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!

Agreed.

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

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.

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.

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..."

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.
