Young Guns: The Musical

So I was driving to work the other day and heard a commercial for a musical coming through Baltimore: Lerner & Lowe's Camelot. And then they announced that it was starring...
Lou frickin' Diamond Phillips

Stage and film star, LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS will wear the crown in this magnificent new production of Lerner and Loewe’s timeless masterpiece. Tony nominated for his Broadway performance in the KING AND I, Phillips takes on the role of King Arthur. The enchanted kingdom of CAMELOT, is a place where honor and chivalry reign. But can this idyllic land survive when Queen Guenevere falls in love with Sir Lancelot? The splendid, memorable score includes the romantic and haunting “If Ever I Would Leave You,” the captivating “How to Handle a Woman” and the majestic “Camelot.” Re-discover the grandeur of one of history’s greatest love stories.

I'm speechless. They played a clip of some song of him singing and I almost veered off the road.

First they bring back Molly Ringwald in Sweet Charity... now this? Who else is going to star in a traveling musical? Here are my suggestions (because I would so pay to see these guys):
Anthony Michael Hall


Andrew McCarthy


Michael Scheoffling I would soooooo see anything this guy is in! OMG JAKE RYAN!


And my suggestions for kick-ass musicals:
- Young Guns (seriously... it would be even better if they could bring back everyone from the original movie)
- Sixteen Candles
- Pretty in Pink
- The Breakfast Club
are you seeing a trend here?

What would you pay to see?

Everything I like is already a musical - Spamalot, Grease, Popeye... I don't suppose A Few Good Men would make a good musical. How about the Jungle Book? The King Louis part would be great.

Death Wish 3, the musical. Featuring Tom Sizemore as The Giggler.

Say Anything would be awesome. My husband would wet himself over a Karate Kid or Ghostbusters musical.
