Next Disney Show — Page 3

Pollyana

The Parent Trap - but finding triple threat 13-16 year old twins might be hard.

The Aladdin stage show in Disney's California Adventure is good... and definetly shows that the musical translates to the stage. However, several changes would need to be made for it to be a broadway show.


On the other hand, the Snow White show in Disneyland a year or so ago - was a bust. It was more like a kid-act you find in any theme park, versus a play - and I think was like 30 minutes long (at the most)

---

I like the idea of the parent trap the musical.

---

I think that "Hunchback" should be the next Disney show. It has great music, and is tells a really great story.

However, "The Little Mermaid" will be the next Broadway musical. Which should be interesting.

"Hercules" is not a bad idea. Susan Egan is to old to play Megera. My vote would be for O'Hara or perhaps Brown. The Muses would be killer. With the right five girls, they could be great.

---

I think that Hercules would be an interesting musical, but I think Aladdin would be fun too.

By the way, I'm new here, I post on IMDb a lot, my name is Megan. I decided to give this broadwayworld thing a try, my friend Kevin loves it.

Why *hasn't* Hunchback been brought to Broadway yet? I mean, it made its world premiere in Berlin and then there was also a production done in Paris. Why not NYC yet?

Of course I'm going to say, if it DOES come to Broadway, Drew Sarich needs to reprise his role as Quasi without a doubt.

I think in Herculies Idina should play that girl who herculies falls for.

---

agh that was stupid...i did know that but anything else besides that.

---

Little Mermaid with Ashley Brown. Or her as Megara in Hercules. But no mulan! that would be hard, but we are talking about disney. Hunchback should open.

---

I saw Hunchback in Berlin and while I think it was a great idea, and the new music was beautiful, the staging was rather dull. After the first 15 minutes or so, you've seen basically everything the show has to offer: hydraulic blocks and projections. The cathedral interior was gorgeous and the gargoyle costumes were stunning (one of the gargoyles was changed to a female character), but that was about it. I would love to see the show on Broadway, but completely restaged. Given the fact that they reverted back to the original ending, I think it really has potential to be a hit musical.

---

Yeah in the movie, Laverne is the girl one and she is voiced by Mary Wickes...sadly it was her last movie before she died.

Mr. Boogedy
The Ghost and Mr. Chicken
Not Quite Human

Footlooser: Have you heard Michael Crawford and Sherie Renee Scott's rendition of "If I Never Knew You"? Even though I'm not a big Michael Crawford fan, it's amazing.

Anyway... I have nothing against Disney shows, unless they take away the Tony from a more deserving show (coughLionKingandRagtimecough)

Hercules would be good because it has EXCELLENT music, even though I hate how they bastardized Greek mythology with it, heh. I bet "Go the Distance" would be amazing when sung by a Broadway actor: Lea Salonga's rendition gives me chills! But I think Hunchback would be great too. That score is one of the best in Disney IMO. And, actually, I think Pocahontas would work too. I have the Stephen Schwartz Album which has Broadway singers singing Pocahontas songs (Sara Ramirez sings "Colors of the Wind" and Christiane Noll singing "Just Around the Riverbend" and they sound really good. Actually, the album also has Broadway singers doing songs from Hunchback as well )

As for Aladdin, yes all the way! There's already a stage version somewhere IIRC.

I don't think Mulan would work though just because of the fight scenes. I mean, how would they do the avalanche part? Heh.
