Is their a term for the style of musicals from the late 60s- early 80s?  Sep 12 2020, 03:31:27 PM

Is their a term for the style of movie  musical(and broadway) that was prevalent  through the late 60s- to the early 80s. Musicals like Rocky Horror,Xanadu,The Apple,Can't Stop the Music, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club ,Band on the Road  and to some extent Starlight Express,The Wiz.  

What I call them are Acid musicals,  A  campy and avant grade  musical typically with a rock soundtrack that has lose plo

Dose West Side Story better or Worst with the Sharks being Puerto Ricans ?  Jul 10 2019, 11:59:19 AM

As great as West Side Story is,It bugs me every time I watch or see it that the Sharks are Puerto Ricans. Why? Becuse Puerto Ricans are American citizens!  The song America dosn't work for me for this reason.Becuse when the Sharks are discussing whether  Puerto Rico or the USA is better. They act like it was hard for them to move to USA and Puerto Rico isn't part of the USA. I mean in reality, Rosalia and the gang could go back to the Puerto Rico as

Perfect casting for a revival that never has happened  Jan 17 2019, 10:18:28 PM

I think Seth McFarland and Kristen Bell for Music Man 

While not a fan of Seth Mcfarland, I've always felt he was born to play Harold Hill on Broadway he has the voice,the syle the look and personality of a Harold Hill and Kristen Bell looks the part and i have a feeling she could hit the high notes if she tried

 

You?


Addy and Uno Broadway chances  Jan 6 2019, 08:38:41 PM

Just heard about this musical. I was wondering if it has a chance of Broadway? As an experiment, Thier has never been a Broadway show for toddlers and it is nice to get some diversity in genres on Broadway. Seem's like something  Helen Hayes Theatre could do.


Why don't they make cheep family friendly musicals anymore?  Nov 27 2018, 06:37:14 PM

High school musicals are like the only way a lot of people experience the art of theater and it is nice if there was a cheaper and more family-friendly musicals being made so high schools can do them.
same for community theater 


Do you think a Bye Bye Bride revival set in the modern age would work?  Nov 25 2018, 04:16:50 PM

The satire and themes are still relevant, and you could make it a statement on who teens never really change.

Tern Conrad Bridie into a You Tube/musicaliy star, update the rock songs to rap or pop songs and make the Ed Sulvlain song about Steven Colbert or Jame Cordon. The only problem I see you facing is Why Conrad needs to go into the army.

Do you think that would work?


Movie musicals surprised dont have stage addptions  Oct 12 2018, 09:07:51 PM

You could get rid of Sweethaven entirely and make the opening Blow Me Down. Honestly Sweethaven is pointless number becuse Blow Me Down dose the same and job  Sweethaven intronceding the town and we learn about popye as a character 


Movie musicals surprised dont have stage addptions  Oct 11 2018, 08:24:01 PM

 know its a joke that every movie gets a musical these days, but Broadway is days.But its true. So with that being shocked to see dont have stage versions.

 

for me Popeye(1980) honestly I'm shocked they haven't tried to do a stage version of that movie. I dont the sets would be a problem even the climax of the story with the octopus. In fact I think it might do better as a stage version then a flim version. The only reason I can think Viacom not


Japanese Musicals coming to broadway?  Sep 16 2018, 11:39:47 AM

Do you think their will ever be a chance for musicals from japan to make it to broadway?

I'm no okaku or anything but It be interesting to see some of the musicals they have made based of the Anime/manga their to make it to broadway.


Official Recordings of Broadway show are eligible for The National Flim registry and Criterion collection apparently  Aug 29 2018, 04:22:56 PM

(SORRY IF I ALREADY POSTED THIS BUT I DIDN'T SEE IT SHOW UP IN THE FEED AND I THINK I MIGHT HAVE NOT POSTED THIS EARLIER 

Anyway,So I asked some from the Criterion Collection and the National Film  Registry and they said it is possible for Archival recordings to become to be added to their collections. The person  Criterion said you can suggest any want, and The National flim registry person  said they have  never been suggested, But if it's shot on film and not intended for like Television it most likely counts, and worth a shot on nominating them.I asume they would both prefer the  musicals and plays that haven't gotten a film adaption though.

With the Criterion collection it is a big deal as it could possibly mean high quality 4k remasters of classic broadway classics or  even flops that have never gotten a release!! The only problem they would have is finding a Good Official Recoding of The Show, And the only place that would have a recording of the show is The New York Public Library, Which as we all know TOFT is very restrictive  about letting their recordings be disputed.But I think with the creditability and prestige of the Criterion with a little persuasion and Permission of the original director and producers /thier Estate  it is very much possible they could get permission of both.

Here are some musicals I would love in either or both, and would suggest that you suggest that to them.

Starlight Express(Criterion)

Cats(Both)

Avenue Q(both)

Sunday in the Park with George(Flim registry)

Mose Murders If such Recording exists  (  Criterion)

Miss Saigon(flim registry)

Avenue Q movie  Aug 29 2018, 10:14:44 AM

To be fair,

The show has some brand recognition,and has Robert Lopez attached,who has major ties to Disney,so it is possible  If Robert wanted  to he could maybe convince Disney to do it, and they might say yes as a reward for Frozen and Coco.But when  20th century  Fox merger is finalized of course 


Avenue Q movie  Aug 28 2018, 07:19:51 PM



 

So after the failure of HappyTime Murders ive gotten back into Avenue Q ,I feel we desperately need a movie version. Happytime Murders pissed me off so much, in all it’s everything Avenue Q already done terribly. Plus Avenue Q has kind of fallen out of the public conscious as oddly enough I've met more people that who have herd of Meet Feebles and Wonder Showzen which I consider more obscure ,which is sad  as it the best adult puppet show
