I realize that even I am growing a little tired of the constant movie to musical turn out as a quick cash grab. But the more I think about it I think this could really work. My thoughts - call me by your name as a minimalist piece. Music by oh wonder. ( was just listening to them and think they would be a perfect fit ) maybe Cheyenne Jackson and the rest new comers. Even start off broadway in an intimate setting. What do you think. About a call me by your name adaptation
This would be a great musical, but it would need to be carefully and delicately handled by a really exceptional creative team. It would be a great piece for Sondheim and Lapine, but I don't see them writing any more musicals together.
How about we just get Stevens to write an original musical?

I'd take a Love, Simon musical but Call Me By Your Name would need to be a straight play or a full blown opera. And there'd need to be a distinct point of view to justify doing it after the film.
