Disney's "Hunchback" was already staged in Germany.
just FYI.

All the negative comments toward Disney kill me. The very idea that Disney wouldn't be able to have another enormous hit is totally outlandish. They don't need good reviews to survive.... they're far beyond that as far as selling power!

OF COURSE they have other projects on the horizon! Come on!

it would make sence that Finding Nemo come to Broadway since they already have a production of it at Disney ..

I really want to see Glöckner come to the US. What they did with it was absolutely amazing and it deserves to be on Broadway--with the ending intact.

Except the Finding Nemo show is thirty minutes long.

Frank Wildhorn is writing an Alice In Wonderland Musical and workshopping it... Not disney related though.

If Disney had the guts, it would bring the German version of Hunchback to Broadway, but I think that they are scared. They have pulled a majority of Hunchback entertainment from the parks.

I would LOVE LOVE to see Alice In Wonderland!

Well I think that TARZAN should not have even opened and they should have just gone straight to ALADDIN. But TARZAN's closing, and I guess we can let by-gones be by-gones. But yes, I really want to see ALADDIN on Broadway.

"Hunchback" and if they could make the current Disney "Finding Nemo" into 90 minutes, it could be great !!

"All the negative comments toward Disney kill me. The very idea that Disney wouldn't be able to have another enormous hit is totally outlandish. They don't need good reviews to survive.... they're far beyond that as far as selling power!"

And just WHY is this a good thing?! If we stop caring about critical evaluation, then we no longer have theatre. All art revovles around is the improvment of human expression. If theatre becomes a system in which things become hits just on there name recognition, then there is no need to improve. It stops being art and theatre and becomes product and package. And I want human expression, not marketing equations. Don't you?

I definitley agree with all of those who said Herculese should be next. It is my favorite Disney movie... the music is just so much fun!!

And I also agree that if Disney could find a way of making the Finding Nemo show longer that should be brought to Broadway as well.

I am sure that ALLADIN would make a great Broadway musical !!! The movie is GREAT !!!

I really really really want Aladdin on Broadway. Jonathan Pryce would make an awesome Jafar. And Hercules would rock if the muses were Capathia Jenkins, Roz Ryan, Lillias White, LaChanze, Brenda Braxton!

I love that idea, but it would never happen.

They should bring the Jungle Book back to Broadway. Any ideas for casting anyone?

[another_reprise]

I think Toy Story could be interesting... same with Sleeping Beauty.
I agree that Hunchback would be amazing. I hated it when I saw it in 3rd grade because it terrified me. Now I think it's possibly one of Disney's best films, even if they did completely butcher the ending but whatever... it could definately transfer well to stage if handled properly IMO

I'd like to see the original score of Aladdin that Howard Ashman and Alan Menken wrote turned into a stage show. It's so much better than what ended up there.

It was already transferred to the stage, with a non-butchered ending to boot. It just hasn't made it to Broadway yet.

Hunchback won't make it to Broadway because Disney was mad that James Lapine made the ending too sad and made the show in general too dark to be considered a family show. But then again, Aida was more for adults.

Stuart Oken and Alan Levey did say they might bring it to Broadway if Beauty and the Beast were to close but now we're going to have another Disney show to take its place. Must we wait for each stupid Disney idea to fail before we can see Hunchback on Broadway?

They should go with "Ruthless People" now that would make a great musical comedy.

What COULD Work on Broadway:

(In a few years) A REVISED Tarzan exactly like the European Production which would follow Lion King and open in the Minskoff, so many off the flying effects in the revised production could be replicated.

Mulan: It is a powerful story and could become a beautiful piece of theatre, maybe with a little less comedy.

Hercules: They already have a one act Hercules on the Disney cruise line, and (when spiffed up for broadway) it could run well.

Hunchback: Perhaps a little less dark and possibly a happier ending.

Aladdin: Already in the works

Pocahontas- What wiki said about not having those scenes work out on the stage without being revised is bull****. (excuse my language) With a set similar to the woman in White, with large projection screenswhich run in a circle around the stage. or, they could extend the set ito the audience to add extra space.

I say Disney's next show is going to cut the crap and get to the point. It's called "Hello, Dollars!"
