totally random but "Big Business: the musical" - based on the 1988 movie with Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin playing 2 sets of twins separated at birth.

KING STEVOS

After this weekend, I'd have to say, "Hot Feet".
How about ...
Big: The Musical
I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change
M*A*S*H: The Broadway Musical
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
First Wives Club? How do you all feel about this one since it is a new musical?
The Wedding Singer
I love Big and I Love You, You're Perfect...
And I really enjoyed the Wedding Singer
I really disagree with these Bad Musical Ideas threads... I don't think any idea can be inherently bad... Every groundbreaking piece of musical theater has been about a subject that many would've deemed "bad" had they been judging it in advance, i.e.
"A musical about Sweeney Todd?! Yuck"
And who would've thought that one of the latest artistically, critically, and financially succesful shows on Broadway would be about a middle school spelling bee?
Come on. The genius of musical theater is telling a story in an original, enlightening, and entertaining way. How can a story be any of those things if it's not surprising in its subject matter?
I'm not taking the thread too seriously... it's funny to joke about these things. I just wanted to express my opinion that an idea cannot be inherently bad- the execution is far more significant than the idea in producing a great piece of theatre.
I Love, You're Perfect Now Change is HORRIBLE! i work at a theatre in dallas where it ran and ran and ran for like 7 seven years...ugh, i don't understand how people could come see it more than once. it was painful.

Harry Potter: The Musical
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Musical
Miss Congeniality: The Musical
Christine: The Musical
"The Chronicles of Narnia: The Musical"
It's already been done and it was terrible. It's called "Narnia" based off "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" Bad music and changes a lot from the book.
The Birds the Musical
Psycho The Musical
Phantasm the Musical
Thesbijean, I think I would kill myself if Things Fall Apart came to stage...

On the other hand, I think Mike Nichols doing "Ed Wood" would be hysterical.
