Oh No They Didn't! - Glee: The Movie Musicals They Should Tackle Next

Moulin Rouge Not surely how this would occur almost inside the circumstance of Glee, but we'd love to see them stage this crazy film. We can only see Santana as Satine, singing about diamonds and the like. It might be an easy choice to have Artie play Toulouse, since he's shorter than the remainder in his wheelchair, but singing "Nature Boy" would make him something to do.

Coach Beiste as The Duke (in an obviously tamed down storyline)? Yes, please. Xanadu We know the campy movie, and since Cheyenne Jackson, who starred in the subsequent stage version, is already on Glee as the rival choir director, let's get him support in roller skates and have Brittany as the goddess brought to Land to prompt him. Perhaps he can make some big concert at April's old roller rink? Grease 2 Puck's been MIA for a few episodes, but can he fall back as T-Bird leader Johnny? He'd be in bed with Quinn, while she's smitten with a mystery boy on a motorcycle (naturally this would be Lady Lips/Sam in disguise). A cool rider, if you will. There would be bowling and a whole subplot in which Rachel would have sex with Finn because he was passing off to war, Puck could talk about the birds and the bees to a hot new teacher, there would be Hawaiian luaus and it would all but be fantastic. The Voice of Medicine When Mr. Schue suddenly takes ill, a substitute (named Maria) could be brought in to help advance the voices of the glee kids. She takes them support to basics with "Do-Re-Mi," tells them around her time as a nun and takes them on a study trip to some vast hills to see some WWII reenactments. We'd cast Rachel as Liesl so she can sing "Sixteen Going on Seventeen." Saturday Night Fever We're not certain about Finn's singing or his dancing abilities, but we bet he can handle walking round with a pail of pigment and doing some basic disco moves. He could probably snag an old jumpsuit from Burt Hummel's closet. He and Rachel could vie in a dance contest and she could rock some feathered hair until he dumps her for Brittany because she's the best dancer. But we'd leave out the altogether unseemly gang bang and suicide attempt, you know, for TV. Hairspray It was a picture then a musical then another movie, so why not remake it again for TV? Mercedes would be Tracy, trying to fit in despite her curvy size and fight for equality for everyone (it could all be an anti-bullying PSA). Mr. Schue actually played Link Larkin on Broadway, but he's older now so he'd get to be Corny Collins, emceeing a special live fundraiser for the present choir. New Zefron-lite, a.k.a. Sam, would be a perfect Link. And if anyone was fit to be Miss Baltimore Crabs, it would be Sue Sylvester. Bring on the aerosol! Mamma Mia! Frankly, the plot of this musical-turned-movie is pretty stupid and since we already live who Rachel's birth mother is, we can't give her inviting possible moms to her marriage in a role reversal. So just give us an all-ABBA episode, throw in some teen angst about kids wanting to get married too youthful and old lovers reuniting. Have someone belt the hell out of "The Winner Takes It All" and make sure all of the guys sound better than Pierce Brosnan (not a difficult task. even for Finn) and we're well to go. And while I don't need them to do all of Chicago, especially since Kurt already sang us a snippet of "Mr. Cellophane," I would truly dear to see the girls try "Cell Block Tango." He had it coming, indeed! Also,since the Rocky Horror episode wass a success, they could ever do the sorta-sequel Shock Treatment for next Halloween. Has any show ever been as simultaneously exciting and galling as Glee? source
