This movie would be perfect for a theatric(sp) production, I would definitely go and see it, it could be the next big thing since Lion King and Hairspray.

i agree! the music would be awesome... the only thing i don't know how they would pull off would be how to make all of the animals without it looking like some odd mixture of the musicals CATS and The Lion King...

Yeah it would definitely require some time to sit down and plan it out but with the proper planning and setup it could work!

I have always thought it should be a stage musical. It would probably need a few more songs, though, and definitely a few scenes would be altered to make it more adaptable to the stage. But it would be awesome! If that came true, I'm sure as many actresses would want to play Sawyer as actresses now want to play Elphaba in "Wicked" or Tracy in "Hairspray".

Yeah I agree with u Tonyboy88, it definitely could be done but it also needs good promotion.
