They should remake the big depression era musicals and Cecil B. Demille's movies. At least it would give jobs to a lot of extras.

Gold Diggers of 1933 - “We’re in the Money”

Hairspray made huge money.

Broadway took the John Waters story and made it mainstream, then added music.
Adam Shankman happied it up to the 12th power and BOOM successful musical.

I think that there actually is a market for big happy musicals when people are depressed.
