"Mamma Mia!", Universal Pictures, 2008
Once upon a time, successful musicals went from the stages of Broadway or the West End to Hollywood for lavish film adaptations, yielding everything from "Oklahoma!" to, more recently, "Dreamgirls" and this week's "Mamma Mia!"

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."
