I think I heard somewhere that the next one they were thinking of was Hunchback. Not sure why that one. I would rather Mulan.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree. ~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel. ~Curtains~
It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known. ~A Tale of Two Cities ~
I don't think that they closed beauty and the beast because they wanted to close the show. they did it because it was the theatre space they needed. I don't believe this whole " one princess show" rule. I feel that they came up with this rule because they wanted to make it seem logiical that they were closing beauty.

Newsies should of been the next one made into a musical, but the one the should really get broadway treatment and its a shock it hasn't already(cept in Germany) is Hunchback of Nortre Dame-that was made for broadway and has has contributions from three mega hit shows(Lyrics from writer of Wicked, Story by same author of Les Miz, music by Alan Meken)
Whats about a jukebox musical about Walt Disney featuring songs from all of his movies. He did have quite an interesting life, but maybe not one that Broadway audiences might gel with unfortunetly.
