If Cats taught us anything, it's that it's not easy to take a Broadway superstar play and bring it to the big screen. But lucky for us it can be done, and be done well. First in this episode we cover 2007s Hairspray, starring too many big names to list. This movie-turned-Broadway-musical-turned-movie again takes advantage of all the special tricks the movie screen offers that the stage doesn't. Then we have Chicago, a personal favorite for both of us. This Oscar-winning powerhouse brought us the unstoppable duo of Renee Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones and we are forever grateful. Enjoy!
