THE NEXT MOVIE MUSICAL WILL BE...

Okay, so this is great! Musicals/Movies/Broadway are comin back! First Chicago, now Phantom, next to be The Producers, Hairspray and Rent! What do you think will be next in the trend? Or should be? I would have to say maybe Urinetown or Thoroughly Modern Millie (musical version)...Id love to see Les Miz too, but they just made that into a movie not so long ago, they should wait I think a little

Don't forget La Cage! They're planning a movie of that, too.

They are also planning a Hairspray musical movie and a remake of Damn Yankees.

As much as I love both Thoroughly Modern Millie and Urinetown, I don't see that happening. I think Les Miserables would be a great movie in the right hands, and I'm sure, cosidering its arguably the world's most popular musical, it would do quite well without worries. I think they should make a move on that sooner or later.

Maybe ur right, sooner might be better. As the years pass, it being off broadway might lose its popularity...NOT MUCH im sure, but maybe a little

Uch. I hate Guys and Dolls.

oooo The wild party eh? I think that would be hot
Lets see what else, what about mamma mis, its got a cute movie story line

I love Guys and Dolls too! Idk though, I thought the original movie was great!

I guess you're right. Does it have anything in common with the producers? (I've never seen the show, I've only heard a few songs which are considered great which I really don't like)

I'm not. I just don't like the music.

I got the horse right here, his name is Paul Revere.....
