All right...here's a poser.
It used to be that Broadway musicals were made into feature films. Nowadays, the opposite is true; for example, the currently running filmusical "The Wedding Singer" and others like "The Graduate" and "The Witches of Eastwick."
It used to be that Broadway set the tone for popular music. But today popular music sets the score for such shows as "Good Rockin' Tonight", "Jersey Boys" and "Altar Boyz."
It used to be that Broadway plays would get mentioned on TV shows. Now, those same shows are being turned into musicals as well, like "The Brady Bunch Musical" and "Gilligan's Island: The Musical."
So, here's your chance. Which book would make a wonderful play? What favorite movie needs to be a musical spectacular? Which of your favorite TV shows would make a great evening of live theatre? Do you play "Tomb Raider" and think to yourself "this needs to be seen onstage"?
Personally, I want to do a musical version of The Poseidon Adventure...with puppets.
