My two biggest passions are Disney and Broadway. So naturally, Disney On Broadway is my dream come true. On Broadway, I’ve seen Aladdin twice, Beauty and the Beast twice, Mary Poppins twice, Newsies twice and once on their North American Tour as well. Disney has had many successful shows on Broadway, but there are even more Disney movies that deserve more credit. Here are 6 Disney movies that I believe deserve a stage adaptation.

1. Tangled

Everytime I watch Tangled, I wonder why Disney has yet to jump on the opportunity to make this into a Broadway show. Can you just imagine, when the lantern scene comes and they have the lanterns floating over the audience?

2. Mulan

Okay, who would not want to see “I’ll Make A Man Out Of You” live on stage? And all the action scenes would be an amazing opportunity for some kick-ass choreography.

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas

The costume design for this adaption would definitely be a challenge, but it just offers more creative opportunities. The costumes would be creepy, yet fun, which would definitely fit the movie perfectly. Danny Elfman’s music for the movie is just screaming to be put on Broadway.

4. The Hunchback of Notre Dame

There have been a few regional productions of Hunchback, but a lot darker than the Disney movie we all know and love. There was a cast recording of one production of Hunchback from a regional production, but still no Broadway transfer. I highly suggest giving the soundtrack a listen.

5. Hercules

Hercules has always been one of my favorite Disney movies. I love Greek mythology so it’s so much fun to see how Disney has adapted a greek myth into one of their movies. The music in this movie is so moving and emotional. “Go The Distance’” never fails to get me a little teary eyed. I would love to be able to see how Disney would adapt these incredible songs into a stage version.

6. Enchanted

“That’s How You Know” is practically begging to be a big Broadway, show stopper number. It would be so cool to even see Broadway veteran, Idina Menzel, reprise her role as Nancy on Broadway, even give her her own solo song.
