Why is there no stage version of THE COURT JESTER?

THE COURT JESTER--surely one of the funniest and most swashbuckling movies of all time! It would need a few more songs to pad out the marvellous Sylvia Fine originals, but the settings are fairly simple (there are probably fewer locations than, say, CAMELOT) and the adaptation wouldn't have to change much. Of course, it's hard to find a Danny Kaye equal these days. If anyone else thinks this is a good idea, how would you cast it today? (Douglas Sills?)

i absolutely love this movie and could easily see it on stage. I actually just recently lent my copy of this movie to a friend of mine who wants to expand his knowledge of musicals.

I have been asking this question for years.
Christian Borle in the title role.

I did a thread on that not too long ago:

I thought of these people:
Roger Bart, Nathan Lane, Douglas Sills: Hubert Hawkins
Sutton Foster, Mara Davi, Susan Egan: Princess

Yes, there was a thread about this and I posted about the rights and the history.
