Ratings were strong for Sound of Music, so they are doing another one next year. Yay! I thought Carrie was terrible but I enjoyed the medium a lot and hoped they would continue with live musicals on TV. 

What musical would you like to see them do? 

My vote would be for My Fair Lady. I loooooooooved that one.

[Kristinmo]

I would love to see them do Wicked. I hope they use Broadway people this time.

[karmasabiotch]

Mama Mia

[goaskalice]

They better use Broadway stars this time. I love the concept though.

[underwaterrhymes]

Book of Mormon.

But that will never happen.

[W.T.Faulkner]

2 Chainz as Sweeney Todd!

OMG! I LOVE the King and I!!!!

You don't love it?! Maybe you just need to get to know it.  Get to know all about it.  Then perhaps you'll find that it is precisely your cup of tea.

It is soo boring!

Kev, SHUT UP.  lol I'm dying over here.    Nothing cracks me up like a little bit of musical theater humor.


....The King and I still sucks, though.  So does My Fair Lady.  WTF, guys?  We need a televised, live West Side Story up in here.

I want watch another one unless they pluck people from Broadway. And I'll shit a brick if they get Anne Hathaway to lead.

Yes! With the original cast, please

[Jalapeñomel]

Keep in mind that they are throwing Hollywood stars in Broadway musicals now, which is a sad state of affairs.

This would be horrible as a televised event.  Half of that show is its production, and that would be lost completely in a televised event.

[luckyval]

Miss Saigon is what I'd truly like to see done, but it's too racy.

I like the idea of Hello Dolly! or My Fair Lady.

Maybe. I love it in any format with Idina and Kristen though. They could roll around in mud and stand there and I would be thrilled.

Phantom of the Opera or Miss Saigon or West Side Story.

yesterday, or maybe the day before, I yelled, "A PROMISE IS A PROMISE! A PROMISE!" at h because his head was higher than mine. and he GOT IT. BECAUSE I WATCH IT ALL THE TIME.

you guys are making me sad.

[gault]

Music Man would be pretty good live.

Well, the rights holders probably won't license anything that's on Broadway currently or has a successful national tour happening (Wicked, Mamma Mia, etc.) So an old school musical is probably the best bet.

My Fair Lady with Sutton Foster would be fun. They can cast a big star as Higgins since he doesn't really have to be able to sing.

True Story.

We did My Fair Lady when I was 14ish.  The senior who played Higgins could not sing at all.  Tone-deaf.  But he was an amazing actor and could speak-sing the whole thing and it was really the best-matched part for him that ever could be in all the land.
