a musical about a murderous barber...what a terrible idea for a musical!
I would add...a show about the incredibly cranky and bitter old bag mother of a stripper
WHAT A HORRIBLE IDEA!!!!
it all in the telling....

eechhh...after not one but THREE movie versions (plus a TV MOVIE!! BLECHH!!!) I hear they are writing a musical about a deformed guy who kills a lot of innocent people cause someone didn't like his lousy songs Updated On: 7/8/04 at 02:09 PM
How about dancing and singing farmers from nowhere hickville. And on top of that, they will not have the glitz and glamour of the usual musical that everyone adores. How absurd.
A musical about marathon dancers...oh wait - turns out that WAS a terrible idea.
A Musical about Siamese Twins and a bunch of Freaks??? Never !!!

Poor people and student revolutions in France? Bah!
A white girl and Puerto Rican boy falling in love? Whatever!
A young girl on a Greek island who doesn't know who her father is and set to the music of Abba? Oh wait...
Oh My Goodness Marc, I love your userpic.
hey, let's stick to the undeniable classics, or else this thread will go under fast!
and spi, that hick musical is based on some book....why can't they think of ORIGNAL ideas?!?!
How about a family of nine climbing through the Alps to escape the Nazis?

I know I made that comment about the movies turning into musicals.......I have seen the error of my ways. And what is this about a book? People actually read?
Stoopid cartoons, a musical based on a red headed lil' gimp of an orphan and her mangy dog too!
Nevah gonna happen!
Mom, that's sounds like the end of musical theatre as we know it...God save us if it ever hits the boards!!
Amen Marc!
How about a show with a bunch of flea infested cats in heat howling at the moon and rooting through trash cans
Don't get me started on crazy ideas like a bald guy playin' the King of Siam, crazy man, solid crazy!
a musical about a political diva who wants to help the poor in her country
how about a whackado who thinks she sees a hairy beast and talks to singing pots and pans?
That crazy beeyatch needs to be commited!

A musical about a painting??? Something that just hangs there on the wall???? What's up with that???
Or how about a bunch a wannabe broadway dancers sharing their life stories to a director just so they can be in the background of a hit musical.
who'd want to see a show about people standing in a line telling some of their most intimate stories about love and theatre???
How about two guys who want to make the big bucks by over selling shares in their musical?
As long as there is never a musical about people who have to pay to urinate. That would end theatre as we know it.

Or a musical about people with no money living in NYC and some have AIDS? Who'd wanna watch?!

"Okay, let's see if I have this straight: This black chick blows into town, kills someone, hooks up with a few other outsiders, and the whole gang goes on a killing spree after being 'hired' by the ruler of the country? Sorry, can't see it. Pass!"
