Guest Adarsh Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 So I just recalled that the cast of The Sound of Music paid tribute to Lady Gaga after her breathtaking medley at the Oscars. This makes me wonder what would a Gaga musical be like? You know with all her songs just like Mamma Mia used ABBA songs. Would you be here for it? Personally I think it would be amazing since she has such a diverse discography and her music would translate really well into broadway standards.   Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Something like Lazarus by David Bowie ! At the end of her life / carrer which I hope is a very long time from now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolkins 3,842 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think a musical based on one album would be fun, like The Fame or BTW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkmanthaC 105,677 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Okay that video was amazing. I loved the mashup of The Sound of Music songs with Gaga songs.  I love the idea of a Gaga musical overall. There's got to be a playwright somewhere on this site. she/her/hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesmer92 92 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It sounds great in theory but in practice, I don't think it would be that great. For example, The Cher Show was downright awful (in my opinion). I'm not sure why but I think it's mainly because they re-created the songs to sound more theatrical instead of using their original compositions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock 20,290 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Jukebox musicals almost always end up being panned messes on Broadway and they don't have a great reputation so unless it would be something really special like based on a concept (like GOAT or Chromatica) I'm not sure it would work.. thought I'd love it if Gaga would write her own musical one day whew who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Gaga’s music, I’m so here for the theatrics. It’s what draws me to her in the first place. So I’m here for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t that well received and the production didn’t even last the entire season. I loved it because it was campy and insane. But yeah it wasn’t that great i feel like on Broadway, the community can still see the value in flops or shows that aren’t that good overall and still award them, regardless of the reviews. but yeah, jukebox musicals and movie adaptations are kind of not respected and are seen “tourist traps” for the most part who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
