What would u think would be the weirdest musical idea? Like adapted from tv or a movie or anything.

Pacific Overtures is certainly up there.
Especially since it is so bizarre yet works and comes together so beautifully.

Oh, and lest we forget the upcoming (yet hopefully not to Broadway) The Apprentice: The Musical.

Let's not judge THE APPRENTICE already...atleast it will be original music - I'd much rather see that on Broadway than GOOD VIBRATIONS, etc. JERRY SPRINGER sounded like an absurd idea, but it turned out brilliant. So who knows.

I say, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST - THE MUSICAL.

Well, a number of years ago I thought that I had heard the Weirdest Musical Idea. It was a musical that was to be about a Barber who killed people and his Landlady, a pie shop owner, who then turned those dead people into meat pies. Who knew?

I don't think that's what this thread is about...it was already a well known story and excellent play. Maybe you would have been around in the 80's to hear the weird buzz about it, though.

Well...the TV Version of Dawson's Creek the musical can definitely make the list...same with Superman...I always thought that was really neat.

O.C. the Musical (would see it whether it was good or not)
Family Guy the Musical
I Love Lucy the Musical
Three's Company the Musical

DALLAS the Musical (That would be something to see.)

ShuQ, you DO know that IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE, IT'S SUPERMAN was a Hal Prince Broadway musical in 1966, don't you?

Spiderman was/is a musical too--i dont think it was on broadway though

Haha! These are funny. I'd say BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL is already one of the weirdest ones around (it's awesome, though). How about "South Park: The Musical"? That would be pretty strange...

People thought THE PAJAMA GAME, a musical about a strike in a pyjama factory, was a weird idea.
