This is the brainstorming thread for

DISNEY presents THE JUNGLE BOOK:
THE BROADWAY MUSICAL

Well, if you have any ideas, feel free to post them! And, for those of you interested in the upcoming musical based on DUMBO, I'll be posting a brainstorming thread for that soon! See ya!

not to sound like a downer but dumbo wouldn't be embraced one cause walt didn't care much for dumbo cause his heart wasn't knee deep into, and because it was only an hour long

Well, Jaalin, I'll let you know that Dumbo is really, truly going to be a Broadway musical someday. Just look at this quote from Wikipedia:

In March 2011, Gordon Cox of Variety officially announced that Disney will produce "Dumbo" which “will see Michael Chabon penning the book for the "Billy Elliot" duo of director Stephen Daldry and choreographer Peter Darling. Bob Crowley ("Aida," "Mary Poppins") designs.”

Well I hope it can keep people's attention, Dumbo was one of the shortest disney films ever, I hope the story is more extended and has more songs, maybe even dumbo can talk

Well, if you wanna see some ideas for Dumbo on Broadway, you'll have to wait till the thread for the DUMBO musical is up.
