Why haven’t they made My Best Friend’s Wedding into a musical yet?
With a new movie musical coming out every other day, I wonder why nobody’s thought of turning rom-com favorite My Best Friend’s Wedding into the next Broadway sensation. Think about it. The soundtrack is comprised almost entirely of Burt Bacharach/Hal David songs, so you’ve got your music theme right there. And it’s a cheesy, wedding-related chick flick, which will attract the Mamma Mia crowds when that show inevitably ends its run.
Let me know what you think of this idea, and/or if you want to give me money for it.
Not that there are any solid plans for it to come to Broadway, unless it does well in London.
I’m excited for Sister Act, the Musical to come to Broadway. Now that’s a show! Plus there’s the whole gospel angle…smart, songwriting-wise.
Why haven’t they? Because people try to forget, not remember, Julia Roberts. Oh wait, maybe that’s just me. Shudder.
