Aladdin! But, I'd want Alan Menken or Tim Rice to write the lyrics for the new songs. Not Glenn Slater. "To Be Free" is a nice addition. They should fully expand the score from there.
Maybe that's what Disney needs to do, give the public like 5 selections, and then vote on it. I think it'd be interesting to see what the public wants Disney's next Broadway show to be.
They should do a reality show where the authors select new songs and scenes to perform and then the public votes one of them off each week! Yay!
Newsies and Hercules
If they have to have a next show, I think BroadwayBound's idea is a good one. But I am kind of Disneyed out. I really think they need to take a break and come up with something original.

I would personally like to see Disney do Hercules on Broadway. "Zero to Hero" just screams "Act I closing number".

Totally stealing these from The Great White Way Report:
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (just redesign the set already and bring it over here! Sheesh)
Hocus Pocus
Davy Crockett - King Of The Wild Frontier
Country Bear Jamboree, The Musical
Newsies!! And don't hate me, but a friend's mom who works with someone who works with disney theatricals says that after the series dies down they want to start cooking up some ideas for a Hannah Montanna stage musical. It won't happen for a good couple of years but I almost barfed when I heard that the idea was even in somebody's brain lol.

Let's just make every single Disney movie into a musical and see what survives. Someone contact Alan Menken.
Hercules and Enchanted, if they can pull it off.
I love Newsies, but I think that's going to be difficult, with all the kids. But hey, they managed Annie, Oliver, and Billy...so I guess we can see where it goes.

I'm definitely putting in my vote for Mulan and Hercules, love those two movies! Aladdin could pull off too.
Awesome Danny is absolutly right!!
IF HANNANH MONTANA BECOMES A MUSICAL I WILL SCREAM, THE SHOW WOULD GET BAD REVIEWS, AND IT WOULD CLOSE IN 48 HOURS!! JUST MY PREDICTION AND 95% OF THE TIME I'M RIGHT! LETS HOPE THIS SHOW WOULDN'T BE IN THE 5% THAT I'M WRONG! OH LORD JUST PRAY!!!
"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is a must.
I've been thinking up ideas for how "The Princess and the Frog" could be staged. If I can somehow find my way into the Disney Theatricals office, I'd love to suggest them.
Newsies, Hunchback, and Hercules!
I really want Hunchback to come to the US. The score is lovely, so is the treatment to 'lyrics'. (I.E, adding Quasimodo to duet 'God Help the Outcasts', 'Someday' is now a full company song, and the awesome 'Balancing Act' which gives Esmerelda a background story and make Clopin her guardian like in the book.)
If not Hunchback, I think Disney needs to take a chill pill and calm down with their adaptations of musicals on-stage.
Definitely, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Hunchback without a doubt. I would also like to see Drew Sarich reprise his role as Quasimodo as I've heard him sing "Out There" and he was brilliant!
Didn't I read sometime back that they were planning on adapting Aladdin sometime soon? I'm sure something about it was posted on the board sometime in 09 or 08?
Has anyone seen the "Hercules" musical running on the Disney cruise lines?
