Titanic Musical based of '97 FilmI know this isn't based off of the film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, but I think one based off of that version would be good. (THIS IS NO JOKE). Perhaps, to reduce confusion it could be called "My Heart Will Go On". The only reason why I post this is because I saw the movie again last night and totally saw areas where I could imagine the characters breaking into character.

I think it has potential, if handled right. It would be tough, and would meet with tons of criticism, but I think there's real potential there.

Some people would injoy it just because of the movie...it certainly has potencial...however, i personally hate the film. I think a musical based upon it would be absolute crap...largely because of the risque situations that occur throughout it. I think that all of that is too much of the movie's point and that all of that stuff wold not transfer well onto the stage.

The yeston Titanic musical is great. why adapt inferior film whgen we already have a great musical based on the true players in the Titanic tragedy.

its a good idea, but I dont think that anyone could come close to Celine, and the audience would keep grumbling things like "Celine was sooo much better" and stuff like that. The expectations for an amazing song that everybody knows like "My Heart Will Go On" are way too high

I guess because there's nothing new going on with it? And it's pretty hard to do as a high school show.

True, but I think it's quite popular among Amateur Operatics (I dunno what American's call them.)

I know, I had to force my mom to take me to a show before because she thought it was an opera version of the show.
She's not very "artsy".

I actually prefer not to call it amateur theatre. The word "amateur" just seems to bear an insulting tone to it. Instead, my friends and I prefer to call it community theatre
