Yay the article works!

And I actually laughed out loud of that one. He SURE did get some great reviews with Frankie. That's why it's still in the Hilton right now.

But hey, maybe he can *actually* pull a Producers with this one!

I'd rather see a Robin Hood: Men In Tights musical.

Agreed.

As much as I love "The Producers", I have a bad feeling about another Brook's show.

You idiots! These are not them! You've captured their understudies!

I like seeing men in tights under any circumstance.

I'd rather see a Robin Hood: Men In Tights musical.

The problem with that, and the reason I think it wouldn't happen, is that Men in Tights is already a musical. There isn't much new material that Brooks would need to add, so it would basically result in the movie on stage, which (almost) never works.

Brooks seems to be adapting his movies that have a musical moment here and there, but are not musicals, so that he can turn it into something new and different for a different medium.

As much as I love Men In Tights and History of the World, I've said for years that the next musical he should do is Blazing Saddles.

On another note: His last name Brooks. No apostrophe. Thank you.

I hope this pulls through...I think a full blown version of "I'm Tired" will be incredible on stage

IMO no one will ever top Madeline Kahn and the whole ending would be problematic...as long as they don't try to bring History of the World or Spaceballs to the stage...perish the thought.

History of the World could actually sorta work...

Brooks already ruined Spaceballs with its animated series.

although I don't see it working can you imagine that musical umber that would go along to them around the campfire with the beans!!? and i can also see an entire song of "The Sheriff is a..."

Oh Jesus, not another song on Broadway that involves farting! I actually thought I Think I Got You Beat was a good song until they started a-fartin' and a-burpin'!

Not interested. I didn't like the stage productions of The Producers or Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles is one of my least favorite Brooks films. This is definitely not a show for me.

Space Balls - the breakfast cereal

Space Balls - the lunch box

Space Balls - the flame thrower (kids love this one)

Space Balls - The Musical?
