It's not as crazy as you might think. Well, maybe not. At least The Goonies already had a lot of musical elements built right in, from poor Chunk's "Truffle Shuffle" dance to Mama Fratelli's fateful rendition of "Rock-a-Bye Baby" to Andy's encounter with the booby-trapped piano. Then, of course, there was Cyndi Lauper's video contribution, "Goonies 'R' Good Enough." So it's not completely out of nowhere to turn it into a Broadway musical, unlike, say, Spider-Man.

The only thing is the casting. The story is about a bunch of kids who want to be kids for a while longer, and not in a creepy Peter Pan syndrome kind of way. They realize what kind of adult world waits for them outside of their adventure. Being kids is how they save their town. A bunch of grown-up performers in the roles would just be too ironic and bittersweet. Or maybe that would be the point. Mixed emotion overload...

Donner has already met with a Broadway entertainment lawyer, so much like impending adulthood or Sloth when faced with chains, it looks like this thing is about ready to bust out all over the place.
