Weekend Poll Top Three: Of All the Bradley Cooper Films, Fans Want Silver Linings Playbook to Dance on Broadway

Broadway.com Audience Choice Award winner and Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper is back on the Great White Way in The Elephant Man! So naturally, we're celebrating by alternating our time between staring mindlessly at this and picturing his films on stage. Yes, we know: Original stories are important and vital to the success of the industry, et cetera. But that doesn't mean that these flicks wouldn't make terrific stage adaptations. And while Bradley Cooper wouldn't necessarily have to star in them, we absolutely would not object to that. We asked you to pick which film of the Hollywood hunk you'd like to see on the Great White Way as a musical. The votes are in, and here's what you had to say!

1. Silver Linings Playbook—39%
Silver Linings Playbook features three things that have proven to make successful musical material: gambling, dance competitions and, while it’s no laughing matter, bipolar disorder. Could the 2012 romantic dramedy be the show to finally get Oscar-nominated composer Danny Elfman to write for the stage? Or Jennifer Lawrence, for that matter?!


2. American Hustle—11%
Those costumes. Those WIGS! Seriously, if an American Hustle musical were to happen, Bernadette Peters could win another Tony Award for her performance as Amy Adams’ hair. As it turns out, we already knew you were eager for this Oscar-nominated flick to bring the ‘70s back to Broadway.


3. The Hangover—10%
Wild felines. Gangsters. Mike Tyson. Again, three elements that make the Great White Way great. Put them together, and you’re on your way to an exciting, if not just a bit crude, toe-tapping tuner based on the 2009 hit comedy.
