i am all a tingle to hear the song "dick, dick, dick" that will ineveitably follow the explanation of "like a virgin." this will truly be a mature musical!

"Eve's Bayou" might make a good musical....or "The Snapper" or even "Dead Again" if they focused more on the love story.

Nightmare Before Christmas would be a GREAT stage production.. LOADS of fun I think

And I still say "Revenge of the Nerds" will make a great musical.

Ohhh yes I agree on Nightmare Before Christmas!

Hmm...Oh I think Dirty Dancing would be good. I think they tried a stage version and it did pretty bad but I think it could be done very well.

I know that they have STAGED versions of Nightmare before Christmas before.... very good i hear....

Gavin = Toby in Pville would be AMAZING. i love it.



I'd love to see a stage version of "8 Women" its already a musical, its fabulous.. i love it. i think the music needs some (okay, a lot) of work... BUT its a beautiful and bizarre piece of art that would be just breath taking on stage...
just my opinion!

Pleasantville would be amazing- it's one of my favorite movies, and they could do wonders with it if it were turned into a musical.

And call me crazy cuz it would never happen, but something about the characters in Pirates of the Caribbean need songs to sing...The Captain of the pearl screams bad-guy-Captain-Hook-like tarantellas, and Keira Knightley's role calls for a soprano ingenue. The dashing leading man is Orlando Bloom's part, and Captain Jack Sparrow needs some comedic solos. If it worked it would be amazing, but I don't see how they could do it.

Center Stage, but with a more realistic ending obviously.

Maybe it's just me, but i always found the magic in the nighmare before christmas to come from the fact that it is claymation. How can a stage version possibly come close to the magical look of the film? I just think it can't. Only so many things can be done with makeup.
