I need to see a Broadway play. Anyone want to come along?

I was talking with a friend about "The Simpsons" and we were reminded of Planet of the Apes, the Musical. Does anyone remember the Dr. Zaius number done to Rock me Amadeus? How about the fact that the main star of the show was Troy McClure? Anyway after some thought I realized that there are many fine television shows and movies that can be turned into Broadway musicals.

Star Wars (Episode 4 to 6)

Now this is crying to be turned into a musical. We can get one of those blond haired boy band kids to play Luke Skywalker. It could even have opera qualities. When Ben is singing about facing Darth Vader or Luke can sing about his desire to leave Tattoine.

In Empire, Luke can sing about Darth Vader being his father. Han and Leia can do a number about their attraction to each other.

In Jedi, we can have the big finale with everyone together. Come on it would be great.

The Rocky movies (ok maybe not 5 and even 4 is debatable)

We can get Frank Stallone for the title role; lord knows that he needs the work. The numbers where Rocky is singing to Adrian alone will be great. We can have dance numbers as well. It will be fantastic…. Ok maybe not

Tomb Raider

If they can make 2 movies based on a this videogame franchise then a musical should be done as well. How about 'Posh Spice' in the leading role?

Resident Evil

Again if you can have 2 movies based on a videogame then a musical could be done, just like Tomb Raider. We could have huge dance numbers with all the zombies. It would be fantastic

Seinfeld

Yes "Seinfeld: The Musical" A Broadway show about Nothing. I hear Jason Alexander can sing and he's not doing anything right now. Let's give George a call and see if he's up for it.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I think they did a musical episode once so doing it on the stage instead of in front of a camera should be a minor adjustment.

Batman

Yes Batman the musical, why not? How about Billy Joel as Batman? I think it would be perfect. Yeah I would go out and see it. Hey we put up with the Prince soundtrack from the first movie so a musical shouldn't be that much different.

Spiderman

Now your all laughing now big time right? Spiderman the musical, now he's really lost it. Well guess what! ! Its happening for REAL. Don't believe me, then click on this.

So I'm ready to get my tux out of the closet and enjoy an evening at the theatre. How about you?

Oh and if someone can come up with an idea like "Cop Rock" for a TV show then turning all these ideas into musicals shouldn't be that big a deal
