A broadway musical about street performers performing on a set that looks exactly like the street, with costumes and props made out of things found on the street, written by a guy who used to live on the street... and let's charge them full ticket prices!

A musical about a con man who swindles an entire town out of their money while pretending to teach music. Oh, and it's a comedy.

"I can't believe no one has said: People SINGING about the fact that they've got AIDs."

This is what is silly about most of this thread; people keep saying something like "a musical about..." and writing ridiculous things like the statement above. What would be more acurate is saying "Modernizing La Boheme and setting it to rock music in East Village New York in the 90s." Now THAT sounds fascinating.

Isn't the thread titled: "This Doesn't Sound Good," implying that it is supposed to sound horrible versus fascinating?

edit; Maybe not so much horrible compared to unbelievable.

how about a musical where the lead, a voudou woman, kills her brother for her lover, then kills her children to spite her lover.

a musical about people dancing endlessly for money, and a guy coming back from the dead to claim his draw prize.

a show about aging showgirls.

a musical where an aging irish bloke realizes he's gay. and has his amateur theater group closed.

let's do a musical about the Rothschilds. but not the interesting well-known Rothchilds. let's go for their less interesting ancestors, and their male-fiddler tales

let's do Hamlet, only with lions. and an elton john score.

Bring Disney's "Der Glockner Von Notre Dame" To Broadway!

a musical about naive, hormonal, angsty german kids in the 19 century having sex to rock music by a past tense indie musician. using a classical book and a cast under 23.

actually, i know many people who would be interested based upon that.

a danced musical with no story using billy joel music!

or

a musical about a girl whose mother slept around and who now wants 1 of 3 men who may be her father to be in her wedding all tied together using abba music!

hear my song; it was made for the time when you don't know where to go, listen to the song that i sing, you'll be fine..

Great ones so far.

How about a musical about a flying boy?

Miguel Cervantes reads and acts out his novel "Don Quixote" in his prison cell.

A feuding actor and actress who used to be married are teamed in a touring production of "The Taming of the Shrew."

A composer and a lyricist are paired by their agents.

Let's keep it going.

Let's have a circus, use giant balloons, light-up moons, michael arden, flashlights, no plot, and a guy dressed as a dog. And for kicks, why don't we set it to Bob Dylan music? Even though he only mentions a circus maybe three times in his entire career of music? Oh, and better yet, let's have Twyla Tharp choreograph it!

Those are good.

How about:

Three stories in one musical including Adam and Eve and a 1960s rewrite of the Cinderella story.

A con man comes to a small town claiming he can make rain.

Another con man comes to a small town claiming he's a music teacher anc can put together a band. He falls in love with a librarian.
