I actually think LOVE ACTUALLY could maybe work as a musical rather than play. Either.

Mrs. Doubtfire would be superb.

I'd rather see Heathers than Mean Girls.
What about Showgirls? I mean the main character's name is Nomi Malone.
I mean all that symoblism...Nomi Malone...Know Me, I'm Alone...

lord of the flies IS a play. i was in it!
and it adapts beautifully to the stage, even though the script was sort of lame.
what about rain man as a play? sophie's choice as a play?

I'd love to see a Japanese-style horror film, like the Ring, put on stage. Could either be horrible or intense. I second Mean Girls, too. That would be awesome.

I was thinking Good Will Hunting might be good (if it wasnt already a play. I don't know if it was or not)
I also thought that Kate and Leopold would be good but, now that I think of it taht could be a musical

I wonder if/how Good Will Hunting would fly, what with MATT & BEN out and all. . .how often is that show done, anyhow?
Stand By Me, based on The Body, by Stephen King. Could work?
Superstar! Haha. Would be hilarious, but. . .probably wouldn't last. Superstar: The Musical ?
Transamerica /the musical?
Dead Poets Society
Big Fish /the musical? THAT would be a show made for spectacle. I think it could be pulled off . . . in either musical/non-musical setting.
Moulin Rouge. Screams for Broadway. Why hasn't this happened yet?

Because the source material was awful. Yeah, I know it hasn't stopped many other things from being produced, but still.

"Oh, and Reservoir Dogs could easily be adapted to reduce the flashbacks, and the ones that are still there are just held in the same warehouse, Joe's initial interviews, and going over the crime/assigning names. The only ones that would have to be cut are Mr. Orange's backstory,and the getaway. The initial diner scene could be done in front of the curtain, or with the rest of the set unlit. "
This has already been adapted to the stage at the Roadhouse Theatre in Erie, PA...and staged 4 times since 1997. Check out www.roadhousetheatre.org for info on it. It's actually a really good adaptation!
I personally would like to see American Beauty on stage!

Mrs. Doubtfire was turned into a musical in Rome. MANY years ago. I saw it.
It, obviously, never made it to the States.
Many movies are already based on plays; not just Broadway, but from all over the country.
Strange thread...but fun.

Completely second the idea for a stage version of
THE BIG CHILL.
This is a play that screams to be made.

Rosemary's Baby would probably be pretty effective as a play since a lot of it takes place inside an apartment building.

Misery has been a play, was in west end(i think) and definately toured at least twice a few years ago in uk. Julie T Wallace and Sharon Gless both had turns playing Annie Wilkes. never got to see it unfortunately

Love, Actually is already a musical.
It was presented at The Florida State Thespian Conference in April 2006.

Isn't Days of Wine and Roses a play? It's interesting to me that that's never been staged on or off Broadway (that I know of).
