Okay, I honestly think that Hercules could be a great musical comedy on stage. There are no bad songs in the score, and hopefully Alan Menken could outdo himself from the so-so score from new score of The Little Mermaid with new songs. The show was great potential for being a good comedy, think the recent Xanadu. If written well, Hercules could work very well. And also remember, when working with the animated films to the stage, the plot doesn't have to be EXACTLY identical.
And I'm hoping Huncback is coming to America. Alan Menken had a kickass score. I saw Der Clockner on YouTube and it looked good but I want to understand what they're saying.
Aladdin would be good too...if they have the balls to rework it and have the mother in the story like the original draft of the movie and other story stuff, it could be an entertaining night of theatre. "Friend Like Me" and "Prince Ali" are real showstopper numbers.
And I ain't feelin Pocahontas or Mulan (especially Mulan, the score ain't all that). But like I said, if written well and staged innovatively (I mean look what Julie Taymor did with Lion King and look at the schlocky mess that was The Little Mermaid), these shows could suprise you.
If I were a woman, I'd marry Stephen Joshua Sondheim. But then again, he's gay, so....
