The World According to Garp.
"No glove, no love"
What's the next 80's film to come to Broadway NOW??
Ok now with Fame, Xanadu, Footloose, Ghost, Dirty Dancing, Silence of the Lambs, Flashdance done.....
The following have NEVER been on Broadway:
FAME
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
DIRTY DANCING
FLASHDANCE (slated for Broadway)
THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS isn't an 80s movie and there was already a GOONIES musical made.
I want a RUTHLESS PEOPLE and a HOWARD THE DUCK musical.
I want them mixed together as "Ruthless Duck."
Other '80s movies to hopefully grace the Great White Way:
Field of Dreams -- I want a cornfield built and torn down on stage for a baseball diamond. Maybe they can just use "Shoeless Joe From Hannibal, MO" from Damn Yankees as one of the songs!
The Big Chill -- nothing says "Broadway musical" like a bunch of people sitting around talking in a living room.
The Breakfast Club -- nothing says "Broadway musical" like a bunch of teenagers sitting around talking in detention.
St. Elmo's Fire -- just because.
Zapped --- same reason.
Cocoon --- just think, it could be like "Follies" but with aliens and spaceships!
Short Circuit.
Jen Cody IS Johnny 5.
Jen Cody is ALIVE!
Jen Cody IS Howard the Duck!
Obviously either Halloween III: Season of the Witch or Rain Man
And who's to say which is which?
Broadcast News!, Working Girl or Wall Street
I've said for years that I wish Carly Simon would write music for a WORKING GIRL musical. I think it could be amazing.
Also, A CHORUS LINE.
I love that movie!!
Let the River ... TAP!
RHINESTONE with Megan Hilty and Cheyenne Jackson
oh, and STREETS OF FIRE.
I could definitely see Working Girl being a good musical.
What about Xanadu or Ghost? I think they'd both make excellent musicals.
GHOST is a 90s movie, so clearly it would be a flop.
Dead Poet's Society. Not sure if that is eighties or not.
Other surefire hits, especially if they're on ice!
Aliens
Blade Runner
Top Gun
Robocop
First Blood
Tron
An American Werewolf in London
Coming To America
... and the obvious choice ... Diehard.
Hairspray just SCREAMS for a musical adaptation.
That's not screaming, Taz. That's just today's modern belt voice.
Actually is was just Eden Espinosa at Duane Reade asking what aisle it was in.
What about FEDS?
Or my personal number one pick: License to Drive!
Starring Corey Montieth and Corey Cott.
