Don't know how I feel about some Disney musicals, but 'Hocus Pocus' would be a blast. How much fun would it be to play one of the Sanderson sisters!

I would LOVE IT! It could happen, I mean there's musicals and shows that take place at certain points in the year that aren't always performed at that point.

My thing....

WHAT would people sing about?

I don't know about the other song, but "I Put A Spell On You" might disappear from the stage production. Because it is an old pop song, not written for the movie. So if Disney wouldn't get the rights to use the song again...

But the story is a fun one, so it might transfer well to the stage!

I think Wicked already has the whole witch thing on lock. We don't really need two musicals about singing witches - but who knows. And the flying wouldn't be that hard. they did the Witches of Eastwick in London and had the witches flying all over the audience - so I hear, but that musical didn't do to well. Maybe people aren't into the whole Witch idea?

Dancing Skeletons in "In My Life" - $26.25
A Gay and a Lesbian in bed in a strict cultural setting - $25.00
A flying vacuum - $100.

Some things in life deserve to be made into Disney Musicals at high prices. For everything else, there's student rush.

I think it could work... It's such a fun movie and Bette would be wonderful. However, I'm sure that's a shot in the dark having Bette back on Broadway... But one can wish..

Does anyone remember the hassle's they had over the way the movie went, the orignal script called for a darker movie, which is what the 3 stars signed on for.
But "Disney" wanted a more family freindly movie, hence the kids became more of the focus of the film...Bette years later in a interview said, she always wished the film was shoot as written, as it was darker, funnier and with 2 more songs..

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

I LOVED this movie as a kid!
I think it would be a great musical, but I don't know how they'd handle the whole "I'm a cat" thing

Okay, I've had a dream cast for the show for years:

Winnifred: Carolee Carmello
Mary: Emily Skinner
Sarah: Jennifer Laura Thompson


That cast would blow the ROOF off.

See, this was started almost. two. years. ago. I think the topic could use revisiting. The world's changed a lot since then. New opinions are out there.
