Posted: 1/10/14 at 10:52pmI have said for years that a David Yazbek "Mrs. Doubtfire" with Norbert Leo Butz in the lead role(s) would be a triple Tony.

Posted: 1/11/14 at 12:21amhenrikegerman, in regards to your "Lady Eve" suggestion would you want them to use the songs from "Birds & The Bees" or would you want a completely new score?

The 1999 movie, Blast from the Past.

Posted: 1/11/14 at 12:33amI think Four Weddings and a Funeral would make a great musical, although I'm not sure who I'd want to write it. On a related note, I watched The Hours again last night and thought it could make a great play if given a Brechtian treatment, perhaps with one actress playing all three of the main women.

Ugh, none. Can we please stop with this ridiculous notion that every film MUST be a commercial stage venture?
...However I would love if someone would come and fix up SHOCK TREATMENT for the stage. But not holding my breath on that one.

Posted: 1/11/14 at 1:36pmDown with Love. One of my teacher friends turned me onto the film last year and said "This is our ticket out of public education." Not that we'd ever get the rights for a stage adaptation. The story already has clear beats where songs would fit. Plus, the story isn't that far removed from the kind of silly romances that made for good musical comedies for a long time onstage.

Down with Love should be done by Shaiman and Wittman as they were involved with the film plus write the finale song Here's to Love.

Eris I don't know - is the score any good?
From the wikipedia article on the movie, it sounds like there were only town songs in The Birds and The Bees?

Yes! Moonstruck with Laura Benanti and Andy Karl would be brilliant.
I think a Tootsie musical is in the works right now actually.

I remember your brilliant casting suggestion for Moonstruck in another thread, GeorgeandDot! Totally down for that!
And yes, Tootsie indeed! Santino Fontana seems to be attached to the project, and I think he'd be sensational in the role.

If a La La Land musical ever happens Laura Dreyfuss and Joshua Henry would be my dream Mia and Seb.

I don't think any film "should be" a stage musical (I've never once thought this), but I do think some films should have been a (film) musical. The live-action Cinderella, for one. And The Warriors.

Someone on another thread mentioned a Great Gatsby musical written by Dave Malloy, who actually started as a jazz pianist. I still think that's the most brilliant idea ever. (Even though someone asked him about it on twitter and he apparently...already sorta did? https://twitter.com/dave_malloy/status/880823083036286976)
Otherwise, I think Black Swan could obviously translate very well into a stage show, even though I'm not a particular fan of the movie myself. Maybe also The Grand Budapest Hotel (though it'd need some rebranding as not to be confused with Grand Hotel). Shakespeare in Love could also be cool, but it might have to fight off a lot of Something Rotten! vibes.

The Sting is having its world premiere at Paper Mill next spring (written by Mark Hollmann/Greg Kotis) and Romy and Michelle just closed at the 5th Avenue Theatre.
