If West End found a place for Viva Forever!, then why can't Broadway handle Britney? It's a musical with her songs tho.

How lovely.
And just to be true to the source material I demand they cast a lead actress who can't sing the songs either.

Hmmm... My fondness for American Idiot and We Will Rock You is telling me that I shouldn't judge this before I know more, but hers is not a back catalogue which I'd personally mine for jukebox musical material.
This reminds we actually, when I was 12 I wrote the book for a pretty great (if I do say so myself) Avril Lavigne jukebox musical. I wish I still had it tbh! 😂

I wouldn't mind a show that centres around Britney's Blackout album, that was definitely her creative peak. (Or her songwriters). |

A lot of Brit's back catalogue is centred around promiscuity and basically, low morals. I'm not sure how well her material will translate into a woven story where an audience cares about the character singing "Oops, I did it again... I played with your heart..." etc "One, two, three, Peter, Paul & Mary... I'm caught in between..." and so on.

Grease Rocky Horror Show Book of Mormon West Side Story are just some of the shows with 'low morals' and people dig them. Stop being so Daily Mail  |

Modern musicals tend to look for more from their storylines than vapid loose morals and characters singing "I'm a slave for you..." at one another. |

Fun Home has a lesbian hero. Billy Elliott has a homosexual kiss between children. I mean if gonna be moralistic about women sleeping around might as well chuck in homosexuality as well, that's a bloody SIN!

I was just proving them wrong You've completely chosen to come for me, which I really don't understand why. I'm not trying to bad mouth Britney - I love her music, but it doesn't instantly tell a story to me outside of loving sex and not giving a f***. I'm not saying it won't work, I'm only suggesting that it will be interesting to see how they write it. Now, leave... Britney... alone... 😩 |

U just said audiences wouldn't be interested in a story with her 'morals' Andi was pointing out very successful musicals that also have 'questionable morals' but that an audience loves. Sorry if u think I'm attacking you, I'm not |
