Would "Never Been Kissed" Work As A Musical?

I watched it again tonight and thought that it has everything that would make a really great musical. Anyone else think it would work?

Josie Grossie already sounds like it could be a fun number

I honestly think that anything can work with the right people but I do think this could be a really fun musical.

What a great idea!!! I agree that with the right people, a lot of movies have potential but this could really work. Annaleigh....that's an interesting thought.

It has one of my favorite chick flick endings. Michael Vartan can run towards me anytime he wants.

I'm going to quote it incorrectly but the

"Sorry I'm late. It took forever to get here."
"I know the feeling."

Gold! Chick flick gold!

The musical should combine Molly Shannon and David Arquette's characters. Or just do away with Molly's. It works on film but it would seem crowded on stage. If they take out David's role, they'd have to rewrite how she becomes popular.

But Molly ends up being John C. Reilly's love interest in the end. I agree that they'd have to streamline characters but it would be tough. They could cut out Octavia Spencer's part since she had 2 lines.

Who would play Coulson? Edward Watts? He may read too old. It needs an actor who comes across as older than the students but not old enough that his feelings for Josie are creepy.

Adam Kantor for Coulson? I'm horrible at dream casting.

He reads a bit too young though, doesn't he? But I like that idea!

And then you have Leelee's character and the three Barbie girls and the guy who takes her to prom.

Yeah, it's a big cast when you break it all down. But the three girls can just be like "Silly Girls".

Benjamin Walker for Coulson? Not that he would gravitate towards something this light and fluffy

I feel like it needs someone Creel-ish, but not Gavin himself

I really think this could be a great musical. An inspired choice. It has all the makings of a great one.

Sharing is caring. Imagine him running across a baseball field or getting a condom flung at his face.

No agreed, but he can play straight too, especially cool and quirky and the characters background could change

Either way I think the idea is excellent. Its a more obvious idea than say Legally Blonde
