i meant that, since it's fashionable now to adapt movies, they will eventually arrive at adapting triumph of the will once they do schindler's list and dead man walking.

sondheim's Assassins is great, westside story is great. I recently saw spamalot which was fantastic, who would have thought a monty python musical. I much prefer opera to musicals though.

Will High Fidelity be adapted for Broadway as a musical?

sorry to tell you but dead man walking has been done in opera form, about 5 years ago it was done, and it is surprisinly good.

perhaps have a look at the link that ripchord posted gmku

It already was. It opened over a year ago. Closed after two weeks, in the shadow of a more successful rock musical that opened only three days after HF did.

Damn! I missed it.

I have to admit, I identified with him massively when I watched it.

However, at the time, I was living in the indie snob capitol of the planet and making my living as a dj, completely obsessed with my on-again-off-again lover/ex who in retrospect was a manipulative bitch, and absolutely convinced that superior music knowledge equalled superiority. And I was over 30 too, which is essential for it all to fit. What the movie really is, is kind of a spiritual sequel to Slacker, which I also completely identified with in my twenties.

While I still enjoy both movies as very entertaining representations of some actual types of people I've known well, I think I've pretty well thrown off the shackles of both now. I do still make fun of my wife when she listens to the Cure though...

yeah but they sounded different, jack black kept talking to him about them blowing the roof off or whatever
