Seriously, does anyone know more about it? I came across it through Google news search... o_O

- Is this real?
- If it is, does anyone have more info? XD

- If it's not, let's turn the topic into this: How would a musical about DBZ look if you were the director?

..Discuss.

I'm not really buying it. They look like cosplayers. Is this site actually for this venue or is it a general internet place?

Looks like a fan thing to me. If it was official, it would probably be in Japan. There are BLEACH musicals (I've seen the first one & it cracked me up), & I could actually see this happening in Japan. It would probably be like the BLEACH musicals. Cheesy, hilarious, awesomeness in one convenient, bizarre package.

The idea of a db musical makes me

.
I can't really see it as a Broadway production though; if I were to make one, it'd be an animated special, no live action. ^^;

It wouldn't be so different from what they did with the character songs (which is how I know Vegeta, Kuririn, Chi-Chi, and Gohan can all sing) only whatever they would sing about would be in context with whatever the plot would be.

Also, I've heard Ms. Nozawa sing in-character as Goku; and Goku is a horrible singer. XD I'd like to see them play off of that. Like have a chorus try to drown him out whenever he tries to burst into song.

OR, or you could have it where everyone else but Goku is acting as if they're in a musical while he's the only one isn't and is thus tremendously confused by the sudden alteration to his world. X3

A Dragonball Musical? Japan's the only Country that'll do this kind of thing!

If I get to see it on the Internet, I think I would shit my pants. XD

I'd love this.

Then, at the end, he decides to sing too, but it's so bad, everyone decides it's the end of the musical.

Perhaps my medication is messing with me. I'm actually starting to really want a japanese DBZ musical. This is just like that time I tried to convince my classmates that FFVII would make a great musical...

Great? Perhaps. But it wouldn't be a very uplifting spectacle, unless they trashed the entire tone of the story (which I wouldn't mind). Dragon Ball would at least make you feel good in the end.

I would like this only if they danced like the Mario Icecapades to Chaaaa Ra!! Heee CHA RAAAA!!!

Uplifting? Not a chance. It would, however, be hilarious. I can see it now. Sephiroth breaking out into a song and dance after turning one of the most beloved characters in all of gaming history into a shish kebab... uh, back on topic...

So, a DBZ musical, huh? Would you want it to be based on a particular arc, or would you prefer an original story?

I'm not adding anything to the conversation, I know, but, I was going to this exact thing.

...actually no, that's not something to smile about, Evolution was awful.

Am I the only person here who hates musicals? This is a terrible idea!!!

I think the only characters a musical story-line would perhaps suit is... The Ginyu force!

I agree, someone should definitely go see this for a review.

...So, anyone living nearby?
