Okay, But Why are They Singing?
By Amanda Nevada Demel
I like horror. I like theatre. I like musicals. Surprising, isn’t it? Here’s a category of horror texts that have been adapted into stage musicals. Horror Books that Were Adapted into Musicals:
- Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
- Carrie by Stephen King*
- The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
- The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
- Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street by Christopher Godfrey Bond
- Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
Honorable Mention goes to American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis!
My personal extra - Evil Dead - The Musical
