![]() The 1959 Billy Wilder film “Some Like it Hot” earned six Academy Award nominations itself, winning for Best Costume Design. SEE Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman interview: ‘Some Like it Hot’ composers All three of these source films went on to win at the Oscars as well. The latter is one of the few examples, along with “Once” and “The Lion King”, where the Broadway production adapted a film that was already a musical. “The Band’s Visit,” based on a 2007 Israeli film, took home trophies in all but one of its categories in 2018, while “Moulin Rouge!” earned 10 statuettes out of 14 nominations. The other two Best Musical winners matched the “Billy Elliot” win haul of 10. Other big Tony performers include “Sunset Boulevard,” “The Lion King” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” all of which received 11 nominations and won seven, six and six Tonys, respectively. Two years later, “Spamalot,” based on “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” earned 14 nominations, winning four Tonys. “Hairspray” was a Tony sensation, earning a haul of 13 nominations and eight wins. There have been countless other historically-successful adaptations on Broadway, including 2003’s “Hairspray,” based on an ‘80s John Waters film. Another successful adaptation of a Fellini film is “Sweet Charity,” based on his 1957 film “Nights of Cabiria,” which over three runs on Broadway has received a combined 17 Tony nominations and five wins, including for Bob Fosse’s choreography in the original 1966 run. The 2003 revival earned another six nominations and a pair of wins. “Nine,” based on Federico Fellini’s “8½,” received 12 nominations and five wins, including Best Musical, in its original run of 1986. The 15-nomination haul for each of these productions is impressive, but another film-to-stage musical has managed to earn even more nominations (18) over two separate runs on Broadway. SEE Scott Pask (‘Shucked’ and ‘Some Like it Hot’ scenic designer) on leaping from an ‘off-kilter’ barn to an Art Deco ‘crucible’ His musical adaptation was so beloved that he followed it up by writing an adaptation of the musical into yet another movie, this one starring the main cast of the Broadway production: Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. The original “The Producers,” on the other hand, is considered more of a cult film, getting a mixed critical and commercial reception when it was released – though it did win Brooks his only Oscar (for screenplay). The 2000 film on which the musical is based was a smash hit at the box office. “Billy Elliot the Musical” had big shoes to fill. “Billy Elliot” ended up winning 10 of its categories, including Best Musical, three years after the original London production took home Best New Musical at the Laurence Olivier Awards. Its nominations record was matched by “Billy Elliot the Musical” in 2009, and then broken by “Hamilton” in 2016 (with 16 noms), but its wins record remains unchallenged.
