Broadway Musicals!
With the addition of Ghost the Musical to the 2012 Broadway season, here are some more ideas for terrible musicals that could appear on the Broadway stage, all based on movies.
-The Garbage Pail Kids, The Musical!
- Taking plot elements from the notorious flop film, you could have the kids putting on a show instead of creating a clothing line. They would also have to played by little people in terrifying costumes.
- Encino Man: A Musical Comedy
- Remember this movie? About two guys who unfreeze a caveman and then try to get him to fit into 90’s society? We could probably get Brendan Fraser to reprise his role as the unfrozen cave man, he does theater now right?
- The Stupids
- Based on the popular children’s books about an ignorant family of morbidly obese people who got confused easily, the movie was terrible so let’s make the show amazing! We could cull the source material and have The Stupids all be played by plus size actors (since Hairspray closed they have no show to go into), and make it vignettes instead of a real story. This could work! (read no this wouldn’t work)
-Toys
- We would take the plot of this 90’s stinker and give it a more heartfelt edge. For those of you who don’t remember this movie, it had the elements of a children’s film with the plot and subject matter of an adult dramedy. The plot centers around a toy maker who wants his toy factory to go to his retired military brother and not his son, the factory then ends up producing toys and weapons for the military and it ends in a weird fight sequence over children’s choral music where the war toys take on the classic toys. Also Joan Cusack plays a robot. So you know there’s that.
-Waterworld
- We’ll set the whole thing in a swimming pool. It will be amazing. That’s all I really have for that.
So you know if any producers out there wanna hook up and bring one of these gems to the stage, you can call me.
