There was a Broadway musical of the Titanic, around the time of the movie. The musical lasted the entire time (iceberg to sinking). The movie, 3 hours, well past the time it took the ship to think.
I’ve always felt the movie was nice but the play was much better. It does however fit back into your theme.
The reality of a Broadway musical, even with a touring company, is that at best it will reach less than 10% of the world’s population. A movie, Bollywood or Hollywood can be seen by 30% of the world’s population.
The reality of messaging is as much the intended audience as it is anything else.
