Nine Albums That Need To Be Musicals

Have you ever listened to an album and thought, "Damn this should be a musical!"... Well I have!

Dec 11, 2016

Have you ever listened to an album by your favorite artist and though, "Hmm, this would be an amazing musical!" No? Well I have and here are my top choices for albums that need to be made into musicals.

1. 25 by Adele

Adele is a beautiful soul and each of her songs has such a deep meaning that is necessary for a musical. If I were to decide how this one would go I would have it be an older woman looking back on all of her past loves and each song or two is associated with one past love.

2. Lemonade by Beyoncé

Beyoncé is just a pure boss and I feel like any musical incorporating her music would be good no matter what the plot line.

3. 'Electra Heart by Marina and the Diamonds

This musical would be upbeat and electric feeling. The biggest song of the show would be "How to be a Heartbreaker", where the main character will be taught how to trick the guy who has been ignoring her her whole life. How the rest of the show would go, I have no clue.

4. Know-It-All by Alessia Cara

This show would almost be a "Rent" of our generation, even though "Rent" is the "Rent" of our generation. But I digress. Alessia's music has such a powerful message behind so many of her songs that a musical using her songs would probably need just as powerful of a message.

5. One of the Boys by Katy Perry

I just really love Katy Perry and I think a musical based off of this album and a mixture of her others would be amazing and fun and free-wheeling and just pure awesomeness.

6. Badlands by Halsey

This show would be the story of four different peoples lives, two men and two women. They would tell their stories through word and song while other actors act out the scenes, almost like a narrator standing to the side of the stage.

7. Death of a Bachelor by Panic! at the Disco

Brendon Urie has always said he is theatrical in his music writing and I think if he worked hard enough he could write a badass musical that is nothing like you have ever seen before.

8. The Boy Who Knew Too Much by MIKA

MIKA has such theatrical music that to make a musical out of his album(s) would be stupid. He has such upbeat and happy music with just the right amount of slow music that a musical based off of his work would be spectacular.

9. Hello My Name Is... by Bridgit Mendler

The plot of this musical would be about a couple (gender and sexuality not important) and how their relationship flourished over four seasons different seasons within one year.

Do you have any albums you would want to see be turned into a musical or think could make a good musical? Let me know!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
