re: Your Worst Musical Ideas

[NYC_or_Bust]

The Amityville Horror Show

[Timmer]

I love these. Keep them coming!

"Bozo" (the musical about a clown.)

[Timmer]

"We had some "great" ones the last time we did this thread."

Including someone's suggestion of "Fantasy Island". But that poster couldn't figure out how to do the landing. I suggested that you have them land offstage and trundle onstage with bags in hand.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch: The Musical!
Starring Jackie Hoffman and Mary Testa as the Aunts

Black Sheep the Musical
Would require theatrical puppetry to the extreme! lol!

However, I'd love to see a Musical of the Sex and the City movie, and School of Rock lol!

Last summer, my friend and I wrote "Macbeth: The Musical Comedy." The songs were parodies of numbers from Sweeney Todd and Little Shop of Horrors. It was pretty terrible.

RENT was a very poignant show that made use of AIDS in the storyline. How about "Oh, Ebola! A New Musical Adventure?"

Madame No-- I actually had a nightmare a few weeks ago that they closed Spamalot for "Twilight: The Musical."

Whe I was in high school I wrote the senior class musical. It was an adaption of Nevile Shutes novel ON THE BEACH ( which is about the world dying off after a nuclear war) The last 3 scenes were the deaths of all the main characters. I called it CRY OF THE DAWN ( I should have called it CRY FOR THE AUDIENCE) Howard Ashmans sister Sara was one of the leads. I often wonder if Howard saw it and how he reacted.

"The Godfather" (We're gonna offer you a show you can't refuse.)

"Mosquitoes"

[geekgirl06]

A musical based on any Nicholas Sparks novels... well, after they run out of films to make, they're going to need to turn to the stage obviously!

Indiana Jones and the Pit of a Thousand Orchestras: A Musical Adventure

[ythcbroadway]

The Pursuit of Happyness: The Musical

[Timmer]

Ilove these! Let's keep this rolling!

[SporkGoddess]

The Investiture Controversy: The Musical

Henry's heart-wrenching ballad seeking forgiveness from the Pope would be so touching.

[Timmer]

"Last summer, my friend and I wrote 'Macbeth: The Musical Comedy.'"

Sounds really fun! I recently wrote a parody of "Julius Caesar" -- nonmusical, but fun. (You'd love the alternate title: "The Assassination of Caesar As Performed by His Friends in the Roman Nobility Under the Direction of Brutus and Cassius."

If anyone can help get it on stage, I'm looking for any opportunity.

Do you know of a group called Shakespeare's Skum? They're based in the Washington-Baltimore area and they do brillinatly funny Shakespeare parodies. They're the "house" troupe at the Maryland Renaissance Festival. They've played in New York and many other places. If you ever get a chance to see them, do so.

[UnderTheHill]

From Justin To Kelly: The Musical, just cause there isn't enough American Idols on Broaday...

[Timmer]

"The Investiture Controversy: The Musical"

Followed the next season by "Reformation". Luther gets to do a list song in which he sings all 95 Theses.

[LotteTBS138]

>>>"Mr. Ed: The Musical" Ad campign: You knew he talked, now he sings and dances. A real Broadway hoofer. <<<

Maybe this can either replace Equus at the Broadhurst or play down the street from it???

i got one, an adaptation of a popular Charles Dickens novel!

NKOTB: The Musical or Hangin' Tough!(this would be 50xs better than Jersey Boys)
Saved by the Bell: The musical starring Mario Lopez as AC!

and liked previously mentioned, a pre/sequel to Phantom!

[Timmer]

Glad you liked "Mr. Ed".

How about "Petticoat Junction"?

[JRybka]

Achmed! The Dead Terrorist Musical

starring Peanut & Walter
with
Jeff Dunham as "Hand up my Ass Man"
and
Jalapeno...


...on a stick


With the classic "Jingle Bombs" as the big Act One Closer.

[Bwayidiot]

A musical based on Fr. Damian and the leper colony titled ROT AWAY. The love song would be "Your hand in my hand although you're far away"

I know sick, sick, sick. Thought it up sitting in a dark closet.
