I just hope it doesnt stop other musicals from becoming movie musicals they literally picked the worst one this was just an ego project from ben despy trying to be taken as a serious actor obvs wanted an Oscar BUT HE WONT GET ONE
i dont think it will stop musicals from happening but i do think that its trendy nowadays to use the filming of the actual broadway show and put it on direct to streaming instead of making a fully fledged movie adaption, that is a way cheaper alternative for the people who own the rights to those musicals
Surprisingly the age of Ben wasn't a big issue since everyone in the movie looked like they were adults and not teens
The biggest issues is them trying to make Evan the hero but cutting all the songs that show what Evan is doing is wrong, and second the musical transitions between each song just are laughable. This movie was completely laughable as a stand alone piece to be completely honest.
Heck even Ben's acting, he shouldn't have been in the movie, like he's a good actor don't get me wrong but it was obvious he was more used to musical theater stage acting then camera acting if that makes sense
