Pretty much what the title says... What show, musical or straight play, Broadway or Off-Broadway would you like to see either turned into a movie? Even if it has already been adapted into a movie, and you would want it redone? Just curious:) What shows would you love to see turned into movies?

Other Desert Cities and Venus in Fur would work particularly well on screen if done correctly.

I believe OTHER DESERT CITIES is already in development.
I think JAMES JOYCE'S THE DEAD would work beautifully on film.

I know this will never happen but I wish PROMiSes, PROMiSes would be considered as a TV movie.

Next to Normal and a proper remake of A Chorus Line.

I think The Book of Mormon would be a great movie. Even if they just kept the plot without the music it has a very movie like quality about it.

It would be interesting to see Wicked as a movie. Memphis would be a pretty fun movie to watch as well.

I'd like to see the original cast of RENT have another go at a movie version, this time with Tarantino as director.

Plans for a Jersey Boys movie were in the works, but it was halted sadly. I really do hope it picks back up though!

I really wish they'd do Avenue Q on videotape, styled like an episode of Sesame Street, which seems like such an obvious thing to do that it surprises me they haven't done it already. It's one of the only modern musicals I know of that has proliferated among my non-musical friends, so it seems like it would have a wide audience. On a more frivolous, wishful level, a film of Merrily We Roll Along in the fashion of classic 60s Cinemascope musical extravaganzas would be really fun (for me).

Take Me Out
I believe the rights were optioned but it just never happened. Now that Denis O'Hare has found some notoriety with true blood and in films I wish it could be filmed.
I agree with both of your choices as well, Charley Kringas

Boy From Oz. Hugh is still young enough and Anne Hathaway would make the perfect Liza.

Wicked. But with Russell Crowe as Galinda.

Wicked could be a terrific movie if they managed to pull it off and cast the right people. Same with Book of Mormon.
Mame (with someone who can sing and age appropriate)
Promises, Promises
Anything Goes would be nice and fun especially with a great cast.
I'd actually like to see an actually good version of Gypsy on film. For such a great show, both film versions have somehow turned out lousy. Not saying I want Barbra Streisand considering she's FAR from ideal, but I'd still like a new film even if it has to be with her.

Could you imagine if Spielberg did RAGTIME? Nicole Kidman as Mother, Jamie Foxx as Coalhouse, Hugh Jackman (or Jeremy Renner) as Tateth, Kerry Washington as Sarah...could be perfect.
Also, a film of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels could be fun! What about Light In The Piazza? Is Meryl too old to play Margaret with Anna Kendrick as Clara?

Couldn't agree more about Ragtime! It would be incredible. I hope the possible Miss Saigon turns into reality. I've got to add Billy Elliot (the musical) to the list.
Also, Mame with someone who can sing those songs.

If done right, Parade could be an amazing movie. Just imagine what they could do with "The Old Red Hills of Home" alone.

Of the ones that are most likely to be done eventually, my top choices would be Ragtime and Miss Saigon.
I would love to see Next to Normal filmed and I think it would be brilliant if it is in the right hands (someone like Jim Sheridan or Todd Field comes to mind).
Obviously, I would love a film version of my favorite musical of all time (Caroline, or Change), but I know that would be extremely unlikely to ever happen. Maybe HBO would consider it since Tony Kushner is back in the limelight with Lincoln?
