And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.
Sorry to have to disagree broadway_freak, but I think Harry Potter would make horrible musicals. I heard for years how much the movies cut out, then adding songs to it, it would either way to long for a musical, or be really unloyal to the books. Harry Potter would work alot better as a play then a musical. There are many theatrical elements that would be fun to use with it, but I don't think a musical would work very well.
I agree, don't bring Harry to Broadway. I think we should just stop commercializing Harry Potter, to be honest. No more gargoyle glue or quidditch pencil cases. Love the books, hate everything else they've done to it.
I always thought Garrison Keillor's LAKE WOBEGONE DAYS would make a grea musical, movie or TV series, though as a musical it might play better in Middle America than in New York.
I've posted on several threads like this, but I just thought of a new one. Call me crazy, but wouldn't it be great if they made a musical based upon the movie CLUE (which was based upon the Parker Brothers game)? Have an honest to goodness musical farce on Broadway for the first time in God knows how long? With iconic well-known characters?
Oh, hell, I'll write it myself! Now, what folder is Finale in.........
There is a "Clue" musical. It premiered in Chicago.
Heart and Souls Ruthless People Blonde Venus Misery
Moonstruck has been in the works for a while. I thought there was a musical of First Wives Club produced somewhere in Europe already, but I could be wrong.

That's very interesting. I hadn't heard anything about it. I DID hear somewhere that people have been talking to the Goldsmith estate about getting the rights...but other than that I don't think there has been a musical verson of "The First Wives Club"...yet!
And, how lond has "Moonstruck" been in the works? I certainly hope it comes to fruition. It would be such an amazing show...done right, that is.
