Much delayed QotD
Other than your current projects, what are some Disney IPs you'd like to see made into a Broadway Musical?

TRON could be a game changer in blending a full story into a very concert-driven experience.

Honestly, I think Home on the Range would be super unique. I love a good ol western vibe and I think it could lend itself to a better life on stage, if they could figure out how to do the cows

The Sword in the Stone, but expand it to include and may cover other figures and events in Wart's reign.

Disney does War Horse
Six does that and it does it so freaking well so I'd like to see a more techno/club take on it
I'm intrigued
Camelot, but make it good

I know Dumbo has already been mentioned, but I would love to see it brought to the stage. It's a story where there is some room for improvements while still capturing its heart, and I'd love to see the work with puppetry they'd do to realize Dumbo and other animal characters.

I actually think this could work as a play with music (a la Peter and the Starcatcher or Choir Boy). Like @mickeyfan5534 said (and @AceAstro confirmed), take the same style as War Horse to bring the elephants to life (but in the case of Pink Elephants, I'd prefer bunraku or some other outlandish form of puppetry). Smaller puppets would be used for Timothy and the crows (not black stereotypes this time around). As for the "play with music" concept, I think this could be a one-act play with only three songs from the film: "Baby Mine", "Pink Elephants on Parade" and "When I See an Elephant Fly". "Baby Mine" is sung early on as a lullaby, thus making the reprise during Dumbo's visit to her cell all the more heartbreaking.

oooooh!
And you open it with "Casey Jr." just as that's a fun way to open it complete with a smoke effect and everything!

Newsies. No doubt about it!
I’m not a huge fan of the movie but how they transitioned it to Broadway is just stunning
King of New York’s tap scene is what wakes me up in the morning
Cabaret. I'm a huge fan of stories where there's a bunch of dark stuff going on under the surface of something light and colorful, and Cabaret is pretty much the primary example of that.
It's an old standard, but I also LOVE South Pacific. Such an amazing cast of characters and soundtrack, with messages and themes that are still just as relevant today as they were when the show first premiered. The performer who was playing as Emille in the production I saw is hands down the most talented vocalist I've ever seen live in any medium.
