'Finding Nemo' to Become Stage Musical
Backstage: "Disney is converting the undersea tale of Marlin's adventurous search for Nemo, who is scooped up by a diver, into what company officials are calling a 'Broadway-caliber short-form' stage musical."
So "Finding Nemo: The Musical". Its not too far fetched considering Disney's past works, though typically their stage pieces have a bit more substance. This seems to be a mix of "The Lion King" quality of production with the 15 minute pirate show that can be seen every hour on the half hour at Disney Land. The story does seem a bit better than say "The Wedding Singer: The Musical", though the two serve a different audience. Can't say I would necessarily go see the show, but it could be entertaining for my little sister.
