I don't discuss the play in my report, to be published on 22 September 2016, as a "movical," but I do make some comparisons with the source film. In reference to the above article, "More on Movicals," the report on 'School of Rock' can be viewed as a look at an example of a movical in production.<br /><br />Another movical that I saw earlier and reported on is 'An American in Paris,' adapted for the stage by Christopher Wheeldon (who also directed and choreographed). My report on 'American' was posted on ROT on 2 August 2015. (I've also posted an old report on 'She Loves Me,' the 1963 musical that shares the same source material as the Jimmy Stewart-Margaret Sullavan film directed by Ernst Lubitsch--but both the stage musical and the film were adapted from the original Miklós László play, 'Parmumerie.' My archival report was posted on 28 July 2016.)<br /><br />~RickRickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164037407475532693noreply@blogger.com
