So, for reasons that I don’t fully understand, I’m going to see Bonnie & Clyde The Musical tonight.
Two murderous armed robbers who were (spoiler alert) shot 43 times between them in their final fateful encounter with the law, and were in such a mess that their bodies were towed to the morgue still in the car. Presumably because nobody wanted to open the doors and ruin their shoes.
Struggling to think of any uplifting song and dance numbers that can come from that.
So, what else would be an odd choice for a musical?
The Icelandic Cod War?
Brexit?
Chernobyl?
Ooh, how about "Springtime for Hitler: A Gay Romp with Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden" . I just made that up 😀
There's a musical version of Carrie.
I know right, that scene..it boggles the mind
Mrs Beagleboy and I saw, Moby Dick the Musical at the Minack theatre in Cornwall about 14yrs ago. It was brilliant fun, way better than Bat Out Of Hell the musical that we saw in that there London place more recently.
Just sit back and let the absurdity wash over you.

Badgers and sealant!
Spoons and epoxy!
Upside down bicycles, only occasionally ridden!
Bangernomics and new bike days galore!
A slice of life, the spice of humanity, people and oddballs gather here!
Can't see a rap-based musical about the founding fathers of the USA doing much business.
An episode of Buffy the Vampire slayer that forces characters to reveal their true thoughts resulting in some huge pivots in their story arcs?
The Shining The Musical might be fun
way better than Bat Out Of Hell the musical that we saw in that there London place more recently
We've seen that twice. Once when it first came out and it was quite dark and dystopian, and once after Covid when it was like some sort of hen party sing-a-long.
Shipman! The musical.
The Old Dear Hunter?
AI: the musical.
So there was this nun, in Nazi Germany and this serial adulterer SS officer with 7 kids...
That Predator one is a work of genius.😀
One that exists and my wife and kids, musical aficionados all, said was fantastic.
Man has accident playing rugby, ends up paralysed. Little Big Things.
Sweeney Todd?

I reckon it's only time until they make a musical about more recent serial killers.
Gary Lineker
BoJo - how I saved our country and still had time to party
Vice Restoration The Musical.
My wife loves to watch Glow Up, a bake off style make up prog on BBC3. This week the contestants had to make up the cast of a girl power style musical about Henry VIII's 6 wives that's currently running in the West End
Bonnie and Clyde is touring here shortly.
Other unlikely actual musicals include Rent, Kinky Boots, and I really enjoyed Hadestown recently.
A few years ago I caught Made in Dagenham the Musical and loved it.

This would be amazing. Featuring love! Children! Sadness! Support! Sudocrem! Picolax! Someone needs to get to work on this right now.
My favourite is Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off, featuring such hits as
"I hate every chimp I see, from Chimpan-A to Chimpan-Zee", "Dr Zeus Dr Zeus", and numerous others
Rocky.
I actually got free tickets for this in Hamburg (story for another day).
explaining daylight saving time to my dog (or why you arent getting dinner yet)
^^^ I came here just for The Simpsons reference.
Center Parcs The Musical
or
The Bad Gateway (502)
Love the Predator musical!
I remember there was a musical about Robert Maxwell but there may have been an injunction to stop it.
i clearly recall hearing some of it. The rendition of Night Swimming was quite touching
Important issues like the US/Canada war, the devil's alliance with his gay lover Saddam Hussein, and of course Kyle's mom being a bitch, made for one of the best musicals of the 90s.
The Human Centipede would certainly make for an interesting chorus line
- I thought it odd when the posters for the Operation Mincemeat show started appearing. How do you make a musical about that.
Time for the Andrew Lloyd Webber to update some of his musicals:
Cats & sudocreme
Smurfmat Driving God.
Death Wish
Update: It was actually pretty good. Gave more context than the film as to why they were murderous ass holes.
BoJo – how I saved our country and still had time to party
Wait for the Truss version.... Saving grace is that it'll be over before the matinee.
Alien/Aliens.
The Pirates of Penzance
Come from away is a weird concept for a musical and I loved every minute of it.
Farage!
Must include “we’re only making plans for Nigel”
👏
That one where the charismatic cult leader is going to wind up dead.
A WW2 mash up......
Digging out tunnels called Tom, Dick and Harry,
Getting shot in the back as I climb out the lorry,
Showing my papers and other such japes,
These are a few of my greatest escapes.
