They've been written about everything from trains to hippies. What story/current issue/lifestyle/circumstance do you think would translate well to the broadway stage?
What would make a good musical?

gherbert and I have discussed this. We both believe that "Sabrina fair" which is the inspiration for the classic film "Sabrina" would be a great musical. I think Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick should do it. Preferably in a style like She Loves Me, just not as long.

A co-worker and I were talking about this very thing today:
The movie Heathers.
Would that not be genius? With the big Act I-ending showstopper, "I love my dead gay son"?

I think the time is right for an anorexia/bulemia musical. Don't know why I think this, but I do.

I think that is a great idea: In & Out the musical - especially if they changed it to the tonys and things i like that - that would make a good musical.
I am currently writing a musical now (not In & Out)

With all the crazy high-tech, defying gravity stuff that's going on I'm surprised the evil empire (Disney) hasn't staged The Little Mermaid yet.

I second Anastasia...that movie is one of my guiltiest pleasures!
Ok so not as a musical but I always wanted to see a staged production of The Odyssey. It would be really difficult if done well I think it would be phenomenal. I just adore the story.

Disney's Hunchback was staged in Germany already. I saw it in Berling in 1999.
Home Sweet Homer was a musical version of The Odyssey that ran for one performance on Broadway starring Yul Brynner and Joan Diener.
I think the movie Heart and Souls would make an excellent musical as well as Ruthless People (or possibly from the original film version from the 50s entitled Too Many Crooks). And the book The Witch of Blackbird Pond has definite possibilities.
