Posted: 1/24/05 at 12:17amKinda out there but oh well. My last post was about if Trump the Musical was more then just a rumor...people misinterperted it but it gave me a good post idea. What T.V shows/book/movies/etc. do you think would be good on Broadway? I nominate a mystery of some-sort. Like Agatha Christy only a lot more modern.

Stop being such rude snobs Dick and CATS.
Now for the question, I think Dirty Dancing would make an amazing musical. I hear that there's going to be a mtv Real World musical. I also think that Tina Turner's life story What's Love Got To Do With It would make a great musical.

WickedGypsy,
Mysteries are a genre that have never worked as musical theatre, and are not often adapted. The few that exist (SOMETHING'S AFOOT, CLUE) didn't succeed because the genre doesn't allow for character development -- it is crucial to keep the audience from knowing anything real about the characters so that the mystery element is preserved. In a musical, this is deadly.

Posted: 1/24/05 at 8:48amI WOuld love to see a play of High Fidelity, but then again i am very happy with the film adaptation. READ THE BOOK! that sounded more like an advertisement!
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell
