I curious if it doesn’t become a musical who would you like to see as Alex and Henry. And who would you want to compose and direct?


initally the ones I had in mine were far too old (Richard fleeshman, Aaron tveit&hellipRed White and Royal Blue musical thoughts

in terms of music I think Pink could do a fun score and like a jerry Mitchell or Matthew Lopez.


I think it reads as a musical over a play.

Oooh I’ve totally been thinking about this too. I fully like broke down the show structure and like where songs would be lmao.


I haven’t thought much about casting however..I feel like I’d want actual young people. I could see Derek Klena as Henry but I think he’s a little older than I’d like for the role and I’d want queer people in the roles. Could also see James Gish. I’m struggling to think of someone ethnically appropriate for Alex unfortunately…

I'm not sure about casting, but in terms of composers I could see someone like Marc Shaiman fitting well, bringing the same kind of high-energy pastiche he did for Some Like it Hot.

Maybe the movie will give a different view of the story but the book didn’t exactly leap out as something that could be adapted as a musical.

I think Laurence O’Keefe would probably be more the direction I’d see the show going in musically. As much as I love Shaiman and Whitman I feel like their music doesn’t often have the contemporary edge I feel this show would.

As a theatre composer. I will say last week I reached out to management to discuss the possibility of a musical. I was told that the rights were unavailable- either a musical is already in development or they are tied up with the film right holders.


I would be curious to see what Kelly Clarkson or Taylor swift could do with it. I just don’t know if they’d attach themself to a project like that. It would definitely need to be fun modern pop music.


to me the book definitely read as a musical.
