Maybe we can do the same thing to something from Charles Dickens.
Edwin Drood is currently on B’way. A musical adaptation of the Dickens novel or short story (I haven’t read it). There are probably others.
RE: Maybe we can do the same thing to something from Charles Dickens.
They’ve done musicals of A CHRISTMAS CAROL already.
Maybe you have A TALE OF TWO CITIES in mind?
As for Victor Hugo, I’d like to see a Broadway musical of his other novel, THE MAN WHO LAUGHS. Whoever plays the deformed character, Gwynplaine, if done properly and right pathos, would be fantastic.
Please, sir. May I have some more?
