The Toy. That should give us plenty of fodder for at least 27 more "racism in the theater" discussions.

Perfect.

I am surprised that no one has created a musical based on the cult film "Times Square" from 1980. The two lead characters, Nicky Marotta and Pamela Pearl, could so easily have songs written around them. With the success of "American Idiot", "Times Square" could easily be adapted into a musical. The storyline has a punk rock ethic and the father of the Pamela Pearl character is behind the revitalization of Times Square (and the building of the Marriott Marquis), while the two girls represent the gritty side of New York.

It's not an 80s movie, but Julie Taymor must direct "Apocalypse Now, The Musical".
And of course Rob Marshall will do "All That Jazz, The Stage Musical" with none of the Fosse choreography. (Ok, not an 80s movie either)

Posted: 9/4/12 at 5:26pmThe Accused sounds fun, huh? Okay...good story...a bit morbid, but I guess they could try to make it fun.

All you have to do is add and exclamation point: "The Accused!"
And of course a peppy show curtain. Then you're set.

How could a musical with PINBALL not be fun?!?!
They could even set up machines in the lobby for people to play! And the prongs could be Jodie Fosters legs!

Posted: 9/4/12 at 5:30pmWhat about THE HUNGER? That's another one that seems custom made for Ivy & Iowa.

Posted: 9/4/12 at 5:30pmReplicas of Jody Foster's womanhood could be sold to men at the souvenire stand along with masks of the mens faces from the film. Then married couples can reenact it at home.
