What Plays would work better as musicals and vice versa?

This question was spawned by the recent presentation I saw of Vanities at NAMT.

Vanities was made into a musical.

I know, that's what I was implying.

The NAMT festival presented the musical version of Vanities.

The Pillowman

Can you just imagine the fantastic dance routine during "Little Jesus"?

Brilliant.

Why, Take Me Out, of course!

I'd pay to see that (Take Me Out)
Again, can you just imagine the dance routines?
Would probably be Tony-nominated for Best Costumes.

EugLoven, I'm ashamed to admit that's the first play I thought of when I opened this thread. I can just see the chorus of dancing Pillowmen...
