What disney movie would you most like to see as a broadway musical?

I'm looking forward to the Little Mermaid.
I'd like to see Aladdin.

Well...TARZAN is next on the list for coming to Broadway.

But, honestly...people might not agree with this. I think POCAHONTAS would make an amazing musical. Just think of the dances and effects.

And what a Tony worthy performance the title role would be.

I agree, I would love to see Pocahontas

POCOHANTAS. ( I forsee some awesome special effects!)

Mary Poppins (I know that there is a production), but I say leave "Mr. Producer" out of it. I think the movie version is pure fun and lighthearted magic. I about crapped myself when I heard TEMPER TEMPER from the OLC recording....I couldn't believe they made it have a dark side. That's ridiculous.

Wow, you know what...i was never a Pocahontas fan. But in a musical, wow that would be good.You caught my attention with the dances they could do.

Thats crazy, you all must have posted while i was still typing, odd how we could sense really great special effects.

There are a limited number of animated Disney musicals:

LITTLE MERMAID
BEAUTY & THE BEAST
ALADDIN
MULAN
HERCULES
POCAHONTAS
HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
THE LION KING

The rest are all 'movies with music.'

I think all would work except for HERCULES and MULAN. MULAN is a great film, but I don't think it would transit to the stage well.

The Little Mermaid would be awesome, think about all the wire effects for the underwater scenes. I am a huge little mermaid fan. Think about how cool it would look when Eric runs the ship into Ursula...

Not only effects for Pocahantas, but the music is some of the best Disney yet, and put back "If I Never Knew You" with Lea Solonga ast Pocahantas. It would be sweet.

Don't forget 101 Dalmations. Wouldn't that be hysterical? Having 101 actors in Dalmation costumes. I'll tell you what, though, Cruella DeVil would be a FANTASTIC role.

I'd love to see Glenn Close revive her Cruella. Plus she can sing!

In all honesty, who do you think would make a good Pocahontas?

SARA RAMIREZ, that's who!

101 Dalmatians wasn't an animated musical. It was a movie with music. Only two or three songs, as the case with a lot of Disney movies: Pinocchio, Snow White, Peter Pan, Alice & Wonderland, etc.

However, this doesn't mean a Disney 'movie with music' couldn't be adapted. The danger is keeping the story and writing new music to fit it.

I think I'D make a good Pocahontas. :cough:
Jaykay, guyz.

But even though it isn't a Disney movie, I'd like to see Anastasia.

Idina Menzel...haha no but seriously eden espinosa sorta has an indian look to her..haha

I think Eden played Pocahontas while she was working with Disney.

[Footlooser]

Posted: 4/17/05 at 3:28pm

I knoiw Eden played Ariel but I don't know about Pocahantas.

Sara Ramirez just screams Pocahontas! And, this would be a role to shoot her to stardom.

[NYC_or_Bust]

For voice, I would kill to see Sutton Foster as Pocohantas
For appearance...hmm that's tough, she'd need to be pretty dark complected...Of course if you can make a white girl green every night, i'd say anything's possible...hmmm haha, I dunno, I guess considering how she runs around in skimpy costumes, you'd want someone who looks good, maybe a little toned....Jennifer Garner.

Ah geeze, i dunno, I just hope disney would never thrust someone like Romano into the role just cause she's a disney channel star....She was okay for belle, but I think Pocohantas is Disney's best Animated film (the score leaves me feeling like i'm in heaven and the story is awesome (a little adapted already, but still nice)....

Please look above. Sara has the look AND the voice.

If you goto her site, there's a clip of her "Colors of the Wind"

It sounds good, but she can add some emotion on some parts. i'm sure if she were more comfortable with the role, she'd be amazing, hands down.

I really don't like Pocahontas that much. I think that Bedknobs and Broomsticks would make a fun musical, and I could think of lots of ladies who could be awesome as Ms. Price

Eden did play Pocahontas at Disneyland. There's a clip on a website I believe I have. She's perfect for the role.

Look at that picture above of Sara and then listen to her singing "Colors of the Wind" and I dare you to tell me she's not POCAHONTAS.

The clip is below.
