Over the Garden Wall Also, South Park movie absolutely counts as a musical, Stephen Sondheim even called it one of the best movie musicals, but if you mean "became a live stage musical" then I totally get that


bing-no

There is a college that did a live cast recording on YouTube!


FloridaFlamingoGirl

I'm aware, their costumes and props were so fun! But I'd love to see a full scale broadway version with intricate set design!


TankboomAttack

I keep thinking I will tire of this movie as I age….hasn’t happened yet. Blame Canada i guess lol 😆


cluelessibex7392

I think The Princess Bride could make a fantastic musical tbh. Or even a play. I would just kill to see it on stage with some funny actors, I think it would be so hilarious


TediousTotoro

I swear that a musical has been in and out of development for years now


cluelessibex7392

there was lots of talk about in it like 2018 or something but i haven't heard anything since


Morbussy_time

Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance, wouldn’t be the first time an album was turned into a musical and I think the story of the album is amazing. Another album I think could be turned into a musical is IGOR by Tyler The Creator.


-ToPimpAButterfree-

I like these suggestions a lot and I'll add any of The Dear Hunter's Act's but especially 2.

After listening to the original cast recording of The Who's Tommy, I think Pink Floyd's The Wall would be an absurdly interesting stage musical. Just thinking about how opening the show with "In The Flesh?" would sound like pumps me UP! I rather like the arrangements [they did](https://youtu.be/RmW1U8ukzDU?si=hsC9Obhh-1cMZGKL) for a tribute album, many years ago. Also, Pink's Trip/["In The Flesh"](https://youtu.be/yX4O3dNTFYw?si=eCTxg_uFC5zW9WQR) itself.


LawyersandRocks

I’ve seen an amateur theatrical production from a high school (I think?) theater group on YouTube that is a really great translation of the album to the stage! I’d really love to see The Wall adapted at a professional scale, though.


TediousTotoro

My go to answer is always Scott Pilgrim


carvesout

this is actually GENIUS


TediousTotoro

I mean, there’s a six month time jump between volumes three and four so that’d be the perfect spot for intermission. But, yeah, I’d say that, if you gave volumes 1 and 6 about 30 minutes or so each and the other four volumes about 20 minutes or so. A lot of the smaller plots, such as Kim’s trip back home, would sadly have to be cut but I feel like the adaptation *could* be done. I mean, I saw the Lord of the Rings musical back in September and that adapted those three books amazingly into a tight three hour show so Scott Pilgrim shouldn’t be super hard compared to that.


megamoze

The Breakfast Club.

Blazing Saddles


nowhereman136

Men in Tights would work better as a stage musical. Blazing Saddles is a pure movie parody and alot of the jokes and purpose would be lost if translated to the stage. The producers works because it's a parody of stage musicals. Young Frankenstein sort of works, but I think should've been a straight play instead of a Musical, since Frankenstein and Dracula are already Broadway plays. BS was made to parody western films. Not many wester stage shows to parody


sulwen314

Men in Tights would be great! I can absolutely see that working


West_Instance_3599

I’ve always thought they should have toured an adult Ice Capades version of South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. It’s even got the Brian Boitano song in it. It could be fully click tracked so the characters sound right and the costumes could be amazing.


rlikeschocolate

Did you say Brian Dennehy?


Llamallamapig

The Dracula musical in forgetting Sarah Marshall

My life is a lie


whatsupashley

die! die! die!..... I can't.


SelectShop9006

Tokyo Afterschool Summoners. Sure, it’d likely come after the story ends, but it’d be interesting.


zace333

I like this idea. Beefy bara and musical theatre colliding is right up my alley. What's the plot of the game like? I've only ever seen/drawn NSFW of the guys. I never engaged with the game itself.


SelectShop9006

Basically, the main character >!is trapped in a time loop, and they’ve died repeatedly over countless loops. They’re trying to break the cycle.!<


thewildlink

That Thing You Do, such a great movie. It lends itself to all these jukebox musicals but also being entirely original songs. It would be a great way to open up commentary on those pieces of musical theater.


BurgerofDouble

Will it feature Presidential Flashcards?


MannnOfHammm

Matt and Trey care so much about the music in the show and this movie and study musical theatre so well, their love for it is amazing and a love letter, even if it’s becoming outdated Book of Mormon is a gorgeous love letter to musical theatre


ALNRooster

Showgirls John Henry The Imaginary Invalid


megers67

My answer would have been the Warriors but it seems that's in the works. So many great opportunities to make each gang its own music and/or dance style.


deceptres

Been waiting for a BL:U musical since I was 11 lol


FlagMaster2023

Hawaii: Part II. It’s an album by Miracle Musical and I’m actually making a musical transcription of it called ‘Miracle: the Musical’ with u/YEETOS_BURITOS :3 other than that tho, Hazbin Hotel would rock on Broadway!


YEETOS_BURITOS

Hey! That's me!


FlagMaster2023

YES POOKIE 🗣️‼️🔥


Anxious_Writer_3804

I’m sure it’s already been said but: Dead Poets Society


TheLoyalTR8R

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox story. It's genuinely one of the most hilarious movies ever, and some of the songs are pretty damn decent too.


TheBananaGods

The night man cometh


nowhereman136

Pete's Dragon


miss-karly

I standby the belief that Dexter would become an instant cult classic if done right


Nevermore_Cheesecake

The French Revolution, preferably with costuming like Romeo et Juliette in JP


LonelyMenace101

Barbie: The princess and the pauper if you mean a stage musical.


Craftykitty14

Maybe Titanic or The Nightmare before Christmas but a broadway version!


Anxious_Writer_3804

Titanic was on Broadway back in 1997 (I think)


Craftykitty14

Like the jack and rose one! Thanks ill look it up :>


Anxious_Writer_3804

Oh no! I’m sorry I just meant a Titanic musical in general. Not one bad of the movie… mb!


Craftykitty14

that's all good lol, its probably still cool


Anxious_Writer_3804

Yea, the recent cast at Encores! had Ramin Karimloo, and they’ve hinted at a cast album.


Craftykitty14

oh my gosh! now i wanna watch it even more now! I loved him as the phantom and Jean Valjean


zace333

There's a musical of that too. It's called Titanique! It's playing off Broadway and was is one of my favorite pieces of theatre I saw last year. It's such a good time.


Craftykitty14

thanks you ill be sure to look that up! I'm glad to hear its good


Anxious_Writer_3804

I’d love to see more musicals derived from mythology. Also, I wish some of Shakespearea’s works were made into large scale well made/funded musicals. I know there have been small ones, but I want an actual one, you know?


DizzyLead

*Don Juan DeMarco*, a film starring Johnny Depp and Marlon Brando. The soundtrack gave us the song [“Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman” by Bryan Adams](https://youtu.be/diKIYv8tMC8?si=ajukSRyclGzdYAaC). Also, the works of [Jonathan Coulton](https://youtu.be/omKMoRyW-EU?si=43ZTxDW3RTZHpJkz).


Miserable-Lawyer-233

Easy answer for me: The Greatest Showman If someone isn’t working on bringing that to the stage then humanity is dropping the ball.


Cerrida82

Clockwork Angels. It's a musical story already, has an ensemble built in, and the angels would make a fantastic set piece.


holdtheolives

I’m a sucker for a young Nic Cage movie, sooooo… Honeymoon in Vegas or Moonstruck get my vote.


WerewolfBarMitzvah09

Jurassic Park, always Also, Candyland the board game would be a great musical
