Susan Boyle: The Musical: The Movie

susan boyle

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?
