musical adaptations
Songs replacing dialogue
Musical adaptations are stage or screen productions that transform existing works—novels, plays, films, or other source material—into musicals.
The term emphasizes the process of reshaping a story to incorporate songs, dance, and musical storytelling: The musical adaptation of Les Misérables became more famous than the novel.
Many Broadway hits are adaptations rather than original works.
