Sorry if I mislead anybody, but this musical does not YET exist. But, it is only a matter of time, as I'm sure you will agree. Seems like Broadway Producers will make a musical out of just about ANYthing.
Tonight, while languishing in front of the boob tube, watching this favorite Patrick Swayze classic for yet another iteration, it occurred to me: eventually, it MUST become a big-budget Broadway Musical and take the world by storm! Face it. they've used just about every other story possible; it's only a matter of time until they get to this one.
So, we might as well help them along by brainstorming some good tidbits to help the producers sell the idea to their investors.
What songs would you include? What production numbers? What scenes, what sets, what characters? The more good ideas we generate here, the more likely it will be that some production company will make it happen.
I'll start:
There's got to be a touching, heart-rending ballad when Dalton finds Wade dead at the bar. What would the song be called?
There's got to be a finale called "A Polar Bear Fell On Me"
There needs to be a song based on the phrase: "Pretty good for a blind white boy."
And of course a huge production number called: "I Want You To Be Nice!"
I've got a million ideas, but I'll hold them in abeyance for now. What do YOU all think would make this production a smash?
