Oh, I absolutely agree. If done tastefully, anything could make a great musical. But, after reading about the disasterous reviews Carrie got (and, keep in mind, I had to read about it because I was only 7 when the musical based on Carrie was released) due to the bad casting and poor direction, I worry that this project might have similar instances.
