Super Mario the Musical

[cameron iacobucci]

I am making a musical about Mario,so far the plot is that Bowser Junior wants to be a plumber, but it turns out he was tricking everyone to flood the mushroom kingdom unless Princess Peach gives herself up.

would you want to see this show? why or why not? and what could i fix?

The first thing you might want to fix is actually getting the rights?

I mean obviously you should see if you could secure the rights to the franchise and the rights to the Koji Kondo and co. score. However, you obviously still want to work on this pet project. I would actually be interested in seeing a Mario themed musical because I'm a huge fan of the Mario franchise. I think it could take the tone of the Paper Mario/Super Mario RPG games as it has a much more self-referential and self-deprecating to it that is a hit with American audiences then have it shift to a more serious tone where the stakes are high.

Be warned though, you're going to get a lot of dismissive posts just because you want to turn a big franchise...and a video game franchise...into a musical.

I think that sounds like a lot of fun and I hope you have an awesome time working on it!

Cameron this might interest you. In 2000 Nintendo commissioned a musical based on the Pokemon franchise called Pokemon Live! It went on a national tour and featured future Broadway star Andrew Rannells as James of Team Rocket. 

In 2016 GameInformer hosted an interview with the show's writer; Michael Slade. He has some insights into the process of working with Nintendo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WE5RAG68UI 

Andrew Rannells discusses his experience with the show briefly here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnw0BXKk8Ow

Personally, I would not be interested, but that's me.   Doesn't mean they won't be lots that are.  Quality is quality.  If YOU find it the right project, go for it!
