We asked you Theatre Nerds what what movies you think should be made into Broadway musicals. After receiving over 400 responses, there were some clear winners. Providing a full disclaimer, some of these shows have been made (or attempted) into musicals, but have either flopped or not made it to the Broadway stage.
Two of the top voted movies also have upcoming productions so we left them off the list. These two were: Mean Girls & Back To The Future. Some of our favorites that didn’t quite make the list: Godfather (a parody version) & Jurassic Park!
