations of iconic pop culture movies, and even in some cases, television shows. For example: Mean Girls, Spongebob, Beetlejuice, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the rumored Back to the Future musical, and now The Karate Kid. Mainstream Theatre needs new and original content. It is incredibly infuriating that there are so many smaller playwrights who get shut out of Broadway, just to have a musical that already exists in movie form take its possible place. In addition, the only benefit of putting on these screen to stage adaptions is money, further drilling in the theatre industry's capitalism mindset. Theatre should be an art form used to impact audiences and share diverse perspectives and stories, not just to make money. Yes, I did just use this as an opportunity to rant.
