next disney show on broadway is... — Page 3

rumor has they put a team together for aladdin....

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..

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

*Crosses FIngers* THe Nightmare Before Christmas

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.

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!

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!

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 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.

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

Who cares?
