Using Blondie songs!

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this...It better be good.

3. I'm totally intrigued.

Especially the combination of two 80's icons.

4. me too

I went to the article and it talked about an actress "playing Susan" and I thought, wow, can anyone play that role but Madonna? I can't imagine another Susan...she just was Susan. But the Blondie songs would be a mitigating factor, I am already working out a score in my head. :)

2. Being in the theatre business, this could actually work....

with the right cast....production budget....royalties...Oh, forget it....it would never happen at my theatre! :rofl:

7. There's a reason why it's being workshopped across the pond.

Then again...we have Xanadu.

8. Holy Jeebus, NO!

This one I think can work. We shall see.

6. Everything is a candidate for a musical

I have to say, I'm somewhat impressed by the creativity of turning ANYTHING into a musical and actually having it be a success. The Titanic disaster? Sure. The Revolutionary War? Why not. The Color Purple! That one kinda had me scratching my head, but what the hell.

9. Not a fan of turning movies into musicals

But I do hope that this one works.
