It's a bit of theatricality/"heightened reality" that people usually don't question live in a theatre, but our movie-watching culture norms are so different that it doesn't translate that well.

And not just sung-through musicals-- I think the score of Ragtime is amazing (I consider it the best musical of the 1990s), and the subject matter and large interconnected cast would work well on screen... but there's barely any fourth wall. Characters talk to the audience all the time, speak in the third person, remove themselves from their characters to comment on the action. I'm describing it like it's some Brechtian nightmare concept-piece, but while yeah there's some elements of that, it's not the overwhelming audience experience because the characters aren't completely abstracted, just stylized. To make a movie of it, it would need a completely different book because Terrance McNally's highly theatrical adaptation wouldn't translate to film.
