Which 2017 oscar nominated film do you want to see adapted for the stage?

Besides Fences, of course. I'd love to see Jackie and Arrival see stage adaptations. Moana and La La Land also seem like they will eventually be adapted for the stage.

I saw Moonlight and it just felt perfect as a play on broadway. You never know.

I disagree. Manchester DEEPLY feels like a movie to me. Just because a film is dialogue-forward doesn't mean it'd make a good play.

I can also see Florence Foster Jenkins (for which Streep was nominated) to be adapted into a musical.

We did already have Souvenir, although it wasn't a musical.

 

Florence Foster Jenkins has an extremely similar concept to Mrs. Miller Does Her Thing, a new musical by James Lapine opening at Signature Theatre in D.C. with Debra Monk in a few days!

Yeah, Moonlight is basically already a play. And "Souvenir" is basically Florence Foster Jenkins. But maybe now is a good time to revive it? It to got excellent reviews the first time around, but failed to create an audience.
