As a twist on the "Who would play the characters if the Trilogy were remade today?", who do you guys think would play the characters if the movies were remade into a musical and what would be their characters' hit solo?

My first one would be Fredo singing "I Didn't Know it was Gonna be a Hit" sung by John Travolta (closer description to the book).

Johhny Fontaine, a part made famous by Al Martino, will of course, be played by Tony Bennett.

Well....

I envision a big, "We're gonna-go-to-war..." type of production number prior to Michael's shooting of Sollozzo.

Reminiscent of The Marx Bros. in Duck Soup.

Picture it....Tom, Sonny, Mike, Fredo front & center stage, flanked by Tessio & Clemenza.

A-hidy, hidy, hidy, hidy, hidy, hidy, ho!!!

Awesome.

It would be a "Hit"

The songs for the first musical

1. "I Believe in America"- Sung by Bonasera and Vito in the office

2. "We're in the wedding of the year!" Sung by Guests

3. "Act like a man!" Perormed by Vito

The school bell rang. To be continue...

Giorgio Luigi Gambino

"All I want Is no More Attempts on My Fathers Life" By Michale

"I got Hit By The Thunderbolt" by Mike

"MY HUSBANDS A GODDAMN WIFEBEATER AND WOMENIZER!" by Connie

And A special Aperence by FFC about Why GF PART III Wasnt as good and how Paramount stresed him to fucking much.

I can see a song called "Nothing Personal, Just Business."

Tom Hagen Could sing it.

Hyman Roth Simnging about "This is the Life We chose"

Michael could sing "You're the one that I want" when he picks Kay up at the school after his long abscence.

He could sing "NO!"

Luca Brasi sings "mack the knife" (picture that for a moment)

McClusky and Solozzo sing a duet of "That's Amore"

Sal Tessio sings "for old times sake"

Jack Woltz sings "Camptown Races"

Kay Can sing "My Husbands a cold heartless bastard mob boss!"

Id probbably dive head first off the nearest 5 story building.

"Why cant we be friends", sung by Vito, Barzini, and Tataligia at the meeting.

"IM ****ING MY COUSIN!!" by Vinnie and Mary

I can see it now: Michael, right before he kills Sollozo, goes into a solo opera like song, expressing his feelings about making his bones. How he is nervous, yet eager. The stage fades to black while a spotlight is on Michael. Then the lights come up, he kills both men, then he drops the gun, drops a loud note, and then runs off into the night.

At the meeting, Vito can sing, "WAR, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?!"

Fredo can sing, "It's a hard knock life!"

and Michael can sing to Kay at part 2, "Bye, Bye. Bye"

Jonny Fontaine Can sing about how he let his wife go for a bimbo!

Jonny Fontaine Can sing about how he let his wife go for a bimbo!

Johnny Ola as he is being strangled by Michael's silent body guard belts out: "One Less Bell To Answer"

Jack Waltz when he wakes up to see a horse head under his covers, croons: I got the horse right here his name is Paul Revere, can do, can do, he is 8 to 5 on the mornin line.


wil.

A Godfather musical?! Oh, that's funny....

Of course, there would have to be a tumultuous number when Kay 'leaves' Michael:


K: 'It was an A-BOR-TION....!! You are BLIND..!!'

M: 'You won't take my CHIL-DREN...!!!'

K: 'They are MY chil-dren TOO....'



Apple

Well, there would HAVE to be a song-and-dance number with Sonny, Michael, Tom, Clemenza and Tessio called "bada-bing, bada BANG."

Don Sicilia,

My compliments, this is an amusing premise that hasn't come up before (surprisingly).

I envision the GF opening with the wedding scene and a mini-operetta, montage of songs:

Vito, played by Meatloaf, sings the main theme, simply "My Daughter's Wedding". Interspersed we meet the family and the supporting characters (like the movie), but each comes in with their own signature songs and melody that repeats throughout the musical. Michael, played by Antonio Banderas, sings "That's My Family Kay" and Kay, played by Jewel, sings "I'm Just a WASP from New England." Sonny, played by Michael Bolton, belts out "Line Up Those Bridesmaids." Clemenza, played by Luciano Pavarotti entertains the wedding guests with "More Wine." Singing off in the shadows is Fredo, played by Tom Petty who opens with "This is My Brother Mike." Connie, played by Shania Twain purrs to Carlo, "I Like it When You Hit Me." Harry Connick Jr. comes in for a cameo, doing the Johnny Fontane stuff. And the guy who finishes off the big number is Tom Hagen, played by Don Henley, "I'm On My Way to Hollywood."

OO! HOW NICE!

Right back at ya darling.

Kosmos needs a deodorant.




wil.

Ok.

I got another song.

"We are family" with Everyone singning

i think the best musical over all in gangster movies is "tony montana's theme."

It was too 80's to be the best.

The Godfater and Godfahter part II themes are some of the Best Soundtracks ever made.
