That’s a Wrap!

Wrapping up the week with a recap…

· So excited to see Woody Allen’s new movie, To Rome with Love. I wrote a 25 page paper on him last semester - I’m kind of a fan.

· When I am in need of a pick-me-up, I turn to my favorite scenes from Oklahoma! Here’s one of them.

· Finally finished The Film That Changed My Life. Summer reading is well on its way.

· One Tony Award YouTube video led to another…and I stumbled across this. The funniest part starts at 6:25.

· Trying to find some patriotic recipes for the 4th of July. This pie looks like a good start!

Have a productive weekend!

From Broadway to the Big Screen

1. West Side Story | 2. Oklahoma! | 3. Chicago | 4. Mamma Mia! | 5. Rent

This week I saw a couple of Broadway shows Jesus Christ Superstar and Porgy and Bess.  I also went to the immersive theater production, Sleep No More, which I highly recommend. Halfway through Porgy and Bess, I started thinking about which Broadway shows have been turned into movies. Most of the Broadway-to-big screen movies that I’ve seen have been really great, but these ones are my favorites. It is fun to see the Broadway performances come alive on the silver screen, especially when the sets and locations are adjusted to a bigger budget. Unlike book-to-movies where I encourage reading the book before seeing the movie, I think you can watch either the Broadway show or movie first without ruining the other. What are your favorite Broadway-to-big screen movies?
