It was already done. It was called Urban Cowboy

Yeah, that was a complete rumor that led nowhere.

And exactly how would you make a main character that can hardly talk sing?

Give him a handheld mic, give the lighting a concert-esque feel, and claim its an "inner monologue".

I wouldn't have him sing until the very end--and give him a powerful ballad about regret.

I wasn't crazy about the movie, and it didn't seem to have a lot of moments that lend themselves to music.

Agreed, madbrian.

I wouldn't want to see this happen unless maybe Sondheim or Guettel sign on for the score.

Great movie, but it would be a terrible musical.
