Here’s a little something to tide you over until the year 2040 when Hamilton eventually closes on Broadway and they can finally make movie version of it starring Psalm West as Hamilton, Bible Bieber-Bladwin as Aaron Burr, and in a surprisingly witty piece of stunt casting, Archie Mountbatten Windsor as King George. It’s In The Heights aka Bodega: The Musical!

Open Post: Hosted By A Clip Of The Song For “Cats That Taylor Swift Wrote With Andrew Lloyd Webber

October 25, 2019 / Posted by:

Taylor Swift‘s wet dream is officially complete. As you know, Taylor was cast to be one of those demonic looking entities which are apparently cats in the Cats movie which is coming out at Christmastime. Not only did Taylor get to play a cat (her favorite animal) in a musical (she’s a singer, hello?!) but she also got to write an original song for it with Patti LuPone’s favorite person. Taylor Swift creating an original song for the movie Cats where she plays a cat?! The only way this could get better would be if those demonic cats were all being served Scooter Braun‘s head in their food dish!

Grab your nearest box of tissues (or extra long sleeves should you be out of tissues), because the snot-crying is inevitably set to start up again. It’s been announced that the Color Purple movie musical adaptation is a sure thing. No, not the musical biopic of Prince‘s life post Purple Rain. The OTHER purple masterpiece that was a Tony award winning musical based on an Oscar nominated movie based on the Pulitzer Prize winning book. Are you still following?

May 18, 2018 / Posted by:

Despite Russell Crowe’s worst efforts, the movie musical is not dead. It’s actually doing quite well, thanks in no small part, to Lin-Manuel Miranda and Hamilton becoming the talk of the town. According to The Hollywood Reporter, In The Heights, Lin’s first big smash hit and Tony winning juggernaut, is finally on track to get a big screen adaptation after sitting in limbo because of everybody’s least favorite guy, Harvey Fucking Weinstein.

A “Jagged Little Pill” Musical Will Happen In 2018

The Hollywood Reporter says that Jagged Little Pill the musical (which totally sounds like a joke from The Critic) will have its world premiere at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, MA in May 2018. It’s been in the works since 2013.  It will feature songs from Jagged Little Pill as well as melodies lifted from Alanis’ other albums. The book was written by Diablo Cody, and it will be directed by Diane Paulus. THR says it will be a multi-generational family story that touches on “issues of gender identity and race,” and Alanis said this:

“This team that has come together for this Jagged Little Pill musical is my musical theater dream come true. The chemistry between all of us is crackling and I feel honored to be diving into these songs again, surrounded by all of this searing talent. Diablo and Diane are already taking these deeply personal songs that are part of my soul’s marrow to a whole other level of hope, freedom and complexity.”

They hope to take Jagged Little Pill to Broadway, but that sort of depends on how well it does in Cambridge first.

I’m really bummed the story won’t be based off the subject matter of Jagged Little Pill and all its scandalous Dave Coulier lore. And can you even really call it a Jagged Little Pill musical if Act 1 doesn’t end with all four Alanises from the Ironic video belting it out in the rain in front of a kick line of dancers dressed as flies, cigarettes, lottery tickets, and spoons?
