celeb news Kristin Chenoweth: Movie musicals done poorly deserve to be dragged

[SoldierofLove]

"Movie musicals can be tricky. When they're done poorly we get made fun of and we should because if they're not great, it's not great."

 

Is she talking about FAD? 

[MESSIAH13]

I think she has a specific movie in mind

when will it stop 

[Daddy]

It was clearly shade towards Cats. 

[stjosephprey4us]

Dear Evan Hansen, Cats, Into the Woods, Last Five Years, and In the Heights all did abysmally, to the point that I'm surprised Wicked even made it into production. 
 

I'm sure with her Broadway background she was speaking about those ^ and not… a Joker film?

Box office$213.1 million[4]

It remains culturally irrelevant tho 

 

I also forgot the tragic Les Miserables adaption that nearly ruined Anne Hathaway's career 

 

The only movie musical we actually need is Hamilton (and selfishly I would love Next to Normal and Spring Awakening )

Idk I doubt she's referring to Joker 2 since that wasn't an IP that was originally a musical in the first place. It failed because it was a bad movie first and foremost. She's probably referring to recent musical-movie adaptations of Broadway shows like Cats which was so infamously terrible that people still bring it up years later to discredit musical-movie adaptations. It was a disservice to the original stage musical and tbh probably shouldn't have been adapted for the screen - it just doesn't translate to film at all.

being a hit with 3 Oscar noms >>> being irrelevant to atrl user stjosephprey4us

[Truth Teller]

TV overreactions are so unserious

Didn't that movie gave Annne an Oscar? Wtf

[Khal]

I'd think as a broadway star, she's most likely referring to popular musicals that were adapted to film, and not whatever JFAD was.

 

But literacy and comprehension levels are allegedly dropping, so it's understandable.

It's been L after L for the musical people isn't it ?

[TaylorNation]

@ Dear Evan Hansen (awful musical too)

[byzantium]

I'm surprised the thread title is not, "Kristin Chenoweth" Drags Gaga".

[Domination]

FAD parodied Broadway, not emulate it. Not sure why she would be referring to it.

Sis, I'm not about to get myself more warning points for being misleading or whatever the rule is

mean girls wasn't bad. The only issue was that they hid that it was musical in the trailers
