My lifelong dream has been to adapt "Mommie Dearest" as a musical. Then I found out someone already did that, and it was a huge flop. If ONLY I had gotten there first! "No More Wire Hangers" would be the eleven-o-clock number and the counterpoint between Christina and Joan would have rivaled anything from Les Mis.
Here are a few others on my list for possible stage adaptations:
The Hills Have Eyes
Slumber Party Massacre 3
Mrs Doubtfire
Armageddon
A really upbeat version of "The Passion of the Christ"
Drop Dead Gorgeous (this would make such a fucking fantastic musical and I have dibs on the Brittany Murphy character)
The original Scream
Apollo 13
Eyes Wide Shut
Doubt! (with explanation mark, of course)
I just don't know which one to start with.
Thoughts: if you did Drop Dead Gorgeous I would want to play Denise Richards.
ReplyDeleteIf you did Scream, I call dibs on Rose McGowan.
and also, what about Mean Girls or I Know Who Killed Me.
(this is JP)
Oooh I love the Apollo 13 idea! Excellent. What about Snakes on a Plane?
ReplyDeleteJP, I have you down to be Denise. Kaiti, I'm going to make you be Kirsten Dunst, but you have to brush up on your tap skills.
ReplyDeleteI thought about snakes on a plane, I think it could maybe work as a one-act.
