Me too! That would be so awesome to see Al's work somehow be adapted into a stage show. "UHF: The Musical," anyone?

I'm with you!!!!TMBJon wrote:Please no! What a waste it would be if Al got to do a Broadway show and all he did was have some professional singers cover his songs! I would be so much more excited for a brand new project based on an original idea.
Yeah, I would not want it to be a jukebox musical (as fun as some of those can be - I personally really enjoyed We Will Rock You), or anything based on UHF. That would just be retreading old ground. Something new and different would be much more exciting!TMBJon wrote:Please no!

Maybe the idea he was using for Cartoon Network... could go to Disney?tomatochives wrote:He's been doing a lot of voiceover work for Disney lately...
What if that opened the door to a feature film idea??
Come to think of it, the "answer to everything/drivers test" lyric from JPE sounds like something that Al could've written for that movie and later "cannibalized" for that song. If the protagonist in the film was a teenager like Al said, it would make sense for them to be preparing to get their license.Sappho wrote:Wasn't that script basically dismantled and cannibalized for jokes to use in other stuff? Though I'm sure he'd easily be able to come up with something new if required.
