I've been commissioned to write a Broadway musical, but I don't know what it should be about. Anyone have any ideas?

Louis Zamperini. There's a new book out about him by Laura Hillenbrand named Unbroken. I'm guessing there'll be talks of a movie in the near future, because his life is so unreal, so getting the rights to the story might be an issue......
This idea is inspired by the Titanic/gayest movie thread (because of the correct answer, Top Gun, and associating the song "In the Navy" with Tom Cruise because he's a navy pilot in that film), but you could make a musical about the Village People. I mean, Mama Mia and Across the Universe have been huge. I know that there was a terrible movie about the Village People made soon after their success years, but I think enough time has passed to revisit this bizarre American musical group.
1) Gay Jews, presented is a positive, sympathetic light. Get some Nazis in there for good measure
2) Barry Goldwater - an embodiment of real conservatism without the christian fundamentalist right.
Send any royalty checks to USATF,
thank you!

1 is pretty good, but I honestly think it would be better if it were about gay nazis
This is easy: PRE: The Musical!
Pre - Neil Patrick Harris
Bowerman - Ian McKellan
Lasse Viren - Alan Cumming
Pre's dad - Harvey Fierstein
Pre's mom - Martina Navratilova
Pre's love interest - Chastity Bono
Adolescent Pre - Justin Bieber
The Legend of Eddy Lee
(the man would not stop until he reached his goal)
I have tried to post thre or four threads on this site.
Each time, it is deleted.
What gives?
I mean, this stupid topic is ok, but my posts about actual running is not?
Really?
This thread is a joke.

Weird theme, but I think you're on to something here.
**Douche the Musical**
Frustration, anger, mom's basement, the human spirit...
Make one about stuckwithmatch.com and his "thing" with the girl in the coffee shop. You could twist the facts around a little bit (or not). The LRC message boards could be like a Greek chorus. You could start it off with "inspired by a true story."

I believe s/he goes by "Chas" now.
Mormons
Here ya go boss.
Can you combine the idea of a sequel to the Vagina Monologues with the fact that Chastity Bono didn't want her vagina anymore?
"Letsrun: The Musical"
It writes itself.
A kid in Florida does 60x400, falls asleep.
It flopped as a novel, but would certainly mine B'way gold!
Given what passes for culture in America and examining what makes a successful play, you'll need a pop-culture theme from TV, movies or oldies hit music.
If ABBA's musical catalog can be stretched into a hit musical, the sky's the limit. Some possibilities:
My Sharona
Seasons In the Sun
Get Down Tonight! (high potential here, with KC & the Sunshine Band's favor among those w/"alternative" lifestyles)
Achy Breaky (line dancing's answer to "Movin' Out")
If you can't make it broadway, consider an off broadway musical called 'La Cocina.' It could be a comedy about an Mexican chef named Pepe who mimes cooking tamales on stage.
