Posted: 7/13/06 at 3:33pmAfter Wedding Singer has run its course and the world is craving another dose of 80's nostalgia, how about a small musical based upon "Square Pegs"?

Posted: 7/13/06 at 3:38pm'Double Trouble' or 'The Facts Of Life' would be fun but 'The Wonder Years' would be brilliant!

Posted: 7/13/06 at 4:19pmMy first thought when I read the title of this thread was Cheers, but I have to also agree with those who said Strangers With Candy. I can almost taste the potential brilliance!

Strangers With Candy--fun idea. Who would star? and who would compose it? Imagine Sir Andrew, or Sir Elton...

Posted: 7/13/06 at 6:21pmWell, they've announced a Designing Women play, but I really think it could work as a musical! WITH the original cast. Annie Potts, Dixie Carter and Delta Burke ALL have musical theater experience AND Jean Smart can do anything!!! It would be fantastic!

Queer as Folk never got past its workshop phase as a musical at the leeds playhouse(it was based on the uk version not the awfull american version)
The show was quite gritty and had some great ideas

How about The Sopranos? The songs could be "F***" "F*** (reprise)" and "F*** (finale)"
Kidding, of course.
Threadjack: A&E is airing The Sopranos in 2007-- how much will they leave in?
