I doubt they would have a team for Aladdin yet, when The Little Mermaid is opening this year and it already has a lot of hype..

Now I'm hooked on the Alice in Wonderland idea. If you've got the right singers and right choreography, the right scenery and the right props, it can be pulled off. But how would they make Alice shrink and grow? These are the questions that haunt me...

Unfortunatley, I think HSM will be next on bway...

I would die, very VERY UNHAPPY...if HSM ever reaches the Broadway stage in NY...right now I am really set on Mulan for a couple reasons....They could incorporate Chinese art styles into the production like Chinese puppetry and the set would be amazing....and another reason, 2 words: Lea Salonga!!!

I would stop seeing ANY Disney show if HSM made it to Broadway. I really wish it wasn't called that. I wish it was called High School Disney Movie. It's a more appropriate title. And little kids would stop saying High School Musical is the best musical EVAAAHHH!!! They would say High School Disney Movie is the best movie EVAAAHHH!!! Which still would be annoying but a little less ridiculous.

I am really sold on Alice now too. The growing and shrinking thing is not going to be hard for broadway...you shrink the set not the person. There's already a play of alice and wonderland, but a musical would be amazing! Other than that Hercules would rock, as would mulan. Im not sure aladdin will come since they already made it into a stage show for schools and such to do. I think that if they wanted it on broadway it would have went there first. Maybe not. I would love to see it, and it seems to be the only one of Disney's recent sucesses that hasn't made it to broadway.

please please please bring Der Glockner Von Notre Dame to Broadway. Ive said my peace.

Nightmare Before Christmas would make a great stage production, but I'm sure it would just have a limited engagement from like october-January...although I'm sure Disney would bring it back every year much like they are planning to do with the grinch! I'm really set on Mulan, although I would love to see Hercules and Der Glockner Von Notre Dame on Broadway...I listened to Der Glockner Von Notre Dame the other day and it is very amazing!

I've always imagined The Nightmare before Christmas to be a very cool movie to stage adaptation; but my hearts set on bringing Der Glockner Von Notre Dame to broadway.

THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!

I'm so surprissed that not more people have mentioned this! I recently have been thinking about it a lot. It would be such an amazing opportunity for design, composition, and performance. It could be such a wonderful merging of live-performance, puppety and visual effects! I've actually been searching the web lately trying to sniff out ANY news if anyting is happening...but no leads.

It would be great! On a sort of sad-daydreaming level, I've been making little sketches of designs of the show and how things could be possible...including the uncurling hill. (I know, I'm a dreamer! But where would the world be without us?)

And yes...I would love to have the chance to audition for Jack Skellington. Just kinda relaxes me and excites me at the same time to think of it!

Here's to dreaming and hoping!

On the point of what people said above;

Alice in Wonderland? Oh purleaze! I had to sit through that abomination, 'Alice' the musical, and it was attrocious.

I remember when I went to a school to observe, this girl said "my sister said that High School Musical is going to broadway". I died inside at that moment though i know it won't happen.

I think The Prince of Egypt would translate well to screen (is that Disney? Or no?)

Anyway, I was watching it and I think it would work as a big epic, fantastic peice.

i think prince of egypt is dreamworks

Der Glockner von Notre Dame was directed by James Lapine who also did the book (Does this justify Disney for the Sondheim fans among us ). He didn't stick to the original movie script, but wrote a completely new book based on the original novel although he did stick to some of the changes that were made for the movie. Gringoire is still not in the musical. The gargoyles were written out of the musical, but later put back in because Disney felt the show lost to much of it's original power. The Gargoyles were renamed and by that the 'Victor-Hugo-joke' was cut.

In the end Disney felt the musical was too dark and didn't want to transfer to broadway. The theatre in Berlin was built for the musical and the sets used a lot of projections like Webber's The Woman in White did.

I recently saw a community theatre performance of Der Glockner staged in a church and it was incredible. This is absolutely one of Menken's best score ever. Especiale the first act finale where all the musical themes come together and clash. It gives me shivers everytime when I listen to the cd.

i would love to see nightmare before christmas,mulan, or something that is orginal and have heart in the story. maybe disney should try to make a new musical instead of making a movie a musical. i wish disney could go with something more orginal that is not a movie yet that would be cool....

besides i always wanted to know why is there a lot of hate for disney musicals in broadway out of curiousity.

although I too think alladin should be next, the next D.o.B show will be Newsies, with Christian Bale. Disney Theatricals will have to rearrange the way they put together and market shows in order for it to be a success but it should be fun

Newsies!
