There's a weird sub-genre of movie musicals that's so niche, it's possible there are only four or five of them.
It's Movie Musicals that are based off of Stage Musicals, which were themselves based off of movies that weren't musicals.
I can only think four/five. Can anyone guess what they are? And are there more? Any ones I'm forgetting?
And one of the five may or may not count, which I'll give away: Sweeney Todd (2007).
It technically fits, but it was better known as an urban legend/scary story rather than from the few old movies based on him.
I did look it up, to check if there was authenticity to the story, and not much is known for sure. Through criminal records wecan confirm there was a man named Sweeney Todd that was convicted and hung for murder, but there are no further details. Everything else was passed down as an early urban legend.
