8 Things From "The Princess Bride" That I Want To See In The Musical Version

The musical is allegedly happening and I hope these 8 things survive the adaptation.

1. "As you wish"

The opening number has got to be a love song titled 'As You Wish' set in Buttercup's Barn.

2. The epic duel atop The Cliffs of Insanity

The gentlemanly sword-fight between Inigo Montoya and the Man In Black could be turned into a great duet.

3. The Fire Swamp

Every good stage show needs some pyrotechnics.

4. The interrupting grandson

It's a cute narrative device and the kid can throw some serious shade.

5. The Pit of Despair

This could easily be the setting for a tense and nail-biting act one finale.

6. Fezzik trying to sober up Inigo

Fezzik would have a fantastic baritone.

7. Miracle Max bickering with his wife

This would be the hilarious song in the second act that relieves the dramatic tension.

8. "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die!"

Give the man playing Inigo a Tony already!
