Okay, so first of all, I'm obsessed with this movie. I think it's fantastic.

A while back I read something about Adam Guettel doing the score for a musical version of The Princess Bride. I think a musicalized version would be excellent, especially in Guettel's hands.

So, has anyone else heard anything? And/or, thoughts on Princess Bride as a stage show?

It died in Seattle. Unless they change their minds, they've given up on it.

Jeff Leibow was in one of the workshops. (I assume before Seattle.)

That's all true, plus critics who saw it did not like it and apparently word of mouth was not good either. Guettel has pulled it and said he's not likely to try and revise it.

Oh no! I loooove this movie, and I'm worried that a musicalized version would be disappointing! It's such a perfect movie, it would have to be EXTRA perfect to be a musical!!
