Earlier this week, BroadwayWorld reported that movie director Kevin Smith wants to bring his 1994 flim 'Clerks' to the Broadway stage in 2014. If this plan comes to fruition it will join the ranks of Disney's THE LION KING- another successful 1994 film, which opened in back in 1997 and is still running at the Minskoff Theatre. This got us thinking... what other 1994 film would You like to see on stage?
Your polls are getting increasingly worse.
But the 1994 film ONLY YOU with Marisa Tomei & Robert Downey Jr would make a good musical b.

If I HAD to pick one, it would probably be Shawshank considering its already been done on the West End, but we've already had Interview...Vampire with Lestat and the rest of the choices are rather silly.
As musical adaptations? None of them. As a straight play? Shawshank Redemption.
Movies from 1994 Not Mentioned Here that COULD work:
The Mask
Four Weddings & a Funeral
Backbeat
Bullets Over Broadway
IQ
Immortal Beloved
It Could Happen to You
Milk Money
Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle
Nobody's Fool
The Secret of Roan Inish
Radioland Murders

Was Power Tool 6 1994?
Bullets Over Broadway is coming.
Also, I think Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle would be incredible, although Jennifer Jason Leigh's performance was what made the film so incredible. She channeled Dorothy Parker.

I think it could be great too but I think the audience might be limited. How much of a "name" is Dorothy Parker? If anything I think it would be best as a Roundabout Limited Run with the possibility of an open-ended run.
How about THE RIVER WILD?
How about North?
Exit to Eden?
Cabin Boy?
Little Buddha?
Thumbelina?
The Pagemaster?
No Dessert Dad, til you Mow the Lawn?
Blankman?
D2, The Mighty Ducks?

I have no preference, mainly because I don't really remember any 1994 films, since I was like 3
I wanna see ABOVE THE RIM musicalized.
Maybe with a score by Li'l Wayne and Drake.

I don't remember any films from the year I was born, either. I hope someday to live in a world where movies from the past will be made available to future generations!

But I did vote for Forest Gump. I think if done correctly this could be a really endearing musical. It'd probably have a mix of blues and alot of bluegrass music, something like the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou.
