However, it occurs to me that on the positive side of the equation, perhaps Hugh Jackman would be willing to play Simon on Broadway.....<BR><BR>Ian<BR>

I've heard. However, the odds that it would have been done well are exceedingly
slim. Just look at the list you offered as an example of how the source
material and the end result are often widely (and wildly) disparate in quality.
For every Sweeny Todd there is a Superman waiting to happen. There is
apparently a Spiderman musical in the works at the moment. I am willing to go
out on a limb and say it will be horrible. Even the classics are often
subjected to horrible treatment when they start singing. The Three Musketeers
anyone? Little Women? No, I think we should be thankful that Simon's little
ditties about the ungodly were never committed to music.
