Hype! Deathmatch 2015: Round 1, Match 6: Aesop Rocks vs. JP

[Pink Ranger]

Oh wow, this one is really close. My vote might actually make a difference, unlike in real elections. Okay, so my vote will be based on your respective answers to this question, and I chose it specifically to challenge and leverage what I know of each of your interests.

I am a Broadway producer, and I want to adapt a science fiction or fantasy novel for a musical theatre production. And I mean a real novel, not a novelization of something like Star Wars or a comic book.

Which novel or novel series would you pitch to me, and why?

 

[flickchick85]

^Yes, this is a tough choice for me too, so I'm curious about the answers to the above question as well.

 

[ComicChick]

actually that question could possibly make a great thread lol

 

[jokesonm3]

I voted JP since his Rock Avvy makes me giggle. t:

Roald Dahl's The Witches, starring Andrea Martin.

Roald Dahl's The Witches, starring Andrea Martin.

Okay, good, but why?

And show your work.

 

[JP]

Because Marc Shaiman and Scott Whitman would write an incredible score for it.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Jurassic Park is one of the greatest 90s movies.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Okay Aesop, JP has thrown down the gauntlet, you have until 10 pm ET today to provide your response. t:

 

[Asteroid-Man]

JP gets my vote

 

[Sawyer]

So......

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Aesop, where art thou? He has yet to appear in his own deathmatch

 

[HaplessHenchman]

Wow! A close first round Deathmatch. I wonder who is going to win?

 

[flickchick85]

I liked the sound of JP's musical, but he's about to get my vote mainly for showing up.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Sorry Aesop, JP gets my vote by default. Have to honor the terms of the essay question.

 

[flickchick85]

Well I'm gonna feel bad if Aesop had something going on in, ya know, real-life that's detained him, lol. I can't vote!

 

[JP]

I laugh at this notion.
