What a fabulous point you make! I hope Disney is listening.
As for myself, how I would love to see Sleeping Beauty.

WHEN TIGGER'S GO WILD

Actually though I would love to see Hunchback
What about Bedknobs and Broomsticks?

POCAHANTOS!

...Not.

I agree that Ali Ewoldt and Adam Jacobs would look darn good as Aladdin and Jasmine.

CInderella, Peter Pan, Snow white or any of the disney princess shows
Um, you do realize that Cinderella and Peter Pan are already musicals, right?

I love Mulan and it would be awesome to see Lea Salonga do the whole role, but I don't trust Disney not to f*ck it up.

MULAN MULAN MULAN!!!! would be freaking incredible.

just as equally amazing would be POCAHONTAS. For real. It could be incredible.

They would be the most "real" of any Disney shows put out. I want to see BOTH of these shows go to Broadway before I die.

Has there EVER been a Broadway show about the Chinese OR about Indians?

Mulan, Alice in Wonderland, and I never even thought of Fantasia but now my interest is peaked.

Problems with Mulan is the staging. An army of thousands coming at you and an avalanche would be hard to pull off. Mushu and the lucky bug would be hard but if Little Mermaid can pull off the fish then who knows.

Alice in Wonderland would be cool

Bedknobs and Broomsticks would be pretty cool also

get away from the "outcast with singing animal friends" motif

I love the idea of Mulan, it would be difficult to stage, but then I thought the same of Lion King and it worked out for them. However, as much as I adore Ms. Salonga, she is far too old to play it now. There aren't an abundance of Asian roles to go around, so let's give a newbie a chance to shine. I also think Newsies would work really well on stage.

[JRybka]

Posted: 3/23/07 at 12:03pm

I think Newsies would be good but it is a huge show with lots of kids a la Oliver!

I think Mulan would rock! They would have to change some of it. But just imagine if they did it with a dragon like during Chinese New Year. It would be pretty awesome.

"CInderella, Peter Pan, Snow white or any of the disney princess shows"

It's princess movies, not shows.

[JRybka]

Actually there are some Shows out there that are "princess shows" they tour all the time.. Some of them are on ice some of them aren't....

You know, I HATE it when people (LIMELIGHTMIKE...cough cough) put up a link of a previous thread as a way of chastising people for posting threads that discuss already discussed topics.

Get over yourself. So what if there already is a thread on this.

They are enjoying their conversation. Leave them alone.

Lord, some people.

Anyway, Hercules would be my choice.

Hunchback of Notre Dame is already being done in Europe

[bobby_luvs_bway]

Posted: 3/23/07 at 12:43pm

Weren't there plans to transfer Hunchback, or to film it? I don't know...I'm still on my first cup of coffee.

I so wish I could see this on stage. Hunchback is one of my favorite Disney movies, and it has some really beautiful music.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks would be cool, but I think it would be difficult to pull off. A lot of the best parts of the movie are the effects and the mixing of live action and animation. I'm not familiar with the original book, so I don't know how plausible it would be to cut those parts for a stage show a la Mary Poppins.

I personally love The Jungle Book, but it would have to be done in the same masks-and-puppets style as The Lion King. Maybe after Lion King closes (if it ever closes) there will be room for another animal story.

Wasn't Drew Sarich Quasimodo in "Del Glockner" or whatever the German production was called?

From what I hear, its absolutely beautiful.

Pity Disney keeps cranking out shows without transferring this one.

It wasn't posted to degrade anyone. Lord knows it's been done eto me TOO MANY TIMES to count by various others here on the board. I did however wish to voice my opinion (via my HERC thread) w/ various others having made their thoughts & opinions known on HERC being mounted. I'm not one to stir the sh*t pot, so please, don't make reference to me causing any issues. That's my deal, and I want everyone to know that. I LOVE Disney just as much as the next guy/girl, and when push comes to shove, I honestly think that HUNCHBACK deserves a run on Broadway -- That score was BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED.



Best,

101 Dalmatians.

Glenn Close is coming back to Broadway with about one hundred dancers as the pups. Work will be had for those with fancy feet.

The Fox and the Hound

Here the fox and the hound will actually be played by a fox and a hound. Two different foxes and two different hounds will be cast, not to exhaust them. The bear at the end of the play will be played by Robin Williams and Rebecca Luker will play the dog's mother.

Uhh. The musical does not have to be a carbon copy of the movie.

If I had to choose I would pick MULAN. It could definitely work.

as for Hunchback, that was done, closed a long time back and yes Drew was Quasi (phenominal vocal performance) it was a beautiful show, much darker than the cartoon (lead characters other than Frolo die) but from the clips i have seen on that site which shall not be named, the direction sucked.

kind of like what happened in B&tB where it looks good, but the dialogue and blocking between songs and set changes was a let down.
