Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!Search for a movie version of a musical (The Phantom of the Opera, Grease, Chicago, Les Misérables, and so on) and go see a live performance of
it. The live performance may be professional or amateur, such as a high school production. Then, watch the musical's adaptation on film. Write a
critique of the movie in terms of its theatricality, the performances, and the script adjustments in the movie version for it to work cinematically.
Compare and contrast the two.
Your critique should cover the following points:
. The name of the musical that you are viewing. Also, include whether the live performance is professional or amateur
• Describe some of the differences between the movie production and a live performance.
. Given the limitations of a live performance, what are some of the challenges the performers have regarding the dances, the actual live
musicians, the scenery, and so on.
. Why would there be certain song omissions or additions (if any)?
• Any other difference you observe between the live performance and the movie.

Answer 1

Beetlejuice (1990's film VS 2019's Broadway Production

Explanation:

At first this 1990's film was simply a Tim Burton film, but later was adopted onto Broadway in the early spring of 2019. Theatrical performances highly differ from the original movie as special affects created in film production are difficult to produce on stage. Difficulty in redoing certain aspects of the film are challenging to produce while live on stage. Music was a new feature added into the musical as the film only contained 2 lyrical music bits and a soundtrack to blend into the background. In the Broadway show songs were written, produced , and then sung on stage to go along and tell the story. Overall the musical was well developed to fit certain aspects of the movie, of course some bits didn't get added in due to technical issues, but the movie still had the theme portrayed in the Broadway Adaptation.
