Neil Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Going with the trend of "new" Broadway musicals being based on movies of the past, which Lucy movies would make good musicals? "Yours Mine and Ours" seems a natural with songs like "I've got 10/ I've got 8" (twin soliloquies) "It's Getting Warm in Here" "Beardsley,Beardsley,BEARDSLEY" "WHO the Hell Named ME?" (Germaine's song) But what about "Facts of Life" or "Fuller Brush Girl"? Even better would be "Critic's Choice" where instead of "Sisters Three" being a play, it's a musical written by Angela so they'd have a musical within a musical like "Producers".

Brock Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 "WHO the Hell Named ME?" (Germaine's song) !!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clevernickname Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 In previews this winter for a possible run to Broadway is The Big, Big Trailer. It is a musical squeal to The Long, Long Trailer. It features such hits as "Trailer Brakes First" and "You come to your home and your home is gone!" And let's not forget that over-the-top choreography in, "Turn Right Here Left." I heard several dancers were hurt in previews just learning that number due to the confusion among which foot to move in time with the lyrics.

C L A U D E Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 They should have tried it with men in rat suits, like jerry lewis, mickey rooney, is the guy that used to don the ape suits on Lucy's shows still around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mot Morenzi Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 LOL! Great thread! The Magic Carpet could certainly have the type of spectacle Broadway loves nowadays. With such memorable hits as: "The Scarlett Falcon Waltz" "I Make the Rules, You Follow Them" "Sultrier than the Sands" "A Brand New View" (which Disney sues over as it is suspiciously similar to "A Whole New World") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
