Why I Think Game of Thrones Would Make an Interesting Musical

January 16, 2018 / elizabethdohertyauthor

Here me out! I think Game of Thrones would be an amazing musical (I might be going through Game of Thrones withdrawal). I know that all of the Game of Thrones musicals out there are parodies, and there are WAAAAAAY too many movie-based musicals out there now, but I think Game of Thrones, particularly the first book/series, could potentially soar above the rest (with the right writers, of course). Here’s why:

YA Books I’d Like To See Turned Into Broadway Shows

December 5, 2017 / elizabethdohertyauthor

I’m a teacher. As such, I like to read what my students read, and so I read a lot of Young Adult books (also, let’s be honest, YA books are awesome). I’m also a Broadway enthusiast, which you probably realize if you read this blog or know me at all. Today, I am combining those two and making a list of the YA books I’d most like to see turned into Broadway musicals.

Dreamcast: The Royal We (by @fuggirls) as a Broadway Musical

November 28, 2017 / elizabethdohertyauthor

I’m sure I’m not the only romance author out there living for Prince Harry’s engagement to Meghan Markle. I mean, it’s practically right out of a novel. In fact, it echoes one of my favorite novels in many ways, The Royal We, by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan. (Have you read it yet? If not, please do. Let’s talk about it.) So for today’s blog, I thought I’d combine two of my favorite things: The Royal We and Broadway Dreamcasts.

So if they were to make The Royal We into a Broadway show (which they should), here’s who I’d want to see cast (NOTE: I am casting slightly on the older side because of the number of years the book covers and because people usually read slightly younger onstage).

Classic Movies I Want as Broadway Musicals

November 15, 2017 / elizabethdohertyauthor

So I’m busy watching Roman Holiday right now, which, if you didn’t know, is currently in the works as a Broadway musical. Brief Encounter, Sunset Boulevard, and many other Hollywood classics have found their way onto the Broadway stage. So it got me thinking. What old Hollywood films would I like to see as Broadway musicals? Here are just a few…

Top 5 Best Disney Stage Musicals (according to me)

July 13, 2017 / elizabethdohertyauthor

So this is going to be my last blog for a few weeks (I’ll be back). I’m leaving for vacation in a week, and things are going to be hectic. Feel free to follow me over on Twitter (@edohertyauthor) for all of the vacation fun.

Where am I going, you ask? DISNEY WORLD. It’s pretty much my favorite place, and I am insanely excited.

So for today’s blog, I thought that I would rank my five favorite Disney stage musicals. For the record, I love them all. But these ones hold special places in my heart. (NOTE: I have NOT seen all of these on Broadway. In fact, most of them have been regional productions or national tours.)

Dream Broadway Roles for the Hollywood Chrises

June 14, 2017 / elizabethdohertyauthor

Who doesn’t love a good movie star Chris? I know I do. On my way to work today, I thought about how sad it is that none of these Chrises have ever been on Broadway (though that is changing soon), so I brainstormed and came up with my dream roles for each of them.
