When hit genre movies become unlikely musicals

Does The Evil Dead make you want to break into song?

Can you hum Back To The Future?

Why are so many genre films being turned into musicals?

Maybe, maybe not.

Its coming to the West End next year, as we reported here.

The play has some cracking numbers too, from the swear-y and expository What The Fuck Was That?

The injury toll was ridiculous enough to justify the gag too.

Also, Warner Bros was later able to scratch that itch with the well-received, non-musicalBatman Livearena show.
