Especially for fantasy, as many of the most popular and successful musicals fit nicely into that category. Alice in Wonderland, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella...
Right now on Broadway, you could go see Wicked, the Lion King, or the Addams Family which are all fantasy. Or you could go see Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark, for some sci-fi.

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*

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

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 think cinema has outstripped theater more than theater has declined.

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.
