Astro Boy: The Musical?

[Dragonrider1227]

I had a strange thought. Tim Burton is working on a musical for Batman. If this this works, other people may stat making musicals of popular comic books so it got me thinking. Would you go see a broadway musical for Astro Boy? I proboly would depending on who was doing it.
I'm strangly thinking Michael Crawford for Dr. Elefun, but that's just me.

There is or was a live stage performance in Japan, whether it was a musical or not, I do not know.

Well, if this were to happen, then may I suggest that Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich as the song writers? They wrote the rock musical "Repo! The Genetic Opera" and I have to say,they do good work. Of course, Repo is pretty dark, so if you want, you can disreguard my suggestion. However, I do suggest looking into the Repo muscial, here's the link to some info on the the movie/musical if anyone wants to look and some songs so you can hear what their songs are like:
