Both Broadway and Hollywood give audiences new perspectives on classic themes. Movies and stage shows have found new entryways into ancient mythology, explorations into what it means to be human, and stories of marriages on the brink. They’re tales as old as time — even if they’re now told with minions, monsters, phantoms, and pop stars.
Whether long-celebrated or brand-new, movies and theatre are always in conversation with one another. Not only are many shows based on movies and vice versa, but the two mediums each explore contemporary trends and obsessions in different ways. For movie buffs, what you love on screen might help you figure out what you’d enjoy on stage.
