High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Literary adaptation is the adapting of a literary source to another genre or medium, such as a film, a stage play, or even a video game. It can also involve adapting the same literary work in the same genre or medium, just for different purposes, e.g., to work with a smaller cast, in a smaller venue, or for a different demographic group. A recent trend is to make a musical out of the songs or a musical act, such as Mamma Mia! the broadway musical based on the recordings of the Swedish rock group ABBA. The musical theatrical revue Smokey Joe's Cafe, too, was based on a number of songs, including those of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. A trend begun with Little Shop of Horrors in 1995, continued with The Producers in 2005, and most recently tried with Hairspray in 2007, is to adapt the Broadway musical, that was originally adapted from a motion picture, back into film. Just as video games have been adapted from films, motion pictures are now being adapted from video games.
