Here's just a couple:

Raise Your Voice the Musical
A Cinderella Story the Musical
Blades of Glory the Musical
Duke's of Hazard
Pirates of the Caribbean (Disney WOULDN'T...would they?)

And one that if it was ever even CONSIDERED, I would lose all faith/love for Broadway:

The Incredibles: The Super Musical

I think France has pretty much shown us how NOT to do a musical version of the following. Let's see:

The Ten Commandments
Gone With the Wind
Romeo and Juliet
Gladiator
The Little Prince (is the opera any good?)
Don Juan
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
The Sun King aka Le Roi Soleil

I'm just obsessed with these shows cuz they're so lame they're good.

I just posted about it in the what the hell?! thread, but two shows that I've seen that were awful musical ideas were a musical version of Macbeth and a musical version of Antigone called "Antigone's Last Dance" and described as a hip-hopera. Please know that as awful as it sounds, it's nothing compared to what it was. Pain and torture!

I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Musical. I totally see somebody trying to do this one as sort of a Sweeney Todd -type show --- only to find out that it doesn't work.

Some of the songs included would be:

"One Wild Night" - The opening number that shows the Julie, Helen, Barry, and Ray at a house party. Barry and Ray are getting drunk. At the end of the song, the four leave to go home as the party goes on.

"Dead, or Just Unconscious?" - The song sung by the teenagers after they ran over Ben Willis, and are trying to decide if they should dispose of the body. Julie is the only one who thinks the man isn't dead, while Barry and Ray are convinced he is.

"Revenge" - An "Epiphany" - type song where Willis vows to hunt down and kill the teenagers who ran him over.

"Messages" - Sort of like the "Notes" sequence in Phantom where the teenagers compare the messages they have received and you hear the slasher's voice singing the contents of the note.

Pretty bad idea, huh?? I think a part of me would die inside if something like this ever came to Broadway.

A satanic barber and his crazy landlady kill people and bake them into meat pies which results in a booming pie business.

Oh wait...

Transformers: The Musical

The Special Effects budget would be HUGE for that one. Although I think I would go and see it just to see how they handled the transformations

Halo the Musical! PERFECT for musical fans to drag their Microsoft XBox-loving significant others to. Watch Master Chief shoot the crap out of his enemies while singing such memorable tunes such as "Pwned" and "Pillar of Autumn"!

(For the record, I'm not a Halo fan, so don't ask me about it.)

Other "great" ideas include:
*Project Runway: The Musical. Songs would include "Auf'ed!", "Red Lobster" and "Where The Hell Is My Chiffon?".
*James Bond. SURELY they can fit all those movies into ONE MUSICAL!
*Kite Runner.

Bow before the cuteness of my cousin!!! ;]

Upper East Side Story - The Nanny Diaries Musical

Around the World in 80 Days - A Touring Production!
(the downside is, you only get to see the section of the musical that takes place in your part of the world)

And there IS a MySpace Musical. It's called top eight. And I think it's ACTUALLY happening. Like for real. i like the songs, but I have no idea what the story could possibly be about. Unless it's like a revue or something.

Silence of the Lambs: An Operetta

starring Sutton Foster as Clarice Starling

I'm pretty sure if Sondheim wrote the score it'd still be pretty amazing!
