Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:17pmWhy do you do this to yourself? At least Google won't make fun of you.

I second the headdesking Margo.
It started as a play, and I believe is still one of the longest running thrillers. Had several major cast changes, including Robert Reed of "Brady Bunch" fame. My lighting project was on this play, and it's a lot of fun.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:31pmAnd it's probably had more than 10,000 productions around the country since the 70s. It seemed like every college, dinner theatre, community theatre and semi-professional company did the damn thing at one point or another for the next 20 years afterwards (partly because it's cheap and only needs one set and a small cast, plus audiences loved it). By comparison, the movie barely caused a blip on the radar.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:32pmThey should also make a Broadway version of the film "Dreamgirls", I saw it the other day and I thought it would be good on Broadway. :P

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:36pmI'm listening to the soundtrack to COMPANY, starring some Raul person. I've never seen the movie, but it sounds like it'd be AWESOME on Broadway!

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:38pmehhh, a stage version of Dreamgirls would be horrible. I don't see it working. I mean, Beyonce created that role, and IMO, no one else would be able to do it justice.

I'd like to see a non-musical version of HAIRSPRAY on the big screen.
I know. Crazy talk.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:41pmugggh, exactly. Dialogue is the death of musicals.

Posted: 4/21/07 at 3:43pmI know! Like, the other day, I saw this other Jennifer woman, trying to copy Jennifer Hudson's song - like she even sang the song the same way, but she was, really, like, older....not cool to try to copy Jennifer Hudson after she won the Oscar and everything.

I read that the music for the SWEENEY TODD movie was written by Sondheim. I'm sure it's going to be AWESOME!
Do you think they'll write it for a Broadway musical too?
