By “need to become,” I mean that they should be Hamilton/Wicked/Les Misérables level productions.
1. Pride and Prejudice
Listening to Mr. Darcy sing…sold.
2. The Great Gatsby
Imagine the complicated harmonies resulting from Daisy, Tom, and Gatsby singing at the same time (“One Day More” style).
3. Wuthering Heights
The romance. The setting. The drama…
4. Frankenstein
The original version. I imagine the monster and Frankenstein would have incredibly moving songs.
What do you think? What books do you wish would be adapted into a musical? Let me know in the comments!
Hmm, off the top of my head I can’t think of any classics I’d like to see turned into musicals, but Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens would be awesome.

I AM SO HAPPY THIS IS THE FIRST POST I SAW. I agree that Pride and Prejudice would make a lovely musical, and I know they’ve tried a few times. Of more modern books? I’d love to see One Day by David Nicholls or PS I Love You by Cecelia Ahern. They’re both so simple and beautiful and I think they lend themselves well to music.
