Tons of things are getting turned into musicals these days, so why not these? Note that these include ideas for funny musicals as well as serious ones.
- Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Songs are already written, just need some editing to make it into s concise musical.
- Firefly. Whedon stuff has had musical aspects before, so why not a Firefly musical?
- The saga of Chance the Snapper. Discovery, alligator Bob's failure, the arrival of alligator Robb, and the reveal that Chance is not, in fact, an alligator. It's all there. I'd pay for this.
- Are You the One?. So many actors would be needed, but god this insanity of a show could make a very entertaining musical.
- Scooby Doo. This could be so goofy, so campy, and oh so fun.
- Geekerella. This precious YA novel has such heart that I think could carry through to the stage.
- Camel corps times. Hey did you know that we used to have troops on camels? No? Well this musical could teach you all about them.
- Brooklyn 99. This show is so delightful and I can only imagine a musical version would be the same.
- The story of King Henry VIII. His reign has a ton of drama, murder, delusion, and politics. It could be a really tragic musical, maybe a bit of a Sweeney Todd vibe.
- Buzzfeed Unsolved. Maybe Ryan and Shane could end up getting chased by something and Ryan thinks it's a demon and Shane thinks it's related to the true crime stuff they do. But, of course, it will have to remain...unsolved. There would also be a hot doga interlude.
- The Emu War. Hey remember that time humans fought emus and lost? No? Well this musical would make sure you did.
- The life of Frida Kahlo. Her life has so many intense moments that it could easily carry a show.
- Moana. How is that not already on Broadway?
- Clue. I have thought about staging this movie as a play, but music could really just add to it.
- Rajneeshpuram. This group is intricate, spiritual, and dangerous. All of those seem like they would lend well to a staged musical.
(Prompt by me)
