Pirates of the Caribbean - The Musical!
I want to see a real time metamorphosis from human to skeletal form. Plus, pirates swinging from ropes, and sword fights, it’s epic!
Ever seen Einstein on the Beach? It’s pretty much the same thing.
Well, there’s one song ready to go already.
Trey Parker doing a follow-up to “Cannibal! The Musical” based on the life of Jeffrey Dahmer?
Wow - still, I think it would have been more fun to do a live, but in B&W, stage version.
There’s already a stage play parody with musical elements; it’s mostly just straight comedy but ends with a big musical number.
Return of the Living Dead could probably make a decent punk-rock opera.
The Tar Man would probably be great if you did an “…on ice!” version, too.
There’s always my old suggestion* – Dune…the Musical
*from a decade ago. Time does fly.
American Psycho: A New Musical Thriller (starring Matt Smith)
“Glib, heartless & pretentious.”
I don’t think we’re going to beat real life on this one.
House of Leaves: The Musical
Footnotes will be projected as supertitles, while an interpreter for the deaf will be signing an entirely different set of footnotes.
It’s been 3 days since I read this and I’m still laughing.
Room: The Musical
Written, produced, and directed by Tommy Wiseau. Starring Tommy Wiseau. And with music, lyrics, and choreography by Tommy Wiseau as performed by Tommy Wiseau.
With Tommy Wiseau as lead skater.
That’s the idea.
Remember “Cop Rock”? Yes, this was a real show. It was kind of like Eminem in that I never saw a negative review.
No, it didn’t last very long.
I would have been tempted to suggest “Autism: The Musical” but not only has that been done, I’ve seen it. It was largely underwritten by Stephen Stills, whose son Henry was in it (he was about 8 years old at the time) and out of all the kids who participated, he was the only one who attended a mainstream school and also the only one who has any chance of one day living independently.
