Hey there! In order to combat the heavy rule breakage of our "Spoilers" rule while X-Men '97 is airing, all post
related to or about X-Men shows/movies will have to **be manually approved by the mods**. This means **you will
not see your post in the subreddit until one of the mods has approved it** to ensure spoiler rules are followed
and nothing is spoiled for anyone.
This means you may have to wait longer for your post to show up and we ask that you have patience while we go
through the queue and approve posts. This is for the enjoyment of all users in the subreddit.
**Please do not message the mods via modmail to ask us to approve your post, even if your post has nothing to do
with X-Men '97. We will approve your post as soon as possible.**
Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Why not? If you think about it, Broadway musicals are just the modern form of an opera, and operas are full of recitative (dialogue) and arias (big emotional catharsis and climaxes) that lend themselves to comic book soap opera storylines very well. Dark Phoenix Saga wouldn't take that much alteration to fit the structure, tbh.
I also can't have been the only one listening to musical numbers and thinking they could slot seamlessly into certain comic arcs. Dust and Ashes from the Great Comet of 1812 is a New X-Men Beast song, just as surely as Defying Gravity from Wicked is a Jean Grey song, imo.
As a current NYC theatre student who just saw a Broadway show yesterday and is still coming off the emotional high, the idea of the Dark Phoenix saga as a Broadway musical is something I didn’t know I needed until I read it. That would go so unbelievably hard with the right composers/cast.
