It’s been rumoured for awhile that Mel Brooks’ hilarious homage to Universal horror movies would be next in line for a musical adaptation. I think it might be an even better fit than The Producers. Apparently they’ve just finished the first draft of the script, and Brooks has made some interesting casting suggestions.

The Post also said that Brooks wants Cloris Leachman to re-create the role of horse-frightening Frau Blucher. A Brooks movie veteran, she played the part in the movie.

I’ve never attended musical theatre. Any shows which I found even remotely interesting always seemed to be watered down for the widest possible appeal. Hopefully this will be the one to take my musical virginity.
