You know , we only have the success of The Lego Movie to blame for this . Now brand the world over are hear to shoehorn themselves into amusement ventures in a desperate bid to be the next Lego Movie achiever tale , and we have come to this : A broadway melodious about Monopoly .
Yes , uncover throughVarietythis dawning , Hasbro is teaming up with Broadway producing group Araca to bring its family - friendly capitalism simulator plank biz to the stage show — and , most chillingly ( although the plans are much more in flux density than Monopoly : The melodic ) , the potentiality for even more phase productions base on Hasbro enfranchisement , include Magic : The Gathering .
Details are sparse at the minute — the Monopoly show has no creative squad or satisfying idea on how it plans to play the board secret plan to life , which seems like something you ’d have reckon out before announcing it — and it ’s not expected to hit Broadway for another three or four years . However , Matthew Rego of Araca assure Variety that it wo n’t involve a family line playing Monopoly , but instead pull upon what made The Lego Movie piece of work :
I can tell you this : It ’s not going to be a musical about multitude sit around around playing Monopoly . What turns us on is make something that explores the public of Monopoly , kind of like the Lego motion picture have done with Lego set .
See ? ! Told you we could blame this on The Lego Movie . Why did you have to be so good , Lego Movie ? What have you done ?
Alas , Monopoly : The Musical probably wo n’t be a spirited thriller about a family tearing itself apart over a game of Monopoly , which is a darned ignominy . What it lacks in the opportunity for gaudy melodious setpieces it would more than make up for in truly encapsulating the be hell that is playing a game of Monopoly .
