14 Disney Movies That Should Be Broadway Musicals

Some of the events that take place in Disney animated movies you could never imagine happening in real life. But, with Disney theatricals in the past few decades, we have seen household objects come to life in Beauty and the Beast, gone to the African safari with The Lion King and under the sea with The Little Mermaid, and have even seen people fly in Mary Poppins and Aladdin. While Broadway has brought to life many great Disney movies, there are still dozens of classics that have not graced the Great White Way. Here are 14 Disney movies that I believe should be turned into Broadway musicals in the next several years.

1. Hercules

The Muses would completely steal the show, and you'd get to see a hunky Broadway star walking around in a tunic. Plus, can't you just imagine a hilarious number between Hades and Pain and Panic?

2. Mulan

Who wouldn't want to see "I'll Make a Man Out of You" performed live while Mulan climbs a pole right in front of your eyes?

3. Wreck-It Ralph

I'm imagining a life-size Sugar Rush game and the stage completely decorated in sweets, and I have to say--I really, really like it.

4. 101 Dalmatians

The dogs might be a bit of a challenge, but c'mon. Cruella de Vil in person would be a treat to see!

5. The Princess and the Frog

One of my favorite Disney movies, I would love to see how they make the transition from humans to frogs and back again. Plus, you know "Dig a Little Deeper" would bring down the house.

6. Big Hero 6

I think I might spontaneously combust if I saw Baymax doing any sort of big dance number and singing in his robotic voice.

7. Tangled

Alright, alright, so there is technically a Tangled show aboard the Disney Magic cruise ship, but I would kill to see the lantern scene recreated in a Broadway theater.

8. The Aristocats

Maybe not one everyone thinks of right away, but a rousing dance number to "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat" would leave the audience on their feet for sure!

9. Alice in Wonderland


Wonderland would be so gorgeous, and characters such as the Mad Hatter, Caterpillar and the Queen of Hearts would be such fun roles to see come to life!

10. The Goofy Movie


One word: Powerline.

11. Pocahontas


Another one of my favorites, and I think that seeing the setting come to life would be amazing. Plus, a beautiful song by Grandmother Willow would make me sob.

12. Enchanted


Now that Mary Poppins has proven there is a way to make the transition from animation to live-action in a movie graceful onstage, I am anxious to see how Enchanted would handle it!

13. Lilo and Stitch


I am curious to see how both Stitch and surfing would be brought to life in a theater, and you know all that Elvis music would be a rousing good time!

14. The Emperor's New Groove


I want Kronk to have his own song, and I want him to sing about the poison chosen specially to kill Kuzco, his spinach puffs, and how much he loves being able to speak squirrel.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
