Theatrical producers, perhaps the only people dumber than TV executives -- although book publishers may also be in the running -- are churning out a slew of musicals (most probably not off the drawing board yet) based on movies. "'There is a poverty of ideas, a dearth of invention afoot,' sighs critic John Simon of New York magazine, who called the late The Dance of the Vampires - a musical rendering of a Roman Polanski film - 'a new low.'"
IS? Don't you mean has been, Mr. Simon?
