So..I used to love the books. Now they're just okay. The movies are even worse....A musical? WOW....still...I'd go. And don't say you wouldn't!

I've skimmed through the libretto, and it's not the best... eh, it's not very good at all. | ||||

I made a joke reference about this awhile back in the Batman The musical thread (I think it was that thread) and now I find out it's true, I can't believe it. I love the books and the movies are good but this is going too far, still I already know it will make a lot of money (like Ms. Rowling really needs more money ) Kids will flock to see this like they will for that awful High School Musical garbage even if it is bad.

I love HP. But a musical? No. Just no. | ||||

Anyone know who the producers are for this?
I know this may be super sad, but I want to audition for Harry. 
|
||||
| sopranodespair |
LOL. I would audition too. Wonder which characters would be sopranos? |
||||
| wicked_boy |
I'm serious. I'm a Potter fan and want to originate the role!
Someone, please let me know who the producers are you find out. sopranodespair, we'll originate the roles of Harry and Hermione. |

Well...it sounds better than Shrek: The Musical.
Who knows, this -could- work. I guess we'll have to wait and see. |

This could be interesting. I could see a prologue thing with Lily and James going on....Bellatrix Lestrange would have to be featured in some fashion, so I could play her.

Maybe not. I don't think they'll ever musicalize anything more than the first book. If they're going to do all seven books, the only way to do it IMO is seven separate musicals. Granted, that's what I hope they WILL do, but I won't get my hopes up for it. BTW, is anyone interested in starting one of those "cast a show with forum people" threads for Harry Potter? There are so many characters in the HP universe that I bet we could keep going for a while. |

As bad as this will probably be, I want to play Luna.
Where did you find the libretto? Or are you thinking of that H.M.S. Dumbledore thing that someone posted here once? |

If worked properly HP The Musical could be absolutely amazing...
I said that about LOTR, and it seemed only just to have the "spectacular". But HP has so much "meat" for an amazing score, effects, plotline, casting. |

HMS Dumbledore is considered the top musical parody of Harry Potter. However, a straight-up treatment is being planned, but has not been written yet. | ||||

Ohhhh I would die to be in this.
Even if it wasn't that great. I would love to be Hermione. Or any random slytherin.

Thats hysterical.
I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or giggle with ecstatic joy! Whether it was good or not, I think I'd go see it. Come on, who WOULDN'T want to see "live quidditch and big showdowns with Voldemort"? I'd be there. I'd audition for it too...only I'm not british. You think they'd count that against me? Lol |

*Raises hand* Ginny Weasley?
Those of you who know what I look like, back me up here

^That's ingenious.
I'll be... Cho Chang's brother. |

if we ever do a forum cast this role has to be yours. |

I've got the looks for Draco. 
|

| metaphor17 |
You do!
|

| ConverseSneaker |
Well, if we are doing this based on looks then I am Hermione. Don't even try to challenge me on this for I will win

Well, since other musicals based on famous children's novels, like The Secret Garden, Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, and Willy Wonka have all been so ROTTEN... 
Give it a chance. If they have the right composer and lyricist, and take the right tack for adapting it (do NOT try to squeeze all the books together--concentrate on making the best possible musical Sorcerer's Stone and go from there!) this could go places. (And speaking of The Secret Garden and Harry Potter--after I read the first book in '99, I thought of the song "Lily's Eyes"...and from that moment, I called it on Snape being in love with Lily!) |

| ConverseSneaker |
The Secret Garden? Rotten? I think not! I find it to be one of more brilliant shows in the last twenty years or so. Pure brilliance it is. | ||||

No, no, I was mocking the logic of those who immediately assume that the HP musical will be lousy, by using examples of other musicals based on kids' fantasy that HAVE succeeded. | ||||

Looks and personality, I think! We should start a whatsit on it. |
