So it was essential this book add something new. And just adding music notes in speech bubbles to indicate people are singing is vastly inferior to hearing the great songs. I really don't see any point in reading this as it's not anywhere near as much fun as watching the movie. The artwork is a photorealism style that appears to just add colour on top of stills from the movie - either way, the art is way too dark and muddy as some panels are so dark it's difficult to make out what's happening. The story changes or adds nothing from the original except it leaves some stuff out. In that case, the adaptation was almost nothing like the original source material, while in this case it's way too much like the movie. This graphic lit adaptation of the movie has the exact opposite problem from the "Mars Attacks" graphic book I just finished.
