I had read it somewhere but is it being transferred to Broadway? (or workshop, tryout etc.)
Big Fat Greek Wedding in the works?

A no-brainer. Anne Brummel for the lead, please =) First thing I thought she'd be perfect for when I saw her.

I have always thought that this movie would make a great musical! I hope they do it- it would be fun! Oh and I just watched the video of Anne- you're right- she would be perfect!

From somebody that comes from a "Big Fat Greek" family, I would die if this came to broadway. The movie is one of my all time favorites and is so true to those classic Greek families. This would make a fantastic play. I'm not sure on the musical, but I'm sure that they can pull something great together. (I'm a sucker for classic sounding Greek music...)
And you are so spot on with that video of Anne Brumel! Wow! She would make an unbelievable Toula! And I know it would never happen, but if they got Andrea Martin to reprise her role of Aunt Voula on stage... I don't know what I'd do. I loove me some Andrea haha

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LLLOOOVVEE this movie, but the film lacks of the essential story arks that make a musical work. The story would have to be completely reworked in order for this to be a musical.

As tired as I am of movies adapted to musicals.....I think this one could have some real promise. I like that they have to change it a bit to make it work....but I'd be interested in its progress.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Winokur would work, but his Anne girl seems better.

When I first saw this thread that is what I thought of. I was thinking they could expand on that role and make it bigger and maybe she would do it.

This would be such a runaway hit. Great story and unique characters. Possibilities are endless.
The only review of a show that matters is your own.
