If you could make a Broadway-musical version of any film(s), which would it/they be? Who would write the music? What would the tagline(s) be? What about song titles and lyrics?

NSG: The Musical.

Just insert a couple of creepy characters that talk about random things and/or sex, and voila! Instant fail.

:p

Funny to see something like Aliens: The Musical, if only for massive surrealness of the situation, like the aliens themselves breaking into song as they ambush the Colonial Marines underneath the nuclear reactor-thingie.

NSG would be more of a Gritty B&W French art film with a hot lesbian scene thrown in for no reason.

On a lighter note, I'd really like to see The Evil Dead remade as a Broadway Musical or perhaps Evil Dead on Ice...

Triumph of the Will: The Musical

Fixed.

Oh! Calcutta! On Ice :D

Episode 1, the Musical!

I'd give Jar Jar a fucking aria.

The question is, would it really be more horrible than the movie?

I'd give Jar Jar a fucking aria.

Now I have a Jar-Jar rendition of Fin ch'han dal vino stuck in my head!

Jaws: The Musical

Where hell have you been? (http://www.evildeadthemusical.com/)

Where hell have you been? (http://www.evildeadthemusical.com/)

Obviously not Toronto! Thats awesome! - I absolutely have to see it now.

I'm actually in Germany and it says that they will bring it there sometime but no date announced yet. So maybe I actually can see it.

Amityville: The Musical!

The only Musical where the House breaks into song!

There's also SAW: The Musical! :D

I'd also like to see a musical episode of House. :D

Mel Brooks' Silent Movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Movie) The Musical!

Nothing more needs to be said.....

Um..er.. uhh...Oh!
Close Encounters of the Third Kind: The Musical

A Musical Rendition of Lord of the Rings

That could be fun - but l-o-n-g, Daedric.

I thought of doing one on WWII about twenty years ago. I actually wrote about four of the songs for it but didn't proceed.

It was a story of a Jewish family living in Warsaw in 1938 and having Seder (the Passover Dinner).
Mr Rosenbaum makes the traditional toast: "Next Year in Jerusalem"

Shimon Rosenbaum (a left wing student) interrupts: "Next year will be too late!"

Rosa Rosenbaum (radical daughter): "Next year the Germans come

Chava Rosenbaum (the mother): "Why don't we emigrate?"

The family then go their separate ways but only some are united at the end of the war.

M: The Musical

Hans Beckert: I have no control, oh I cannot control, I love to murder CHIIIIILL-dren.
Schraenker: How can a man, be so without control?
The Chorus of Criminals: We are... IN-creduuuulous.
Hans Beckert: It is there, it is there, oh it is there, oh it is there all the time.

Frost/Nixon the Musical...
With songs such as...

"I'm a Cheesy Entertainer No More!" -Frost
"I Will Earn 600,000, and I Don't Know Why!" -Nixon
"The Trial He Never Had..." -Frost's writers
"Once Upon a Time" -Nixon
"Smiles" -Frost
"I Know Where You Live" -Nixon
"Watergate" -Frost and Nixon
"Massacre of the East" -Frost and Nixon
"Just Don't Do It" -Nixon's Advisor
"Italian Shoes" -Frost and Nixon

If you saw the movie, you will get it.

I'd also like to see a musical episode of House. :D
Like they did with Scrubs, no doubt. As long as they have another scene where House is hallucinating clipping off Cameron's blouse.

Hannibal and Naked Lunch (CToaN and I will be in it. I'll be the Mugwump and he'll be the typewriter)
I might also mention Pink Flamingos but i think it kinda already is one.

Equilibrium: The Musical

Or how about a musical version of that live action Cowboy Bebop movie I'm hearing so much about lately? I bet that'll suck in dramatic fashion.

NSG: The Musical.

Just insert a couple of creepy characters that talk about random things and/or sex, and voila! Instant fail.
sorry, but I'll pay the price just to see LG sic his Scrotum seeking attack weasles on everyone!

Mel Brooks' Silent Movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Movie) The Musical! but who will write the music for the song 'No!'

Dragonball: the musical.

sorry, but I'll pay the price just to see LG sic his Scrotum seeking attack weasles on everyone!

Not just that. There's some classic pieces that just beg to be reenacted. Like the part where he was whacking off talking with me.
And Sin's First Date Etiquette conversation. Plus a few other ones.

If you could make a Broadway-musical version of any film(s), which would it/they be? Who would write the music? What would the tagline(s) be? What about song titles and lyrics?

This is what you get when the Thespians get involved.

Munich: the musical.
I can't quite bring myself to say Schindler's List...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Hunter S. Thompson dancing would be an exercise in futility.

agreed.

The Ringu films would make for a good opera cycle. I can picture Sadako singing an aria.

Also Lawrence of Arabia on ice

Deep Throat: The Musical

What about a musical that only uses singles by Marilyn Mansion sung as show tunes?

The Dope Show would be about people from the bottom of the social ladder trying to make their way to the top when they create a new wonder drug they sell on the street. It would be a tail of love, corruption, rivalry, and betrayel!


Main Theme:
The Dope Show

Love Songs:
The Beautiful People
Tainted Love

Drug Songs:
The New Shit
Sweet Dreams
I Don't Like the Drugs But the Drugs Like Me

Other Music:
Personal Jesus
Disposable Teens
The Nobodies

And the tag line would be "We're all stars now."

NCIS: the Musical

ANybody ever heard of Stephen Bochco's (Creator of NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues) less successful and very short lived tv show: Cop Rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cop_Rock)?

That's right. A musical cop drama. Think it would be a hit today?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Musical - oh wait, Joss beat me to it!

OK, then I call for a live production of "Once More, With Feeling"

"Bodyline; the musical"

If you could make a Broadway-musical version of any film(s), ...

300 scantly-clad Spartans: Keep it happy, keep it snappy, keep it gay!

(I don't like musicals anyway.)

Evil Dead: The-

Aw shit, it's been done.

Scarface, no doubt about it. Esp. if I could get it on ice.

What about a ballet?

What about a ballet?
Absolutely not.

Starship Troopers as a Busby Berkeley musical. Think of the dance numbers with massed mobile infantry and bugs doing tight geometric formations wearing outlandish costumes.

NCIS: the Musical

I see a duet between Ziva and DiNozzo, a duet between Abby and her mass spectrometer. Ducky and Gibbs singing Memories. McGee doing a tapdance between flying bullets.

Beautiful.
