Don't worry, Jacob. Just a heads up, that a lot of folks on this board get PMSy when it comes to having multiple threads about something. The search feature on the top of the page (which sometimes does not work too well), should bring you other threads that revolves around what you want to talk about.
Welcome to the board!

Posted: 8/26/06 at 1:59pmCan I get a "GoodFellas" musical?? Featuring the hit opening number "Gettin' Whacked" and the touching solo number "Honey, Why'd You Flush the Crack Down the Toilet?"
No one is alone.

Posted: 8/26/06 at 4:49pmWelcome to the board! Personally, I think there should be at least a five year moratorium on movies being turned into broadway musicals. How about producing something new for a change?

Posted: 8/26/06 at 4:51pmI think How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is a bad idea and would make a horrible broadway show
#11re: What Movie do you want to be made into a musical
Posted: 8/26/06 at 5:07pmHow to Lose a Guy in 10 Days should just stay a movie. I kind of would love to see Wedding Planner, but I doubt that would happen.

Posted: 8/26/06 at 5:16pmLight in the Piazza was a movie. Did you like it???

I agree that original shows should have first priority on Broadway.
But with that being said, I would love to see "A Star Is Born" on stage. This would be of the Judy Garland version, OF COURSE.

Hudsucker Proxy.
But with a new title. Perhaps they could call it How to Try in Business Without Really Succeeding.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

"Light in the Piazza" was a book published in 1960 and written by Elizabeth Spencer before it was a movie so it does not count.
Future Broadway MovieMusicals.
Seven
Psycho
Friday the 13th (any and all chapters)
Assault on Precint 13
The Sixth Sense
Halloween (any and all chapters starting with "Season of the Witch" where the masks explode. That would make a great musical number)
All of the above would "star" a game show contestant and maybe a so-called "singer" like one of the Simpson sisters or Paris or William Hung (he covers both categories as he was a "singer" famous for being rejected by a game show).

"Heaven Can Wait (the 1978 version)and "Working Girl". I'd also say "Moonstruck" but they'd never be able to come close to the film.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Enchanted April
I know it failed as a play (though I loved it), but I think it would make a beautiful musical.

"STOP THE INSANITY ALREADY! NO MORE MOVIES ON BROADWAY!"
jimnysf, some of your favorite shows include Hairspray and Saturday Night Fever which were both movies. I honestly don't think turning movies into musicals is a bad idea! Because some of them turn out very good and some movie plots make excellent musicals.
