What is the corniest and just worst musical idea you can think of??
After reading the Legally Blondemusical post it reminded me of the movie "Bring It On" and oh man... that would hilarious, in a bad way though lol.
So, what you guys think would be some horrible, corny, lame, etc musicals?

lol, The Godfather... that's good and gives me ideas.
What about War of the Worlds? Actually with crazy effects maybe it'd be kinda cool... but then again, not really, that would just be lame and should probably stay away from theatre.

How about a midwestern girl who moves to New York to become a famous writer...or marry rich...who, despite many obstacles...finds her true love and lives happily ever after.
It's TOTALLY original.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang...lol
hm..i'm gonna say Spongebob Squarepants the musical
"No two shows are alike in the making. Each show is a living
piece of your life in a small unreal world with its own character
and integrity; its own new set of memorable experiences and
incredible happenings. You begin to love and adapt to its strangeness.
Dreams harden into substance. Values come into focus. You wish
it would never end. The dream world vanishes like mist before a
rising sun; part of you vanishes with it. And back you land in the
real world with a thud- fogged, uneasy, jittery, difficult to get
along with. There is only one cure. A new show. A new, small
unreal world; new visions, experiences, incredible happenings.
Again you love it, adapt to it, wish it would never end.
But end it does. Another part of you vanishes.
That's show business."-Anonymous

Posted: 8/7/05 at 6:31pmTo continue on with my mobster musical mentality what about Scarface the musical?? I picture it as highly emotional with a few love song ballads in there what do you think?

Matrix - The Musical
The "bullet time" scene would be so great on stage. Not.
(Not that it wouldn't be better than the movie version, which stunk big time).

I think somebody might have mentioned this in another post, but I think that a Star Wars musical would be really corny and really bad.
It's hard for me to picture characters like Darth Vader and Han Solo singing.

What if someone were to make a musical about all of Dr. Seuss's stories? Combine them all together, and then have all the characters speak in rhyme... oh wait.

Posted: 8/7/05 at 11:06pmWhat about Britney Spears' Crossroad-The musical! written by and starring Britney Spears as a poor girl on a road trip with her childhood friends looking for her lost mother. Now that is corniest than corny.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned this...
A bunch of ****cats (EDIT: I guess the filter's on... I didn't mean anything obscene) They all sing and dance. How about a musical about their lives? And how difficult and fun it is to be a cat...

Posted: 8/7/05 at 11:15pmToo funny, can't get cornier than singing and dancing cats! Maybe Lloyd Webber should add it to his list of corny shows!
