We want to hear from you! We're starting #BwayWorldPrompts, where each day we'll be asking our readers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram questions to spark some theater conversation.
Today we asked: Which band or singer's music would you turn into a jukebox musical?
Read some of our reader's answers below!
"Lady Gaga would be a fun musical!" @youcancallmejai
"Olivia Newton John" @timquicksell
"Neon Trees or Paramore definitely!" @abirosenthal
"Avicii!" @fairly.loud.and.frangled.mads
"panic! at the disco's first album is supposed to be like a theatrical story fun fact! I think if you take songs from their albums and make them into a musical (Like Green Day did with American Idiot) And I think it would be a fantastic show. If Marina and the Diamonds release more music, i'd love her music to become a musical sort of thing; specifically her album Electra Heart." @broadwaytay
"My dream jukebox musical would be based on Fleetwood Mac" @gabbylex
"Taylor Swift. The storytelling in her songs is so well-suited to theatre and she's one of the best songwriters out there. Honestly Broadway needs her talent." @taylorsbarrett
"His Holiness Stevie Wonder" @TheBabyGuyNYC
"panic at the disco have such good bops but also some slow songs that could easily lend themselves to serious moments of the musical.. i would like to see it" @louisIronson
"Led Zeppelin or Brandi Carlile" @cbrookecreative
