Mad Max:Beyond Thunderdome is pure genius. How can anyone better that? Unless it's something like Pasolini's "Salo".

I would love to see a revival of Cats directed bij Taymor!

If the revival ran as long as the original, it might just break even.

"I have moved on from SPIDER MAN. My next project will be a 'reboot' of THE LION KING with real lions and some chorus kids, and a new score by Van Halen. It's totally safe."

Disney's HERCULES. And I'm being serious, I think she would do wonders with it as long as she has the right creative team!

There are any number of people who could make Hercules work- it is crying out for large carnival style puppets, operated Chinese-dragon style by multiple puppeteers.

Right now, you'd probably be better off opting for the Warhorse team.

The last thing Hercules needs, though, is a pretensious approach.

A $65 million [title of show]. Susan kills actual vampires in the air.

Jurassic Park. She can make life like dinosaurs, and have technical glitches with them stepping on people.

"Jurassic Park. She can make life like dinosaurs, and have technical glitches with them stepping on people."

She'd obviously breed real dinosaurs.

She needs to be given real constraints. How about either an off Broadway show or something that goes into the Helen Hayes or the Golden theatres. 1-4 person cast at most. No one can leave the ground. Only one set. Not a musical. Max out her available budget at $1 million.

If it weren't already running, I'd say Love Loss and What I Wore would be a good show for her. No costumes, no set, although she could get the most expensive poster paper ever for the drawings of the dresses.

It's time for an In My Life revival. But this time, the pirates fly.

"Charlie Sheen: On Broadway"

One train wreck begets another. Why not?

She's probably the only person who could ever secure a sufficient budget for a good revival of Follies...

Julie Taymor: The Musical

Music By Madonna

Costumes and Sets by Lady Gaga

She plays every part and it would play at Madison Square Garden

This is officially my favorite board of the day. I just keep giggling.

As for my idea, She should direct a play ... Moose Murders anyone?

Or better yet, Moose Murders: The Musical!

"PINK FLAMINGOS: THE MUSICAL"
