Susan Boyle: The Musical: The Movie

[adrotate banner=”1″]The world needs more biopics about random people, and Susan Boyle is the most random person who can sing ever. Thus, magic. Movie magic. Movie magic that is currently a stage musical magic, because that’s what is happening. The musical I Dreamed A Dream is based on the life story of Susan Boyle, and is now optioned for a film by Fox Searchlight. I guess a bajillion YouTube hits and then nothing really is the kind of momentum Fox Searchlight is looking for. Now, Boyle might be a bigger star in England than in America, where we have largely forgotten about her except as a “Oh, yeah, her!” reminder occasionally. That’s what happens when Adele sings your pain away. But maybe America will remember Boyle enough to go see a musical where a Hollywood actress who is incredibly attractive pretends to be unattractive and then sings. Why not?
