the movie is based on the 1982 multiple Tony Award winning broadway musical. It explores a very similar situation and similar themes to 8 1/2 but I don't know that it's really a musical version of the movie.

I've never seen the musical in question but it got some pretty wide acclaim and such so it could be...

People like this give the profession a bad name. Well it was in Europe way back so they...
