We asked, and you answered! As BroadwayWorld previously announced, the Mel Brooks musical Young Frankenstein is getting a live musical adaptation on ABC this fall. In anticipation of the television musical event, we asked BroadwayWorld readers to pick their top choice for the next show to head to the small screen and get the live musical treatment, with the help of our latest bracket.
Now we've gathered some of the most popular bracket responses for you to enjoy, from musical classics like Little Shop of Horrors and Chicago to more recent Broadway favorites like Waitress and Hadestown. Get a look at all of the picks below, and be sure to fill out the bracket for yourself here to pick which show you most wanted to see become a TV live musical!

#LiveMusicalsBracket This was a very difficult decision, as I love The Drowsy Chaperone so much. But I think @WaitressMusical would appeal to a wider audience via television pic.twitter.com/wZB4rUM6vE

These matchups arent necessarily which ones I think are best, just the ones I think should be broadcast to a well funded, accessible, and widely recieved audience pic.twitter.com/uXnAaWtrFu
