Disney Pays for Domain Name: piratesonbroadway.com

I know there have been lots of posts on here about what Disney's next show should be. I think this answers it. My husband was reading one of his magazines and there was a news article about Disney registering the domain name piratesonbroadway.com.

It still could mean nothing and they are holding it just in case. But it would make sense considering the popularity of the series.

Has anyone else heard anything or have any thoughts about it?

I was literally JUST thinking about how they would do Pirates on Broadway yesterday...

Doesn't it cost like ten dollars a year to register a domain name?

Just to keep things into perspective and context, because admittedly it's not all that clear, that post was from May of 2010.

It came about just a couple of days after Disney Theatrical admitted they were working on a staged adaptation of Dumbo and subsequently Newsies.

It was also rumored that they had their hands in about 30 or so projects at the time. These are presumably some of them.

Now of course it doesn't mean that they'll all come to fruition, nor is it even clear what Pirates means (unless Disney has said something since), all we know is what's been put forth which is, as the article mentions, the active development of Father of the Bride and Flamingo Kid and that Calendar Girls, Citizen Ruth and Sister Act had already been developed (although in the case of the latter, the sole domain name is for a touring production).

Of course we also know that Aladdin and Newsies panned out since they'll both be debuting this year.

And since Disney sold of Miramax and most of its library and killed Yellow Submarine, those aren't likely to ever happen now.

A theatre designed to look like a pirate ship would be amazing.

I agree with Jordan. Julie should totally do it...Except I could do without a silly pirate mask.

If I were Disney, I would call up Julie right now.

She would be fantastic. A disney reunion with Taymor!! Ahhh I will dream of this.
