Just like Saturday Night Fever, Footloose, Hairspray, The Producers, Lion King and Sister Act, Animal House is getting the musical treatment. According to
The NY Times Universal Pictures Stage Productions is working on turning the classic movie into a stage musical. Not much is known about it because it is still in the works, but Barenaked Ladies is working on the score. Part of me is curious to see what they can do with it, but then the other part of me is like there is no way they can do the original justice because it is perfect the way it was. Plus I am so scared that when it eventually gets adapted to the big screen, they will wind up casting the overrated Seth Rogen in John Belushi’s role and he is no John Belushi.
