Musical Movies based on Stage Musicals based on Movies

The King and I 1956 movie was based on the 1951 stage musical, which was based on the 1948 movie Anna and the King of Siam starring Rex Harrison and Irene Dunne.

Sorry to post several times in a row, but I'm about to go to sleep, and felt like I should mention that Pygmalion was a play (non-musical) first, that became a non-musical movie, that became a stage musical, that became a movie.


And Oliver joins Phantom with two separate musical movies based on it, Oliver! And Disney's Oliver and Company.

No, the movie version of Wicked is based on the novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire.

Maguire was inspired by Baum's books, primarily.

You could be right, but they're both based on the same novel.

We're playing a bit fast and loose with the rules. As long as there was a non-musical film based on it, followed by a musical, followed by a musical film, it counts.

Sorry. I haven't seen Wicked yet, (but the soundtrack is amazing).

The R&H stage musical was NOT based on the 1948 movie. It is based on Margaret Landon's novel Anna and the King of Siam (1944), which is in turn derived from the memoirs of Anna Leonowens, governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s

Now this is very confusing

I didn't know that Pygmalion was a play. I've only seen the movie version.

I haven't seen Disney's Oliver and Company, so I didn't know that it was based on Oliver Twist. (But that makes me want to see it.)

I had no idea there was a movie before the stage play. It certainly counts.


I originally discounted Hairspray because I thought of the original movie as a musical, but I was mis-remembering. It has a lot of music in it, but it's not a musical.


The play came out in 2002 and the movie 2007. It counts.

I don't think it counts, but does the movie and stage show of The Wiz fit into this somehow?

As I said, fast and loose.


I wanted to keep options open, because even though many of the entries here were based on books, it's the early movie versions that made the story really well known.


The play the Phantom of the Opera was originally a book, but there's no way it would've been made into a musical if there hadn't been a movie version of Phantom of the Opera first.

Wizard of Oz is a non-musical movie to musical movie to three separate stage plays to two movies based on said stage plays. (And if course it was a book series first)


It doesn't quite fit what we're doing here, but it's worth mentioning.

Now THAT'S confusing.
