do you think they could make SING (movie) into an updated broadway show, like have a show within the show? would it even work??

We have offically ended all original forms of thought.

Ooh, can you add "SHOUT" to that list?


P.S. Zzzanahk...having a show within a show has been done numerous times on Broadway.

I've always loved "The Bachelorette" video by Bjork.

i love the songs from sing, and while i understand that part of an broadway show is the suspending disbelief how do you separate the stage as a stage and as a setting

For a fantastic musical version of stage within a stage see a version of Follies, it is the "dream sequence style" and fabulous.
A play with a "realistic" set, Noises Off springs to mind.

These are just the first two I thought of, a director of ANY talent at all can pull it off.

what about for a local theater, what i guess i meant was a musical, not a broadway show, the two seem to be the same in my mind. but i would love to try to write this, i am just confused with how to start.

would you incorperate the audience. like the usher in drs who is an usher to the audience but also a part of the show?

Well, there are many...like

Gypsy
Funny Girl
The Actor's nightmare
The Phantom of the Opera
Wicked
Pippin
The Mystery of Edwin Drood (now titled Drood)

All use plays within plays in their shows.

Ever heard of these shows, Zanna?

Justice, it seems like all you do on these boards in insult the way other people think. So if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t bother posting where I post. I don’t want to copy another show; I want to understand how to artistically draw a boundary for the audience.

In fact it seems like that’s all the most of the people on these boards do. People are supposed to have different opinions or the forum wouldn’t exist, it would just be a mass of people agreeing with what anyone said. Yeah, that sounds like tons of fun. If people didn’t have different ideas there would be no more art to create

"Justice, it seems like all you do on these boards in insult the way other people think."

Listen, "stand-by", you haven't been on these boards long enough to know what and when i post. I am a LEGEND (thank you) and I have the right to post what I want when I want.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled thread...

I don't mean to sound rude, but you started this thread, asked peoples opinions, they aren't what you were probably looking for, and now I'm sorry, you have to just get over it. People are allowed to express their views on these message boards and if they were bad, the mods would delete them, so they are not, so you shouldn't over react. I have no idea what SING even is, but I just came to this thread just to put in my two cents.
