It was workshopped a while back...

How far did that go? How long ago was it?

disney's stage version is VERY different from that horrid film they did.. it uses the same score, yes, but the stage version is MUCh darker, deeper, and a LOT more faithful to the novel.

They should do ALice!

no, Alice in Wonderland! i never saw that show. what was it about?

i think that an english adaptation would be good for broadway. it would expand disney's empire

Does anyone remember the musical parody in WHEN PIGS FLY: "I've Got A Hunch I'm In Love!"

"This is NOT some cheesy cartoon!"

As much as I love Little Mermaid, how would they go about staging that?

I saw Disney's Hunchback in Berlin in '99. JohnPopa - Schwartz wrote a couple of additional songs for the stage adaptation, so at least one member of the original creative team was a part of it.

The show is darker and more faithful to the text of the novel (especially the ending). When I saw the film, I instantly thought it would serve well as a stage production. Unfortunately, the staging was very dull. They tried an innovative new method of a grid of blocks that made up the stage floor that would rise up and down at different levels. Then they would shine projections on the blocks to create the scene. After about 10 minutes, it became incredibly dull. The costumes were wonderful, but the choreography was uninspired and lifeless. The direction also had some very basic blocking and movement mistakes. 90% of Out There was staged with the actor simply standing still on his knees. Static and painful to watch.

I think the show has great potential, but needs to be reworked to impress American audiences.

Does anyone know the fun bit of trivia about the German Esmerelda?

I hope this involves her doing porn. That's always the best trivia!

Maybe she's run off to do porn.
