Does anyone think this movie should be made into a musical? I'm serious here. The dances would be awsome and it would bring more Las Vegas style to Broadway which I think it could use. Should Elizabeth Berkley star?

I think it should be done in a fringe theater. I doubt it would make a good legit musical and yet, I loved Debbie Does Dallas... so who knows.

Didn't they do a sock puppet version for the Fringe Festival? I heard it was good.

If Elizabeth Berkley does the lap dance live, I'm there. With a fistful of dollar bills.

I've suggested 'Showgirls' for 30-Second Bunny Theatre.

"Remember that time we snuck out to go see E.T. and we were riding home on our bikes and were scared then too!"

They were caffine pills for god's sake!! Peter Engel, the creator, came to NYU to talk to us and said how much he thought that scene was over acted. You'd think she was on heroine the way she was acting.

you need to see the Saved By The Bell True Hollywood Story. they spend a mini-segment talking about "Jessie's Song" and the reactions to that ridiculous attempt at relevance. it's just the perfect example of exploring territory that was best left alone.

Both Showgirls and the Saved By The Bell episode go on my list of "So bad it's good." I would be first in line to see Showgirls: The Musical. As long as the "fan hands" choreography is in the show.
