I think cinema has outstripped theater more than theater has declined.

I suppose in the end it's still a "net decline," but more people than ever are being exposed to musicals and theater performances. It's an important distinction to make, in my mind.

Obviously I have musicals on the brain.

If sf/f relies on effects, then it doesn't deserve respect.

I'm not saying it can be done or relies on effects. I'm just saying it might be tricky

The board ends up being about books, but it's actually titled "Sci-Fi & Fantasy."

Yes, but the site is read and find out. Maybe you should go to listen and find out? *NM*

Which is an interesting example.

Very silly. Less silly, though, when you consider the lack of a Theater/Musicals board. *NM*

Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide stories were originally radio plays

Which in turn reminds me of the infamous War of the Worlds radio broadcast with Orson Welles... *NM*

Yes, well, it was a fairly weak defense when you started using it.

I'd have to agree with you - it has become more of a niche.

I don't know, I've seen a theater adaptation of The Hobbit, for instance...

Not quite sure what I was thinking about cinema either. My defense was that it was 3 in the morning.

I would definitely count Little Shop of Horrors among some sort of sf/f mold.

Definitely. But again, it's campy and ludicrous.

Repo! The Genetic Opera, both the play and the film were great. = Rocky-Horror + Bladerunner *NM*
