Evil Dead musical's old, I never saw it, I just heard the soundtrack. Pretty funny/good.
Tiger King is genuinely good/entertaining, worth a look.

I have to wonder if that's usually the case with dramatic adaptations of documentaries - if the reality-based approach is enough to hook an audience that prefers fiction, how much does it really benefit from receiving a full dramatisation? The one upside is that it means boiling down a five-hour miniseries into a feature that would (ideally) keep it under two hours, but even then it's not that interesting as a narrative and trying to give each subject its due attention in a constricted timeframe would prove difficult. Again, it just keeps pointing to "maybe don't do this" and the fast turn-around on the adaptation (plus the fact that it doesn't seem to be the only one out there) suggests that people really are trying to capitalise on a meme more than anything else.
