If they ever did A Star Is Born I think Don Black could do the score or maybe a gentleman named Paul Carrick. Forgive the spelling.

I thought Disney's Tarzan was going to become their next musical. (because of the business and not because I thought it should).
I really prefer original works, but I'd like to see "Glory" on the stage.
Tarzan the Musical will be ridiculous!!!
Hunchback of Notre Dame the Disney version would be amazing!!!
broadway86 michael arden is actually writing a musical version of talented mr ripley and from what i have heard is pretty creepy. Definitely looking forward to that.
moonstruck (there was talk of doing it but I haven't heard anything recently)
I think we should get the creative team of Dracula to do GIGLI the Musical.
Wasn't there a reading of some sort of an 'Outsiders' musical?
(Although I'm sure it was based on the BOOK, as opposed to the movie based on the book.)

OUCH!snafu...but seriously-how about arsenic & old lace?
Capn,
Would you update musical version of ARSEENIC AND OLD LACE or leave 1940s setting?

Newsies. Like I've never said this before. And I agree with Suzikane about Outsiders; the play gets me everytime. And also with Dickon, Hunchback of Notre Dame could be really haunting on stage.
Disney has already staged Hunchback in Germany, It played from 1999 to 2002. I don't know why they did it in Germany and nowhere else... There was also talk of a live action musical version for ABC. At this point, I think they're just trying to figure out what they want to do with it. Basically which would make more money, Broadway and a national tour or an ABC movie...
This is actually the only work of Shwartz's that I can appreciate. With songs like "Hell Fire" I think a lot of children were out of the loop while the parents were impressed. It's very close to the original novel, yet because it's Disney they still had to throw in those talking gargoyles... ugh...
I think the Ray Liota movie IDENTITY would be a really freaky musical, if not a hilarious flop, then...

Great suggestions everyone, particularly EvelynNesbit! I very much agree with Hunchback. It would rock. I also really like the idea of A League of Their Own...what a great movie.
How about one of my alltime favorite movies...
BIG FISH
imagine the possibilities! It could be so inventive and original in the way you execute the 'fiction/fantasy' versus 'reality'. I see it as being almost revolutionary in its production.
Anyone find it odd, though, that some of the greatest movies turned musicals were originaly mediocre/crappy movies?
ie: Hairspray, Millie, the Producers, The Full Monty, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, etc. I mean, they are not all bad movies, but nothing extrordinary...I commend those who saw the possibilities in these often low budget films and made them awesome musicals!
THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE a BAD movie?
How could the combined talents of Julie Andrews, Carol Channing AND Mary Tyler Moore produce a poor film?
By the way, Channing was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in film. So there! :)

Zoolander should be made into a musical.
And not a movie, but Murder,She Wrote
should also be turned into a mega musical!
Yeah, here is the German CAST RECORDING(!) of Hunchback. I'm not sure if new songs were written, but there's 19 tracks which is more than the movie soundtrack so I assume so...

wow,
good question maryethel,
I think I would stick w/the 40s but couldn't you just see george w screaming "charge!"
My Father/The Hero...itimate space of the island, with the underlying suspicion of the lead, and trying to keep it a nice little love story...its a cute movie..and singing would only enhance it.
Funny you mention that. I was talking to Faith Prince who said it would be a great musical, also.
Mom,
A STAR WARS musical...
Might be an expensive proposition to mount (sets, costumes, special effects...) but would definitely have a pre-sold market!
there IS a Star Wars musical, but I'm fairly certain it's never been staged. all I know is Chuck Wagner was involved as Han Solo at one point.
i want to see a musical of PARTY MOSTER, kind of a better version of Taboo if done right

Hi Capn' :)
Yes, but the REAL question is who could we hire to impersonate Bush?
