Hey guys, I was in the process of looking at musicals to adapt the contest and was looking for input, if you could please comment, that would be great! Also, just to let you guys know, I have decided to release an adapted Broadway musical every other month so these projects will likely fall under that category, unless it says otherwise.
- Mame- Based on the musical of the same name, this will be released next month. Cast: Bernadette Peters, Megan Mullally, Angela Lansbury, and Richard Gere. Development Stage: Post-production. Preview copies are about to be mailed.
- Gypsy- With a completely different cast and crew than the April 2007 version, I am more excited about this project than any pervious one. Cast: Bernadette Peters, Victor Garber, Brittany Snow, Kristen Bell, and Curtis Holbrook. Development Stage: In the process of finalizing crew, writing synopsis/review.
- Spring Awakening- This project has been resurrected after some new ideas in cast/crew. Development Stage: Currently considering cast members, and researching the musical.
- Les Miserables- After a long wait in the forums and in Hollywood, the groundbreaking musical will now come to the big screen. Development Stage: Alan Parker has signed on to direct and possibly adapt the story, but no other people have been selected for cast/crew.
- Buddy! : The Buddy Holly Story- Based on the short-lived broadway musical of the same name. Cast: John Lloyd Young, Curtis Holbrook, and Tyler Hilton. Development Stage: Looking for more cast members, crew, and synopsis is underway. (This project will not likely count under the 2 month rule)
Other projects just starting production: Company, The Drowsy Chaperone, Curtains, The Pajama Game, Sweet Charity, The Apple Tree, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, The Boy From Oz and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

Wasn´t there a Les Miserable bait just one or two months ago? Maybe you should drop that one...the others sound quite interesting; looking forward to them, good luck! ;-)
Indeed, there was a Les Mis bait just a couple months ago, but it was non-musical. The other one was partially criticzed because of being a straight-forward film and not a musical. I think there will be enough of a space between the baits that it will be ok. Thanks for the comment!
yay! Spring Awakening!
i REALLy wanted to do that too!
but you will do a better job than i would have lol.
im looking forward to these!
i'm considering remaking Xanadu, based off of the musical, but i think everyone will KILL me hahaha
I will be very interested in doing a team bait with you in the future on your Buddy Holly project. I know a lot about his life story and his career and music and would love to be a part of that. Email me if you're interested. Shkrmkr8r@aol.com
thanks for the comments guys, I glad to here that everyone enjoys my musical baits!
also, D.W. I sent you an email on the possibility of a team bait. hopefully for the month of March!
All of those sound like great ideas but how do you plan on pulling off The 25th Annual...?
I'm seeing the musical in a couple weeks and it's a rough idea at this point. But after I see it, I'll decide if I can pull it off or not.
