You could make a tier list of movies that were turned into musicals like : mean girls, heathers, beetlejuice, school of rock, pretty woman, matilda, amelie, elf, big fish, waitress and more
Can y’all do a Disney Musical tear list? I think that would be really cool (especially since Ryan SLAYED as Hans) it would be nice to have intel from the actual business. Also, there are some amazing Disney musicals, and some not as good but still great Disney musicals. I’d love to hear your thoughts
The problem with The Greatest Showman for me is how every song had the same sweeping grandness to it. It became really stale really quickly. You need to have an ebb and a flow to the music in a musical. If every song is sweeping and inspirational, it doesn’t work.
agree , but this whole list celebrate musicals where artistry is nearly absent , where the music was the least authentic ... the whole list is joke and they are both the greatest clowns
I think the one song that wasn't that was the bar song (edit for clarification: I mean the one where Hugh is trying to by out Zac Efron into working at his circus, that one was fun)
You should make a part 2 with -chaigco -hairspray -litte shop of horrors -grease -mama Mia here we go again - a star is born -the prom - all of the Annie’s - dream girls - pitch perfects Great Video ❤️ Thank you all for so many likes you guys are the best!!! Alos Iḿ sorry I forgot rent but yes definitely.
If you stick with just last 20 to 30 years, can also add controversial ones like Grease 2, Funny Lady, etc. But if you get into true classics, you start adding stellar ones like Victor/Victoria, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Gigi, Bye Bye Birdie, Cabaret, A Chorus Line, . . . shoot even Xanadu!
When Sam said that La La Land is not a movie that gives her Theatre vibes, it reminded me of HOW BAD “The Princess and The Frog” gives me theatre vibes, I mean, I NEED IT right now, they NEED to find a way to make frogs sing without make it absolutely ridiculous 😭
Here’s the thing. I actually think la la land worked because it was so “movie-like” as you guys said. I find that when movie musicals try to capture theatre it just never works. It always ends up feeling cheesier than necessary and it doesn’t hit the way a live musical theatre performance does. So I think leaning into the more movie aspect actually works. I liked how it felt like the music fit the movie and not them trying to fit the movie into the music (if that makes sense). I don’t want to see it as a stage adaptation either but I think that’s a good thing. It means they chose the right medium. It’s always been so weird to me how I can love musical theatre so much yet have such a distaste for movie musicals. The only other one I genuinely loved was in the heights which did a good job of representing theatre in a movie form.
I personally love the Into The Woods adaptation! I was expecting it to go into the “choices were made” tier because of the ending and the songs ya know? But I’m happy for the into the woods love we’re receiving today
Same! I've seen that movie at least 5 times lol. I don't get why people hate on it so much. Yes, it's not the stage version, but it's good in its own right.
I actually didnt like it the first time and itll probably get worse on rewatch. This was actually My first introduction to this musical and I didnt understand why people liked it so much. The performances were good and all but I just could not tell what the theme was meant to be, the world looked so gray and sad and, probably the worst part, it felt like it was meant to end at the first happy ever after and the second act just felt like a weirdly long epilogue. Never thought about it again until I stumbled across the stage version's proshot on RUclips, thats when I fell in love with it.
Please do a part two. Y’all missed some quintessential movie musicals imo: Chicago, little shop of horrors, dream girls, hairspray, grease, the producers.
Gotta disagree with the Les Mis call. The “capturing vocals live” aspects would be good if they made the actors follow the music rather than the other way around. There is a direct line from this to Cats
They almost made Hugh Jackman lose his voice irreparably. The movie is decent and earns a lot more knowing the shitty job the Producers and others made. Also the actors do a fantastic job while the producers did things that could have really hurt them.
that’s how I felt when I saw Phantom of the Opera when I was 14 as well. I was underwhelmed and a little disappointed because I was looking forward to this spectacular movie. but then I saw it on stage for my graduation present and was blown away . So much better. love the movie, but I prefer the staged musical.
Cats was the first musical I watched. It was the old version that was recorded on a stage and it’s 100% better than the movie that came out. I refused to watch the newer one because it would ruin cats for me. Definitely recommend watching the older version
I hate that they said the actual musical was trash, like dude it’s one of the hardest musicals dance wise, if you get vocal damage from memory it’s because you can’t sing it or don’t have the range for it. A ton of GOOD singers can do it
I’m a relatively new viewer, so you might’ve already done this, but I think it would be neat if you made a tier list of Disney musicals (either the stage productions or the movies). I would definitely watch both of those videos potentially multiple times.
The Sound of Music is my number 1! It’s one of my favorite movies, not just movie musicals. Followed by 1776, which feels the closest to a live production without actually being a pro-shot. Would definitely love to see further parts to this video to get your opinions on other movie musicals.
*Defying Gravity-* Phantom of The Opera, Into The Woods *Standing Ovation-* Les Misérables, West Side Story *Choices Were Made-* The Greatest Showman, Mama Mia, Moulin Rouge *Flat-* In the Heights, La La Land *Vocal Damage-* Cats
I didn't know loving les mis was unpopular cause I fricken LOVE it so much like yesss. Also in the heights is so good but once I did some research there were some things I wish they included from the broadway version.
@@Flo-kv8kv I think you need to stop telling me what I should like. This is why everyone hates the Hamilton fandom you guys are pushy, aggressive, rude and condescending.
@@TheIndigoSystem agree , but this whole list celebrate musicals where artistry is nearly absent , where the music was the least authentic ... the whole list is joke and they are both the greatest clowns
@@TheIndigoSystem I enjoyed Hamilton , but just mehhh, relatively to the classic greats Hamilton is nothing , just a political propaganda with background music
I WAS SO SCARED WHEN YOU STARTED TALKING ABOUT IN THE HEIGHTS! I thought you were going to say you hated it (although I then remembered you said you absolutely adored it a few videos back) and I was having a baby heart attack.
I'm only 3 minutes in but Ryan calmly saying "Look at her she's wicked" had me laughing. Edit: Oh! You two like Into The Woods! I understand it's issues, but I love that movie!
I had the EXACT same experience with footloose!! My high school did it when I was in 8th grade and I watched 3/4 of the performances (multiple of which I was alone) and it inspired me to stay in theatre in high school, I am so sad I never got to be in it but it has such a special place in my heart
I'm waitting for September musicals movies - Cinderella, Everybody's talking about Jamie and Dear Evan Hansen. Proshots Come from away (Apple TV+) and Diana (Netflix) too.
i’m super super excited for dear evan hanson to come out! the trailer is absolutely amazing and of course so many people already knows what happens cause duh the musical but the MUSIC IS AMAZING AMD GETS ME IN MY FEELS AND JUST YES 😩
Not trying to start a fight here, but I think that the Greatest Showman is awesome, just not as a movie musical. I wouldn’t consider it as being part of that genre, it’s more of a movie… with music. As a movie, it’s incredible.
I’d have to disagree for the exact opposite reason. I think the movie on its own was pretty bad. The music was nice enough to listen to but as a movie it was already a mediocre concept with barely any interesting plot (also romanticizing a pretty shittt dude). The transitions into the music are what made it so laughably bad to me. I’m not trying to start a fight either tho so if you enjoyed it then that’s cool lol XD
Tgs is one of the most basic uninspired one ever. The fact that they romanticized a real life villain and depicted him to be a dreamer with savior issues is more than cringey. Songs with bad disney level depth, throwaway concepts, contrived and convoluted plotline. And how do you explain that opera singer belting a pop song lol
Yeah, I think the music is absolutely stunning and empowering an amazing. However, I think the movie on its own falls flat. I think a lot of story line is missing and if there was no music, I think there would’ve needed to be more death and backstory and explanations in my opinion. Again, I listen to the music nonstop tho lol.
les mis defies gravity. it’s a comfort movie for me. i love the visuals and the vocals. not russell crowe. but i adore the movie, it’s my favorite musical and favorite movie. the casting is ON POINT
I love Moulin Rouge too! It’s honestly one of my favorite movies and even though I knew Satine was going to die, I still cried, and I almost never cry when I watch movies.
I tried to explain what y'all said about the greatest showman to my non musical theater friends, and they fought me so hard on it, like the music doesn't align with the plot like a musical soundtrack should. It was a movie soundtrack at most, but it just didn't make sense together.
I just watched In The Heights because you guys mentioned it in another video. It was sooooo good! I wasn't expecting to cry so hard. A bit of an emotional rollercoaster! Also I get why people think the Phantom of the Opera movie is not great but I love it so much.
“Gerard Butler all over it.” Absolutely perfect. Super accurate. The movie was good but would’ve been 1000x better if they got someone who could actually sing.
I'm a massive musical theatre fan, and La La Land is a favourite movie musical of mine because I think that feeling of having a beautiful plot you can be emotionally invested in COUPLED with good music and visually appealing set and costume conveyed the right feel of theatre to an audience who would otherwise not see anything theatre-esque- another day of sun is perfect and also things like city of stars and the end scene when they're walking from set to set like they're onstage in the alternate reality.
I I am in desperate need of a part two to this video because there are so many movie musicals that were not talked about that really should have been talked about pleeeaaasseeeee
I personally think that West Side Story shouldn't have automatically been put in the middle just because of a casting choice. Also, what about The Sound of Music?
18:40 I get why you think this, but you have to remember,they had to sing these songs several times in a row. Anne Hathaway was singing for about 10 hours straight on one of the days!!! Also, there was this whole thing with Hugh Jackman not drinking water for several days before filming the first scene. If you want to find out more, watch sideways's video on the les mis movie, I found it really interesting.
You guys should totally do a part 2 once Wicked is out with movies like Dear Evan Hansen, Rent, The Last Five Years, West Side Story (2021) etc Or do a ranking of proshot musicals like Newsies (2017) Hamilton, Heathers, Little Women, Come From Away, etc
The fact that I got a hadestown ad when I clicked on this video, just made it the vibe for the day and I 100000% agree, mama Mia deserves a standing ovation, but the second one tho… flat. 🤌 *chefs kiss*
That is EXACTLY what I think about La La Land and Greatest Showman too. I've always said they're movie musicals curated to make normies think they like musical theatre. I also love the movie adaptation of Into The Woods :))))
hey baes i’m super hyped bcos i got cast off my first audition for our fall play!!! we’re doing sleepy hollow and i’m playing gossip girl #2!!! it’s the biggest role i have ever played and i’m nervous but excited too!! love ur channel sam and ryan u guys are vv iconic
Les Mis has been my favorite musical since I was a toddler and I waited for that movie for years and boy did it fail for me. I get mad just thinking about it. I had such a sinking feeling in the theatre going “oh no. Oh no they f’d it up. There was no way they could have ruined it but they found a way.” Kills me.
I enjoyed this video! Personally, I think you need to do a part 2. There are so many other movie musicals to discuss! I was surprised you didn’t mention Rent. I’m curious to hear what you think. 🧐
I love when Ryan is like “you know what the Masquerade number is supposed to be right?!” Same. Same. Same. Emmy Rossum also just wasntttttt Christine for me. Also. Not enough time in the opera house for me.
Le Mis is my father's favorite musical, as it is the Gospel in the form of a musical. There are two scenes that always have him in tears; the Bishop scene and Bring Him Home. We saw it the day after it came out and it is great.
I had no business watching this at 1am because the number of times I had to stop myself from *cackling* so I wouldn't wake my roommate up was UNreal...
Okay but the REASON I loved the Phantom film was because I used the film to teach myself the E5 flat to then hit the E6 when I was 17. I’m 22 now and I can confirm I LOVE the Broadway show so much better 💚🎭
I have a complicated relationship with the greatest showman. I absolutely loved it when it first came out, then it became over saturated and I couldn’t stand it. some months went by I saw it again and it made me cry. I guess I think it’s pretty good, but as a musical theatre fan I also hated how it was used to be like the front face of musicals. also I can’t stand listening to this is me anymore.
I love knowing that not every musical theater nerd hates Les mis! It's the only movie I've ever cared enough about to go on opening day and I really really loved it
Ryan, your point about Hollywood distorting broadway musicals is on point. There are a few exceptions, like In the Heights, but I’d take a Pro Shot of the performance on broadway over a Hollywood production any day!
Yes, I like the Cats movie. Yes, I like BMC. Yes, I think Love Never Dies is better than Phantom. And yes, I like Heathers West End better (I loved Ryan's JD but, it's mainly bc of You're Welcome, chef's kiss, best song). We exist.
Wow. Moulin Rouge in Defying Gravity? On my tier list, composed prior to the release of Cats, Moulin Rouge falls in Vocal Damage. And I would have to think seriously about elevating it to Flat when Cats came out . . . and I’m still not sure it would move up.
Loved it. Please make a classic movie musical tier list, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland. And/Or what about filmed stage musicals tier list, I already know what would be my top shows there.
Les Mis is my favorite musical score of all time. I was so disappointed in the movie, mostly the first half. I felt like the dramatic acting, sing-talking, and crying ruined the integrity of the music. When the music is performed well, it is so emotionally moving and beautiful. Seeing Ramin Karimloo perform Jean Valjean on Broadway was absolutely stunning.

Yeah also hairspray! One of the best movie musicals for me
Yes! Also, what about Chicago?!
They didnt include a few I thought would be on there
Hairspray is my favorite movie musical. I like it even more than the stage production.
it’s 20x better than the stage production
Oh my goodness you are absolutely right. Hairspray is the SUPERIOR movie musical imo
Tea it's amazing

The fact that I got a hadestown ad when I clicked on this video, just made it the vibe for the day and I 100000% agree, mama Mia deserves a standing ovation, but the second one tho… flat. 🤌 *chefs kiss*
I love how much you love Mamma Mia, it’s one of my all times favourites and all theatre friends shit on it !!
That is EXACTLY what I think about La La Land and Greatest Showman too. I've always said they're movie musicals curated to make normies think they like musical theatre. I also love the movie adaptation of Into The Woods :))))
I just like Emma Stone and went with her character tbh
hey baes i’m super hyped bcos i got cast off my first audition for our fall play!!! we’re doing sleepy hollow and i’m playing gossip girl #2!!! it’s the biggest role i have ever played and i’m nervous but excited too!! love ur channel sam and ryan u guys are vv iconic
Les Mis has been my favorite musical since I was a toddler and I waited for that movie for years and boy did it fail for me. I get mad just thinking about it. I had such a sinking feeling in the theatre going “oh no. Oh no they f’d it up. There was no way they could have ruined it but they found a way.” Kills me.
I enjoyed this video! Personally, I think you need to do a part 2. There are so many other movie musicals to discuss! I was surprised you didn’t mention Rent. I’m curious to hear what you think. 🧐
You should do which is better the movie, or the musical that came from the movie, think mean girls, legally blonde, waitress, lion king, etc...
I love when Ryan is like “you know what the Masquerade number is supposed to be right?!” Same. Same. Same. Emmy Rossum also just wasntttttt Christine for me. Also. Not enough time in the opera house for me.
I’m so excited for this after ryan totally left us on the stream yesterday
Le Mis is my father's favorite musical, as it is the Gospel in the form of a musical. There are two scenes that always have him in tears; the Bishop scene and Bring Him Home. We saw it the day after it came out and it is great.
I had no business watching this at 1am because the number of times I had to stop myself from *cackling* so I wouldn't wake my roommate up was UNreal...
Love to hear your opinions on Rent, The Producers, Reefer Madness, Oliver, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, How To Succeed
This is everything I’ve ever wanted and I haven’t even watched it
I'm wondering, where would you guy's rank Sweeny Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street?
I would like discuss that Anne Hathaway actually shaved her head during the filming of Les Miserables. Iconic
I agree with Ryan on Phantom of the Opera, I love the stage production with all my heart and the movie does not even compete
Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: Defying Gravity.
That is all.
Sam looks like Princess Leia a little bit.
Okay but the REASON I loved the Phantom film was because I used the film to teach myself the E5 flat to then hit the E6 when I was 17. I’m 22 now and I can confirm I LOVE the Broadway show so much better 💚🎭
Into the woods will always have such a fond place in my heart as the first musical I ever starred in.. (I played the wolf if u were wondering)
I have a complicated relationship with the greatest showman. I absolutely loved it when it first came out, then it became over saturated and I couldn’t stand it. some months went by I saw it again and it made me cry. I guess I think it’s pretty good, but as a musical theatre fan I also hated how it was used to be like the front face of musicals. also I can’t stand listening to this is me anymore.
I feel the same
I love knowing that not every musical theater nerd hates Les mis! It's the only movie I've ever cared enough about to go on opening day and I really really loved it
Ryan, your point about Hollywood distorting broadway musicals is on point. There are a few exceptions, like In the Heights, but I’d take a Pro Shot of the performance on broadway over a Hollywood production any day!
Yes, I like the Cats movie. Yes, I like BMC. Yes, I think Love Never Dies is better than Phantom. And yes, I like Heathers West End better (I loved Ryan's JD but, it's mainly bc of You're Welcome, chef's kiss, best song).
We exist.
Wow. Moulin Rouge in Defying Gravity? On my tier list, composed prior to the release of Cats, Moulin Rouge falls in Vocal Damage. And I would have to think seriously about elevating it to Flat when Cats came out . . . and I’m still not sure it would move up.
Yes and the Broadway adaptation of moulin rouge is acc sooo gd
Loved it. Please make a classic movie musical tier list, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland. And/Or what about filmed stage musicals tier list, I already know what would be my top shows there.
omg you guys are the only people who share the same opinion as me on La La Land
i think it’s a beautiful movie but it’s just fine as a musical
Les Mis is my favorite musical score of all time. I was so disappointed in the movie, mostly the first half. I felt like the dramatic acting, sing-talking, and crying ruined the integrity of the music. When the music is performed well, it is so emotionally moving and beautiful. Seeing Ramin Karimloo perform Jean Valjean on Broadway was absolutely stunning.
Am I the only one who realized they are basically matching!!? Its so cute, both in white, space buns, and earing(s)!
the snake earring is a need
