Here's a question: Name a book or movie that hasn't been turned into a stage production (musical or not) that you think could be successfully transferred to live theater. This is inspired by the announcement that there will be stage production of a story based in the world of Westeros from Game of Thrones. My understanding is that it will not be an adaptation of anything in the books published so far, but a sort of prequel.
A couple of my thoughts: The Phantom Tollbooth; Beverly Cleary's Ramona books (pick a series of incidents from them and build a plot); Great Expectations; Scaramouche (the film version features the longest duel in movies--imagine that on stage).
Any ideas?
