Coffee Shop: Which album would make a good musical?

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 10/11/09 @ 7:00 AM - altpress.com

The stage version of Green Day's American Idiot is in the middle of a trial run in the band's stomping grounds of East Bay, California. Considering that the source material for the show (the album) is a narrative with distinct characters, it lends itself pretty easily to a Broadway-style interpretation. But we're wondering: Which other albums would make a good musical?How come? Let us know below!

"Trainwreck" by Boys Night Out...One of the better concept albums out there!

Future of the Left's "Travels With Myself and Another" would make an interesting, twisted musical.

i'm fairly certain any of THE DEAR HUNTER's albums would make a pretty sick musical.

A Shipwreck In The Sand-Silverstein. why? it tells a story.

mcrmy09 Posted 10.11.09 at 06:40PM
The Black Parade. Duh.

I've always wanted to see a musical version of "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge", since it's a concept album with a legit story. Or even "The Black Parade". Both are just such theatrical albums. Also, AFI's "Sing The Sorrow" would be an amazing musical. I know it's not a concept album, but it's just something I would really like to see brought to life.

*Senses Fail "Still Searching" or "Life Is Not A Waiting Room" *A Skylit Drive "Adelphia" *Funeral For A Friend "Tales Don't Tell Themselves" *My Chemical Romance "The Black Parade" *Any Of Coheed and Cambria's records *

Panic At The Disco- A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. I wrote a play for it in high school and it would have won if it weren't for copyrights lol

I am totally going with A Shipwreck In The Sand by Silverstein

It's already a musical but razia's shadow

heycristina Posted 10.11.09 at 10:36PM
either "the black parade", "three cheers for sweet revenge", or "masterpiece theatre". they're amazing concept albums.

alliewaffles Posted 10.11.09 at 11:01PM
Family Force 5's DANCE OR DIE. it'd be the greatest thing ever.

Aarohead Posted 10.12.09 at 12:28AM
+1 for Razia's Shadow

Blackop0189 Posted 10.12.09 at 01:33AM
I think Mae's The Everglow would make a good musical. So would Armor For Sleep's What To Do When You're Dead.

cschiefer Posted 10.12.09 at 08:20AM
The Receiving End of Sirens - The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi would be cool.

AlisonXcore Posted 10.12.09 at 10:08AM
i agree with Razias shadow and p!atd

...Is a Real Boy

Seeing the intro to The Downfall of us All by A Day to Remember as a musial would be badass. As a matter of fact, the entire Homesick cd would be swee.

Vyces Posted 10.13.09 at 01:08AM
Ion Dissonance's Solace would make for and intriguing - albeit dark - show. And there would be a direct sequel by way of Minus the Herd.

Thehardcoregerm Posted 10.13.09 at 05:56PM
Bone palace ballet by chiodos The black parade by mychem and homesick by adtr would all be great.

musicoverdeath Posted 10.13.09 at 07:39PM
famous monsters - the misfits.

nmb4xmasrox Posted 10.14.09 at 06:15PM
