And the musicals don’t use the same title as the source material.
Show Boat and (at least one adaptation of) Gone With The Wind do.
Now, that said, it used to be pretty common for a musical to take on its own original title. Nowadays much less so - and that is most likely to sell the show in conjunction with its popular/successful film title, etc. But that still doesn't mean that all those shows come from great sources. |
