I think my favorite musicals from this list would be ANNA LOLA ISLA and FANGIRL (the one and only time I would approve of Kanye music too, bahaha). UPROOTED would be like INTO THE WOODS meets WICKED, I think, with a darker tone. OMG. The moving forest.

And also, how about the Lunar Chronicles, with all those amazing heroines and heroes who aren't intimidated by their girl's smarts and can't you just imagine Levana's solo? <br /><br />No, wait, I've picked my favorite. THE NIGHT CIRCUS. If anything should be a musical, it's that one.

Where Nina and Matthias have some really heart renting satisfied type songs, and Wylan and Jesper have some really cute, snippy rap numbers, and Inej is a largely silent dancer who scales the whole stage and makes it look gores but has the really insane musical numbers when it comes down to it. <br />And Kaz has an endless assortment of badass raps. <br />I would watch the hell out of that.

Oh, and then there is A Very Potter Musical. <br /><br />I would love to see an Uprooted broadway version would be cool how they would do the effects on that one. I also think another good one might be Carry On there was just something musical-ly about that one. Also, I would love something like the Lunar Chronicles to be turned into a musical if possible. I know five very long books, but I'd love to see a production that would mesh the sci-fi elements of the Lunar Chronicles world with the whimsy of fairytale musicals-I'm thinking back to some of the DIsney stage adaptions, fyi my favorite show of all time Beauty and the Beast. I think it could be a fun production (though no idea how they would have to adapt it because again five very long books).

I think Simon vs. would be such a cute musical, and I love your ideas for song titles so much! It seems Lin Miranda is a musical God, so he would make Simon vs the best musical ever. I love the idea of TATBILB being a musical too. Lara Jean has such a distinctive narrative voice, so her singing all her letters would be perfect <3<br /><br />Denise | <a href="www.thebibliolater.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Bibliolater</a>Dulcie @ Riot Grrrl Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592564973574638773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-76470874710580758482016-04-22T13:45:08.001-04:002016-04-22T13:45:08.001-04:00I would honestly just go and watch ALL OF THESE.
