Well, it's certainly been done with musicals, anyway. See (or don't!)
SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, SUNSET BOULEVARD and ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, to
start. (Someone on another list recently posted an Early Warning that
someone was talking about a stage musical version of CITIZEN KANE!)
It's not really the same thing, but the Minneapolis/Paris-based Theatre
de la Jeune Lune a few years ago did an original work called FILMING
THE DREAM, about the making of CHILDREN OF PARADISE.
