from hell’s heart I stab at thee for
hates sake I Spit on Broadway have a
child fuck warm send a baker for bread
Anna Prince for whatever and these ones
would be great
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movies that would make amazing Broadway
musicals for this list we’re taking a
look at films with great stories and
iconic set pieces that were destined to
be adapted for musical theatre happily
some local fishermen out for a pleasure
cruise at night through eel infested
waters however we have decided to
exclude movies that have already gotten
the Broadway treatment like Toy Story
and Aladdin what do you trust me
yes as well as original movie musicals
like The Nightmare Before Christmas and
frozen
[Music]
because we really want to think outside
the box on this one hey man you got a
joint number 10 dazed and confused it’d
be a lot cooler if you did just as Rock
of Ages did such a wonderful job at
capturing the essence of 80s rock a
Dazed and Confused musical could define
seventies rock
[Music]
Richard Linklater’s and during
coming-of-age comedy as a built-in
immortal soundtrack with hits like slow
ride rock and roll all night and
paranoid peppering the tracklist
[Music]
even if the stage adaptation doesn’t
take the jukebox musical route there are
numerous possibilities for original
songs too couldn’t you just see David
Watterson singing a ballad about how
high school girls eternally stay the
same age that’s what I love about these
high school girls man I get older they
stay the same age number nine Titanic
I’m Jack Dawson
have to get you to write that one down
there actually has been a Broadway
musical inspired by the sinking of the
Titanic written by Moore yes ttan and
Peter stone of course although it
debuted on Broadway the same year as the
Hollywood film that interpretation had
nothing to do with James Cameron’s
blockbuster motion picture with that
said Jack and roses love story would
work beautifully as a musical envision
the playlist featuring songs like king
of the world I’m flying and it’s been a
privilege playing with you gentlemen it
has been a privilege play
and what better way to close out the
show then with my heart will go on
playing
[Music]
number eight Planet of the Apes take
your stinking paws off me you damn dirty
ape while Planet of the Apes on Broadway
has unlimited potential
we’d love nothing more than to see the
production resemble a certain classic
Simpsons episode get your paws off me
you dirty ape he can talk sadly Phil
Hartman would not be able to reprise his
role as Troy McClure as George Taylor by
sea from chimp and a to chimpanzees the
show must go on however and songs like
dr. Zaius will live forever
dr. Zaius dr. Zaius
doctors say is Tug disease doctors say
is dr. Zaius Oh with action music and
dramatic plot twists this play would
have everything for anybody that loves
legitimate theater to suggest that we
can’t learn anything about the simian
native of a study of man it’s your
nonsense
if this musical were to flop well then
you’ll have made a monkey out of us
[Music]
number seven Star Trek to the Wrath of
Khan admit it
every time Captain Kirk screams Khan you
half expect him to burst into song
Wrath of Khan is full of moments that
provide perfect segues into music from
Khan’s villainous monologue two Spock’s
noble sacrifice
two Kirk’s heartfelt eulogy of all the
souls I have encountered in my travels
his was the most human Scottie would
naturally get his emotionally charged
back pipe solo as well Trekkies in the
Broadway set meet me two different
breeds of fandom but a musical version
of Khan might just bring together the
best of both worlds
still oh friend you’ll manage to kill
just about everyone else but like Marx
it it also bring new meaning to the term
space opera I cannot help but be touched
I of course remember you number six the
Royal Tenenbaums
what have you got
I got a pretty bad case of cancer every
Wes Anderson picture is kind of like a
musical just without any musical numbers
no I’m kidding call me Pappy okay come
on let’s shag ass in the spirit of a
musical The Royal Tenenbaums exists in a
world that feels incredibly detached
from reality but still somehow relatable
everyone’s against me old man yeah I
know but damn it I want this family to
love me
Anderson’s eccentric tone and the quirky
nature of theatre could truly go hand in
hand the big question for this stage
play is do we go with original numbers
or borrow from the film’s timeless rock
soundtrack
[Music]
either way the Royal Tenenbaums seems
born for Broadway
oh no matter number five the Princess
Bride
inconceivable although various sources
have made noises that one is in the
works it’s actually surprising that a
Broadway adaptation of The Princess
Bride hasn’t been done yet my name is
inigo montoya
you killed my father prepare to die
between into the woods and the various
stage productions from Disney fantasy’s
and musicals are usually a match made in
heaven as he wish The Princess Bride
would be no exception with ready-made
song premises we can totally see Wesley
singing as you wish in Nico Montoya
singing prepare to die or Vizzini
singing inconceivable inconceivable the
opportunities are practically
gift-wrapped for whoever takes on this
Broadway endeavor guaranteeing a winning
musical of storybook love marriage today
number four Mean Girls honey you’re not
pretending anymore you’re plastic cold
shiny hard plastic just as Legally
Blonde became a surprise Broadway smash
what we believe that Mean Girls could
have the same effect stop trying to make
fetch happen the movie already gave us a
hilarious rendition of jingle bell rock
and given the film’s array of quotable
dialogue there is no shortage of
original song concepts like Diddy’s
about sluts fetch or ESPN I put my whole
fist in my mouth just imagine if Tina
Fey herself and her composer husband
Jeff Richmond helmed this dream musical
actually you might not have to imagine
much longer as reports have surfaced
claiming they’re working on it as we
speak
whoever wrote it probably didn’t think
anyone would ever see it also what a
Jenna Maroney cameo be too much to ask
for a piece of that but I just wanna
Betty’s number three
Star Wars original trilogy
the Star Wars universe has been expanded
upon in almost every medium why not let
Broadway present it to take on the
perennial story finding a lyricist to
complement John Williams iconic musical
score wouldn’t be easy
[Music]
but the final results could be
absolutely epic
[Music]
as Disney now owns Star Wars they can
always hire Alan Menken and Stephen
Schwartz to compose a few Tunes about
Luke yearning for more in life I was
going into tosche station to pick up
some power converters or Leia pining for
her nerf herder to return and you can
bet on Darth Vader getting one hell of a
villian song don’t make me destroy you
number two
Black Swan it’s just trying to be
perfect as it’s based on the classic
ballet Swan Lake Black Swan is
tailor-made for musical theater while
the film overflows with haunting imagery
a musical adaptation could take Darren
Aronofsky’s vision to a whole new level
[Music]
that was me suggesting you when it needs
to be the other way around
just imagine what a choreographer could
do with this material on stage depicting
Nina’s insecurities and paranoia through
dance the songs have just as much
potential with numbers about the loss of
innocence the loss of sanity and the
loss of virginity
if you thought the movie was disturbing
the show would bring nightmares to life
and the critics out in droves
before we close the curtain on our top
pick look we’ll know so much here are
some honorable mentions Sincerely Yours
The Breakfast Club
[Music]
if you are looking for ransom I can tell
you I don’t have money but what I do
have are a very particular set of skills
skills I have acquired over a very long
career skills that make me a nightmare
for people like you wait a minute wait a
minute doc fire are you telling me you
built a time machine out of a DeLorean
number one Friday the 13th
Jason was my son and today is his
birthday sure it may sound like an odd
choice for Broadway but there’s so much
one could do with Friday the 13th on
stage for example what if Jason were a
tragic figure seeking love well mother
Voorhees find her revenge
the counselors went paying any attention
they were making love while that young
boy drowned could it outdo Sweeney Todd
as the most violent musical of all time
which is on the bomb never know if it’s
going to run could slutty teens and
pothead jocks be the new Von Trapp
Family Singers
could virtuous virgins be the Greek
chorus of today all we know is we need
Andrew Lloyd Webber on this stat you
agree with our list what is this are you
trying to trick me
what movie do you want to see on
Broadway I’ll call the brute squad I’m
on the wood scrub you are the Brutes
