Why Are Shelley Long Films So Underrepresented On Broadway? — Page 2

I agree about "Night Shift."

Also, stupid as it would likely be, "The Money Pit" could easily be a mostly-one-set stage show with the ever-transforming/repairing/breaking scenery as a selling point.

Again, would likely suck, but could be... interesting.

But if you're going to do that, why not go all out and adapt WAR OF THE ROSES? No Shelley Long, but tearing a house down is more fun that putting one up. And Stephen Sondheim can ghost-write the Danny DeVito numbers.

Now that we've mentioned it, if somebody had the balls to go with the movie's ending, WAR OF THE ROSES might not be such a bad idea for a show.

(We'll sub a Pilates or Tae Bo or whatever's-trendy class for the demo derby, since every musical now has its aerobics number... and the whole show is a "demo" of a different kind.)

Jen Cody would be PERFECT for little Drew's role!

I'd love to see Troop Beverly Hills as a musical! Perhaps someone like Sherie Rene Scott for Phyllis and Mary Testa or Andrea Martin for Velda?

Outrageous Fortune gets my vote...if just to hear "Yeah, I Got My Peeweeid!" and "...Not Gettin' Any Freshah!"

...and thank you Jon for helping me finally figure out who Sutton Foster reminds me of! Olive Oyl!!!!
