Movie to Musical: The Hours ?

Would the movie "The Hours" make
an interesting musical if they
could get Steven Sondheim to do it?

i LOVED Meryl and Julianne in it. Nicole
should not have gotten the Academy Award
for just wearing a terrible nose.

I am not myself, but i become a character in itself, to only hope that my transformation is not of me, but of whom i characterize myself to be..

Good idea. Id be great with singing only. Kinda like Caroline but with haunting music (somewhat like Phantom's score). It would make a great operetic show!

Actually, I could really see that. Possibly because Glass's score was such a strong presence in the movie, so I always remember it musically.

It wouldn't really be a Stephen Sondheim-type of show, though. I won't want to be reductive about the powers of the Master, but Sondheim wouldn't be the first person I'd ask to do The Hours.

i think it would make a good show. and sondheim would be a perfect pick. he is good with depressing shows. and nicole won the oscar cause she did wonderful acting in the movie not just for the nose

They'd need three first-rate divas willing to share the stage. Who could do it?

Meryl part -- Patti Lupone?
Julianne Moore part -- Donna Murphy?
Nicole part -- who can do intellectual and British? How about Bernadette, she almost has the nose already (lol).
