In and Out - Isn't that in development??


I think DROP DEAD GORGEOUS
the pageant film with Brittany Murphy/Kirstie alley/Kirstin Dunst/Denise Richards/etc
should be a musical

I can watch that film on repeat

I am too lazy to cast it now-
but pretty much every pageant girl

LauraBell/Kerry/all the fun girls with a sense of humor

I can hear all the songs already

A-MER...I CAN!!!!

where's Larry O'keefe?

"Down with Love", a movie that a lot of critics say it should have been a musical. It would have been much more successful if it were. It just has all the elements that would go perfect as a musical stage production.

DOWN WITH LOVE

CAST:
Becky Gulsvig ..... Barbara Novak
Duncan James ..... Catcher Block
Jenna Leigh Green ..... Vikki Hiller
Christian Borle ..... Peter MacMannus

What do you think?

some of those actors I think are too old to play the characters, particularly Marin Mazzie as Lisa, but overall I like it! I think a musical of the room would be hilarious.

SEX AND THE CITY:
Carrie Bradshaw: Kerry Butler
Miranda Hobbes: Jill Paice

I dunno if it would be the movie, or the TV show, or whatever, heck it probably wouldn't work either way, but just to see those girls together as those characters would be fiiiine!

Anastasia needs to be a stage production.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane
Jane: Bernadette Peters

The problem with that casting is that I would be spending the entire show concerned for the safety of Baby Jane. Even in a wheel chair, Patti would still be more intimidating.

Baby Jane needs something even campier than Peters and Lupone. Lupone as Jane and Glenn Close as Blanche would be more like it. "You mean all this time we could have been friends" would take on a whole new dimension.

Taboo123, Drop Dead Gorgeous would be great!!! That's a movie that would do well with an adaptation not like most of these crappy ones that have been happening or the ones that don't seem like they should ever become musicals.

JBroadway, I've been saying it should be adapted for the stage since the moment I saw it. I would revise your choices though

Jonathan Groff as Jude
Caisey Levy as Lucy
Aaron Tveit as Max?
Wallace Smith as Jo-jo
Lea Michelle as Sadie
T.V Carpio as Prudence again
No one (this should be cut) as Mr. Kite
Ditto as Dr. Robert

Christopher - Andrew Keenan-Bolger
Natalie - Annie Baltic
