Garrison Keillor's LAKE WOBEGONE DAYS would make a great musical play, or a movie, or, best of all, a weekly TV series.

TL,TW,ATW, actually the entire Narnia series would be great as a show.I seem to remember a childrens workshop production of Phantom Tollbooth but as one of my favorite reads (still!!) I'd love to see it on the big stage. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister could be fun as well. How about a couple of classic dramas? A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and How Green was My Valley? Books were wonderful but the movies that were made left soooo much out.May be the De Vinci Code?

Has there been a stage version of To Kill a Mockingbird? I cant really see a musical version but I think it would make a great play.

My collaborators and I are currently exploring the possibilities of adapting "Much Ado About Nothing" into more contemporary traditional musical comedy. (Of course by contemporary, I mean mid 20th century). I'll let you know our progress...hehe

i loved the Da Vinci Code but i think there is to much plot and background info needed to make it work w/o completely redoing the story. If you want to really redo the book i can see it working.

No More Dead Dogs would be great!!!!!!

I think the Da Vinci Code would be sorta tricky....
