So to date (April 2016) the following Disney films (both animated & live action) have been adapted into stage musicals:
Beauty and the Beast (1994), The Lion King (1997), Tarzan (2006), Mary Poppins (2006), The Little Mermaid (200
, Newsies (2012) and Aladdin (2014)
And while there are MANY others in development (Frozen is set for Spring 2018 at the St. James with Betsy Wolfe as Elsa), here is the question of this thread:
If you could have any other Disney film (animated or live action) adapted into a Broadway musical, which one would you choose? And who would you dreamcast as the leads?
Have fun!

Kyle Richards will probably want to be in it again. Or talk about it constantly.

In seriousness though, they are developing Father of the Bride (per Schumacher himself).

You joke but I would pay to see her play Mombi.

YAS! Think about the amazing women they could cast as The Muses. Hercules is one of my favorites musicals so I would love to see this happen!

I'm gonna guess Moana will probably head to Broadway at some point.

I'd still like to see them do something with Pocahontas. Even if it's just for regionals and licensing. Something that tells her story more accurately maybe aimed at adult and teen audience that uses a mostly new score with "Colors of the Wind" and "Just Around the Riverbend" incorporated somehow.

I know you're being funny, but I could actually see Pryce and Lucas in the lead roles you suggested. However, who would Ro play in THE BLACK HOLE?

Jonathan Pryce would be reviving his film role. I was joking, but that could actually be great.
I hadn't put any actual thought into it, but maybe Ro could genderbend into Ernest Borgnine's part.
