5 Disney plays we'd like to see on Broadway

Posted on 17:00 by john mical
A few weeks ago we mentioned that Aladdin the musical will be coming to Broadway in 2014.

This will be the ninth Disney play to go to Broadway, following "Aida," "Beauty and the Beast," "The Lion King," "The Little Mermaid," "Mary Poppins," "Newsies," "Peter and the Starcatcher" and "Tarzan."

But what could be next? What Disney tale would you like to see on stage? Here's a look at five ideas Disney could bring to the Great White Way:

Mickey - A One Mouse Show: Mickey Mouse tells the story of his life, from what it was like to be Oswald the Rabbit's understudy to becoming one of the most recognizable corporate symbols in the world. He talks about his love for Minnie and why they still live in separate houses after all these years, his frustration over his international fame and how that has limited his movie career and his deepsest darkest addiction -- Dole Whip.

Topsy Turvy from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
The Hunchback of Notre Dame: A foreign-language version of this production ran from 1999 to 2002 in Berlin and received rave reviews. The music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz already sound as if they belong on Broadway. And imagine: the Hunchback swinging above the audience and the theater transformed into a carnival atmosphere for Topsy Turvy Day.

The Jungle Book: This has what might be one of the best jazz music soundtracks around. "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You" would get everyone in the audience moving.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks: This 1971 musical film tells the tale of three siblings during the 1940 London Blitz. They are evacuated to a small village and placed in the care of a woman who turns out to be an apprentice witch. In exchange for their silence, the woman casts a spell on a bedknob that allows the children to travel anywhere on the bed. Think Mary Poppins meets Peter Pan.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: This hard-core psychological drama takes place inside a submarine. Captain Nemo takes aboard three castaways who get caught up in the captain's obsession to command the seas. The fight with the giant squid, tentacles dangling over stage, would rock the audience.
