Of course Lion King is #1. Circle of Life is one of the most perfect numbers ever put on stage. These are all good, though it may need an update in the near future. Apparently, Some Like it Hot is fantastic on Broadway right now. Picking a random movie is hard, but if I had to pick the next Disney animated film to get a production (besides Hercules - which has already had a few productions but not come to Broadway yet) I might have to pick Encanto. Miranda could easily expand the score and I can just imagine the Disney stage team figuring out how to do the magic and the house being alive. The only one that would be really tricky is Camilo and his shapeshifting. Having seen Harry Potter and the Curse Child, the rest of it is totally doable.

Not a movie, but there is a book called The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells. Its about a woman whose brother dies of AIDS in the 1980s. She becomes depressed and goes to counseling. The counselor does something that causes her to jump back and forth through time into the 1910s after WWI, and the 1940s during WWII, and back to the 80s. It would make a perfect musical using music from the different time periods

It still amazes me how well Beetlejuice works as a musical, It gives the characters so much more depth, and I'd argue Alex Brightman has become even more iconic as Beetlejuice than Micheal Keaton. And now to end this comment before I say Beetlejuice a third. Oh no.

This might be a strange choice. But honestly, I want a TRANSFORMERS musical to happen. Whether it could be an adaptation of any continuity (like G1, the films, or Transformers: Prime, or an entirely NEW CONTINUITY, I'm SO UP FOR IT. :)

Sorry but without The Producers high in the ranking this list is garbage. The record breaking 11 Tony Awards winning musical should be at least second. Original movie won an Oscar for Best Screenplay.

Why does Lion King have to be number one all the time when it comes to lists like this? And why does that overrated abomination that is Frozen have to be on lists like this all the time as well?

Filmmakers, please also do this the other way round - turn musicals into regular films - so that we can enjoy the story without being interrupted several times by incongruous song & dance routines.

It might not have won an Oscar but I'd love to see Barbie as the princess and the pauper turned into a musical. It's a really good movie and it has the potential to be a great musical.

The Greatest Showman would be amazing as a stage musical adaptation, with all the acrobats and performers and they could do puppets similar to Lion King for all the animals.

The fact that the classic film Sunset Boulevard is on here but was beaten by Moulin Rouge and The Lion King is a crime against humanity. Billy Wilder would be furious.

I got to see the Lion King on stage last month and it did not disappoint. The entire production was AMAZING and deserves the number one spot on this list.

64: Obvious and The Lion King has been number one, a lot. I just love the opening, even on Broadway. I saw the musical in New York on my 12th birthday

No honorable mentions? Hmm.
The Pdoducers (Best Original Screenplay)
Zorba the Greek (Best Supporting Actress)
I'm sure there are others.

One thing I love about the original Broadway cast of Beauty and the Beast is that Belle is played by Susan Egan who also played Megara in Hercules

I really didn't care for once; I fell asleep for half of it. I thought it was kind of boring. Plus, I saw it with my ex, should have known. lol

Since Pixars Coco is going to be on Broadway soon, Is it Possible for either Brave or Inside Out to be adapted as broadway musicals?

You have to exclude films that already were a musical.
Like its too obvious to see Moulin Rouge and Lion king in the top 2
