Wasn’t there a Broadway show too?

Seems there was a musical that toured with hopes of making it to Broadway but it was a flop.

oh yea i forgot about that!
shareFamily probably needs some Netflix money
shareNormally I'd ask why you're criticizing something you haven't even watched. But here, you happen to be right. I am watching it and it's dull, dull, dull.
shareYeah, I loved the movie and Selena’s music but this series is dry. The actress does not have the charm or beauty of the real Selena or J Lo. There is no drama either, just a lot of superfluous details that no one cares about. How many scenes of motel rooms, wardrobe racks and pitstops?
shareI think I figured out why. The new series has introduced Selena to a younger generation who wasn't born during her lifetime. I see a lot of young people discovering her music for the first time.
shareTo people who say that, my response is have you never heard of home video?
I especially hear that when I hear the Disney live-action remake trend being discussed, and people say that Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King needed to be remade to be introduced to a younger generation. No they didn't. Not only do we have DVDs anyone can buy for their kids (that's how I got introduced to the classics), but Disney owns many networks in which they can air the classics if they so choose.
Also, I've seen Selena on HBO a couple of times. We also have Selena's music that anyone has access to and can introduce to their kids.
That excuse only serves as a cover for corporate greed.
I agree that it's mainly about corporate greed. They can remake something which has already proven to be a success.
But, millennials are less likely to watch old movies, TV shows and listen to old music, too.
