Okay I'm actually totally kidding. I think it would be a horrible idea in reality but it might fun to think of ideas for. So who should play who? Who should write the music and lyric? Who should direct etc?

I've actually been thinking about this same topic lately... and I'm afraid it really WILL happen.

Unlike Harry Potter, which would be impossible to put on stage, somebody somewhere will figure out how to transform the plotless wonder of Twilight and set it to music for profit.

I'm actually really taken with Carter Burwell's score for the film. I want to look up the other work he's done, and would love for him to write a score for a musical.

As for a Twilight musical... I actually don't think it's THAT bad of an idea. It could work, in the right hands.

About six people on BroadwaySecrets have suggested this with Jonathan Groff as Edward and Lea Michele as Bella.

God, I hate Twilight.

I actually have a morbid curiosity on how Twilight a new emo rock musical would turn out...lol.

Um, but the casting would CLEARLY be Cheyenne Jackson as Edward and Sutton Foster as Bella...they are hot hot hot! LOL.

no joke...but a really good friend of mine got an email from her broadway summer program teachers or whatever..and told her that there is a call for a reading of Twilight: The Musical

As much as I hate this idea (and as much as I hate Twilight with all my soul)...Aaron Tveit is perfect for the vampire guy .

I agree Cheyenne should be used SOMEWHERE if they are creating a musical about beauty.. haha. Maybe he should play the young, hot father/doctor Dr. Carlisle Cullen? And.. hmm, for Bella.. I wouldn't even know. But, I would make Sutton Foster the mother. Can you imagine? Cheyenne and Sutton being someone's parents? Haha!

i love twilight, the book and the movie. it's amazing.
but do we really need a broadway show for it?
I think people are so into the books, and that just would ruin it for me if they made a broadway musical out of it.

I think a musical of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is probably the only Vampire-Musical I'd like to see on Broadway.

However, I do agree that a kind of rock/dark/vampire-musical is an interesting idea...just not Twilight.

What, "Once More, With Feeling"?

Oh my god, my sister and I have been writing a fake Twilight parody musical for weeks now (have to pass the time on our long bus rides). I hate Twilight and she loves it, but she loves to make fun of it as well.

There are terrible songs like:

"We're the Volturi
There's reason to worry
We've powder white wax skin
Quite like Michael Jackson."

Schmerg, you and I should write a musical together. You always write great parody songs.

If anyone from the Spring Awakening cast should move over as Bella, I wouldn't go with Lea Michele, I'd go with Lauren Pritchard- she's got the corner market on the emo attitude of that bunch.

Please please please please PLEASE don't tell me that twilight is now infiltrating the BWW boards too!

We can't seem to escape it anymore...

Twilight: the musical = disaster.
Broadway does not need to stoop that low.

We cast Patti LuPone as all three of the bad vampires.

Cheyenne Jackson played Emmett and Sean Palmer played Jasper. Kristin Chenoweth made up the entire chorus. Emma Watson was our Bella (because of her wonderful inability to act with anything other than her eyebrows), and our Edward was a hideous tone-deaf boy with a horrible lisp and the biggest Caucasian afro you've ever seen who managed to get the lead in the last show my sister did.

Also, we replaced all of the Native American werewolves with African American mermen. (Norm Lewis as Jacob's dad, Elijah Kelly as Jacob... who we cast because he's so short and Jacob's supposed to be about six foot seven). And we cast Hugh Panaro as the vampire doctor dad because he and Norm Lewis are friends and the vampire dad and the werewolf dad are supposed to hate each other.

I hope this happens. There's not nearly enough entertainment for the teens on Broadway. Won't someone think of the children??

No, no...not 'Once More With Feeling', but a new musical based on Buffy. A new story/score etc.

The more I think about it, the more I don't think it would really work...but I'd love to see it!

[oohshizz146]

Posted: 11/29/08 at 1:06pm

Oy. I like Twilight, but fans like this make me ashamed to admit it. As much as I like Twilight...this would SUCK.

And nice one, Borstalboy haha

"Twilight a new emo rock musical"

Excuse me, I have to soak my computer in hand sanitizer.

Why do I get the feeling that every thread I post in with a title that ends in "The Musical" will end up getting deleted?
