From Screen! To Stage! To Screen!
We look at the musical world of stage-to-screen, screen-to-stage, and that rare but growing category of screen-to-stage-to-screen.

This week on the IFC News Podcast, we look at the musical world of stage-to-screen, screen-to-stage, and that rare but growing category of screen-to-stage-to-screen, suggest films that would make great or terrible Broadway shows, and wonder why anyone every greenlit “Carrie – The Musical.”
