"Frozen" I do like the music, it would be interesting to see how they would pull off some things on stage. I know some affects might be challenging, but I would not go as far as to say impossible. Hex3, I would be interested in hearing some of your ideas.
"Mulan" might be good too, as well as "Sleeping Beauty."
Not from the list, but I've always thought that PETE'S DRAGON would make a great show. I adore the songs to begin with, but it could be very fun to stage.
I've imagined it this way: Don't show Elliot (the dragon) until the very end. Use the invisibility gimmick & the "no one believes me" thing the whole time ... but with neat effects (Pete riding his back, footprints, destruction, etc) -- then, hit the audience with an awesome animatronic dragon (a la "Walking with Dinosaurs") materializing for the lighthouse finale.
To be honest, with the overwhelming success of FROZEN, how long do you guys give it to be on Broadway? It didn't took long at all for B&TB and TLK to be a show. Plus, Frozen may be a show at Disneyland already. So, it give it at least, 5 years to be on Broadway, 2-3 years to be a full stage adaption for a pre-Broadway run
Frozen may be there in the next few years who knows? But will they try to cast the girls as young women or teenagers? I'd imagine they would have to cast them older for the vocal demands (Elsa).
"I've always thought that SLEEPING BEAUTY would be the most adaptable and most beautiful show they could do."
I agree, it's my favourite Disney Classic and the mature atmosphere and glorious music would translate well to theatre. Think of what they could do with the gifts of beauty at the beginning with choir, lights and projection.
