Brokeback! The Musical!
« on: Feb 11, 2006, 11:52 AM »
Ok, ya'll know what what'll come down the pike.... maybe not next year or the following, but you know it might happen.  I hope they do right by it. I hope they don't do the musical anytime soon, though.  What do you guys think?

Do you mean another version ? With people other than Jake and Heath ? Different accents ? A different soundtrack ? I'll stick with the original, thanks.  :D :D :D :D

Yes, I hope they leave this one alone!  I have never seen a big staged musical and can't imagine BBM done right as a musical.  But I have been surprised before.

I can't even being to imagine how cheesy a musical of this would be. The only reason it would even be attempted is because people lack creative ability to come up with something new. It's much easier to "steal" an idea.

That's only too true. When I talk to friends who haven't seen BBM I tell them it is a first-time-in-history event.

Annie Proulx is a true American Original. She has no 'need' to beg, borrow or steal from anyone else. That why her stories are true, iconic, and refreshing!

Really can't imaging Ennis singing, he already has problem of speaking (accent/murmuring words in his mouth), how can we expect him to "sing" ?? ???
A BBM 2 is a better idea than a musical ;)

BBM 2 how would this work? Would it be a kind of Dallas thing where everyone wakes up and Jack dying was just a dream? Nice idea, a happy ending, no more reason to cry...here i go again... :'(

Well, I have never been to a big Broadway production, but heard that "Phantom' and "Wicked" and well, lots of muscials can be adapted... of course the music would have to be awsome.
I just don't want anyone to wreck BMM.
