Disney Channel, the Musical!
Act One would cover such immortal classics as Ducktales, Goof Troop, and Darkwing Duck. Then, Act Two would look at modern hits like Kim Possible (Dr. Drakken sings!), Hannah Montana, and High School Musical.
Note: Even though I listed Kim Possible, that does not mean I don't like the show. It and Danny Phantom are my only favorite shows that are currently showing new episodes, and I am sad that they are both almost over.

I got into the NYU grad musical theatre writing program with a show I wrote called Jon Benet: A Love Story! I wrote it, but I still acknowledge that it's a terrible idea for a musical.
Unibomber the one man musical could be pretty awful.
The thing about all of these bad ideas is that with the right sense of humor, a lot of them could be amazing, a la Silence!

Mr. Roxy-
There IS a War of the World's musical. It has a 2-Disc cast recording
There is also a Poseidon Adventure musical (Done by Hell in a Handbasket)
Someone actually wrote one based on Misery...don't think it ever got performed.

I believe that there already IS a Myspace the Musical! lol I heard something about one being in the works....songs were performed from it somewhere....yeah, I don't remember the details. I just remember hearing about it and thinking "Well, that's strange!"
Maybe FACEBOOK!- A Rock Opera.
Or maybe YOUTUBE! A Musical Spectacular! Now that would be pretty damn fabulous.

I believe the Myspace musical is called "Top 8"
My horrible idea is "The Blair Witch Project: In Musical Review"
It will open up with "Into the Woods" and somewhere would have "Totally Fu**ed"

Oh, and I loved the America's Top Model idea.
Can you see her break down at the end of "I wanna be like Oprah" just like Mama in "Rose's turn"?

Or what about a Paula Deen musical named after her restaurant, "The Lady & Sons."
It could be creepy-- but not really -- and gay -- but not really. Just like her and her sons' shows!
