Musical Theatre

I personally believe the whole movie adaptation thing is good. Gives the green ones a chance to get good stories.
I was just wondering what others thought of the concept, since some plays don't go from stage to film as well as others.

And, what's your favorite musical? If you have one.

They won't obv.
That's what we must do. While I'm in college, you'll have to come visit.
And we'll write the screenplay.
And cast it.

But of course, we'll have to build a time machine too, so Adam can be 28 and play Eric.

And yea, West Side Story is amazing. idk Center Stage.

Hmm. Indeed.
And so far as RENT. I'd by Maureen, and you'd be Mimi, yes?
But we'd need Nina too. xD

And WSS. Wow. That would be interesting.

Re: Musical Theatre

Depends on your outlook. Most of the characters are not good in the sense that they're on drugs, or just plain lame.
Maureen is a bisexual slut who is hung up on herself.
Mimi is a heroin addict S&M dancer, but she's a lot nicer than Maureen.
Joanne is Maureen's girlfriend.
And those are the three main girls.

Angel is a girl. But technically not. xD

I have the original silent film. But I haven't watched it.
Tim Burton is redoing Alice in Wonderland. Which will be amazing.
I almost think he should do the Wizard of Oz.

Certainly an interesting topic! I agree, Tim Burton is amazing and I saw the trailer for 9! His new film which he is producing. And uh, we just saw Coraline!

Re: Musical Theatre

Damn Batman9009, you get in here and I haven't even had a chance to introduce myself to you and you already stuck up a conversation!

Way to make yourself noticed!

First off WELCOME!

Second... My favorite musical by far is Sweeny Todd, and its been beautifully done by Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.

I agree however, that there are many musicals that are fun that people just don't care to watch! I personally want to see Avenue Q and Wicked on film... Haven't seen them, and haven't had the chance to read Wicked (even though I have the book. Of course that makes way for Son of a Witch as well...

Anyone else care to add to this?

Re: Musical Theatre

I'm a pretty huge fan of Tim Burton, I agree with God here, Sweeny Todd was great, and Johnny Depp really surprised me with his singing capabilities.
I haven't really had a chance to watch musicals though.

Re: Musical Theatre

Not a big musical fan, the constant songs every other minute annoyed the crap out of me even growing up watching Disney. I do admit, very few are ok....Nightmare Before Christmas is always a favorite of mine.

Re: Musical Theatre

Well, thanks for the welcome. (:

A lot of people here don't like musicals. Although most of them don't have a reason, they just think it's lame. I live in a very inartistic place.

But, I tend to lean more toward things like Wicked, and RENT. I really love the Wizard of OZ and, so far, Wicked.
Cry Baby was a good movie, but I didn't like that Johnny didn't sing in it, because I know that he can sing.
Sweeney Todd and RHPS have one major flaw, but I still love them, and that's the whole eating people thing.
I really think I want to see Cabaret, although my friend said it wasn't so great.

I never thought I'd say it, but I agree. I loved the books. But the movie killed everything.

I want to go to a musical ice show.

Man, I'm lame.

I think the last good musical Disney made was Newsies. And it was only good because it involved Christian Bale singing.

I can argue that Disney really had no part in the musicalness to it though... Danny Elfman composed the music, so together with Tim Burton, I would say Disney merely paid for the production...

Which would be exactly why it's good. Disney itself had nothing to do with the creative process.
If I see one more High School Musical, or Camp Rock (which I liked, but still) my head will explode.

I'll be sure to get pictures before they clean it up. (kidding!!!)

Disney advirtises to kids 15 and under.
We need more teen shows like Secret Life of the American Teenager.
But you know that Disney will always be fore kids and I mean some of the things kids networks show now a days.
Like Hannah Montanna which should've been canceled when Mily's pics surfaced.
Like what about Nickalodian they canceled Zoey 101 after Jamie Lynn's pregnancy surfaced.

Nothing is really truly for kids anymore. SO much stuff not for young eyes is being advertised along with it, and the so called kiddie entertainers are guilty of this too. Pure crap is now marketed towards kids/teens nowadays, I wish real material was used. It's really sad.

Anyways, off topic!
