The Birds?
I actually thought "Pay it Forward" would make a good musical.
however, i really don't think thereare many movies that would translate well to musical.
vice versa is another story.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Sondheim at one time considered Dennis Potters movie DREAMCHILD. I wish Adam Guettel would do it. "
Do you have any info about Sondheim's consideration.
I just finished a musical adaptation, and am in the prelimiary stages of rights.

1997 Anastasia (the animated film with Bernadette)
I think that would be absolutely fabulous especially if they added a couple more numbers.
It has the same type of things as most musicals, a belt number, ensemble numbers, and a woman and man's ballad.
It is lacking a brokenhearted ballad for Dimitri and a duet for DImitri and Anastasia when Anastasia choses him over royalty and also an amazing finale. I think giving Bartok a hilariuos number wouldnt be to much to ask either.... :)
Opinions?!

I'd love to see either The Nightmare Before Christmas or Corpse Bride re-imagined as a stage show. Corpse Bride would probably be easier, but TNBC would be awesome visually(I imagine someone like Julie Taymor would have a field day with that one).
Also...
-The Mask Of Zorro
-Cruel Intentions
-Mean Girls
-From Hell
-Beetlejuice
-Sleeping Beauty
-Jawbreaker
-Hercules
-The Flight Of Dragons(If they could find a way to pull off the dragons without it looking tacky or cheesy)
-Friday The 13th(Make it a comedy...Like what they did with Evil Dead)

Posted: 12/24/07 at 12:12amPleasantville would be my absolute dream project, whether writing/composing it or directing. I think it could be a phenomenal show for make-up and costumes, with the black-and-white to color plotline. Plus, I just love the characters and storyline anyway.

Posted: 6/20/08 at 3:24amI think "Amelie" would be fabulous with Kerry Butler as the title role.

FWIW, there is 'Tonya and Nancy: The Rock Opera', though I don't know much about it. A cast album was recently released.
