Does Barbie: The Movie Deserve To A Musical Adaptation?

Some of my fellow gamers may recall building a Malibu Stacy area in The Simpsons: Tapped Out that would be very much like what you would see in Barbie Land [7] [71] [94]. Remember when Waylon Smithers aimed to establish a stage musical starring Malibu Stacy in that episode of the twelfth season of The Simpsons [77] [86] [97] [98]? That could be the case for Barbie: The Movie, one of the most successful films of 2023 as rumour has it that Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, Mark Ronson, and America Ferrera would like in a stage musical adaptation of it [13] [99] [105]. Barbie Land may not be everyone’s colourful paradise, but I definitely do not consider it as controversial as the French website known as “Ma Bimbo” that was launched in 2007, its English version that was formerly titled “Miss Bimbo” and a strangely political reboot that was launched in 2015 formerly known as “Internet Republic of Bimboland” and currently known as “Fashionable Republic of Ximboland” [2] [38] [45] [78]. On the way back to Barbie Land (or Kendom if you think Ken is the true hero of the film or are just not keen on so much pink [93]), let us take the pale yellow 1950s Corvette this time as if it came from the quirky, vibrant and…politically complex interpretation of Heaven from “Welcome to Heaven”, the sixth episode of the first season of Hazbin Hotel and discuss the idea of a stage musical adaptation of Barbie: The Movie even further [41] [69] [70] [84] [99]. 

The original English version of Miss Bimbo which was renamed “Like A Fashionista” after Beemoov and Blouzar were separated in 2008 is still around to this day alongside Fashionable Republic of Ximboland and Ma Bimbo and I fondly remember playing the 2010 version of Miss Bimbo as a teenager [16] [17] [18] [53]. Speaking of playing, some Malibu Stacy vibes became available for those in charge of their own Springfields on Level 56 in 2015 and on Level 5 in 2019 [75] [87] [89]. Oh! And do not forget about the cart from the Game of Games The Sequel 2020 event [87]. And speaking of animated comedies for mature audiences, I happened to have rick roll’d Adam for being a total jerk to Charlie Morningstar and calling my fairly new YouTube username “weird” [68] [96]. [98]

It has been almost a week since we last discussed how a stage musical adaptation of Barbie: The Movie can be more than passable [99]. While fans of Juliette Reilly tune into her new song titled “Impossible” [73], let us expand on the possibilities of such a concept excelling and whether Barbie: The Movie deserves to be made into a musical or not [99]. I just hope there will not be too much pink snow on the road back to Barbie Land [74]. Bring on the doll logic…and the trumpets [7] [42]! [11]

Let us list some other possible participants in a stage musical adaptation of Barbie: The Movie [99]. Some other choices for the cast could be:

• Taylor Louderman as “Weird” Barbie due to her experience in the musical adaptation of Mean Girls [52]
• Ben Platt as Allan [55]
• Marla Mendel as Midge for an exclusive moment that will be explained later [52]
• Jeremy Jordan as Tourist Ken [52]
• Jonathan Groff as another Ken [55]
• Sutton Foster as Writer Barbie [55]
• Shoshana Bean as Judge Barbie [55]
• Ashley Park as Mermaid Barbie [52]

Some alternate choices for the role of “Stereotypical” Barbie or any other Barbie in Barbie Land, such as Doctor Barbie and Physicist Barbie could be:

• Ali Stroker [52]
• Carrie St Louis [52]
• Laura Bell Bundy [52]

If the Sly Cooper movie turned out to be a full-on musical instead of a regular animated adventure that has, unfortunately, been permanently postponed or the events of the first game were adapted into a stage musical [29] [79] [80], Michael Bublé would be great choices for a singing voice for Sly [24]. As for the idea of Barbie: The Movie being made into a musical [99], there is potential to establish songs that can enhance certain scenes, such as the moment when “Stereotypical” Barbie meets Weird Barbie before she travels to the real world and the CEO in a meeting at Mattel [7] [14].

I know what you are thinking. Wouldn’t the one to play the role of “Weird” Barbie also need to be quite athletic to be able to do the splits to be faithful to the character when it comes to portraying her [7]? Well, from what I recall when I saw a Cinderella pantomime as a child, there was a stuntman also playing the role of Buttons, but as “Dangerous Buttons” for stunts. There might as well be an acrobat as a stunt double for the actress who plays the role of “Weird” Barbie in a stage musical adaptation of Barbie: The Movie. It is better to be safe than sorry. [14]

The potential for a stage musical adaptation of Barbie: The Movie bloomed from the 2023 season of Strictly Come Dancing [15] [99]. Have you seen the performance again at the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour [26]? [15]

What other differences and musical-exclusive aspects could there be between the movie and a stage musical adaption [99]? A romantic moment between Allan and Midge can bloom on stage possibly during a musical number in the resolution after a big plot twist to make up for a missed opportunity to establish them as a couple in a film as I have been aware of their relationship ever since I owned the Caucasian versions of them and their two children from the Happy Family line as a child [7] [37] [106], yet I still appreciate Barbie and Ken not getting into a full-on relationship in a way that would have been pretty clichéd [101]. Shrek: The Musicalmay have been an awkward and slightly self-parodic interpretation of an ogre gradually falling in love with a princess to some of us [28] [99], but a few notable differences in terms of dialogue are quite interesting, such as Lord Farquaad’s parents turning out to be Grumpy, one of the seven dwarves and the princess who felt a pea under a pile of mattresses [102] [103]. Any opportunities that were missed during the scriptwriting and filming can be hit alongside some new ones in response to critical reception in a stage musical adaptation [14] [99].

Surely, Allan Pilgrim is the father of Midge’s yet-to-be-born-already baby [37] [59] [106]. [14]

Some of my fellow 2000s kids seek a missed opportunity to establish a stage musical adaption of Barbie As The Princess And the Pauper at some point way before the film’s 20th anniversary while some 2000s teens may recall Britney Spears at the Barbie Awards Ceremony in Tokyo back in 2002 [23] [91] [95] [99]. No reference to Anne-Marie intended [4]. [9]

Now, onto the question some of us are asking. Does Barbie: The Movie really need or at least deserve to be made into a musical [99]? I believe that it does as I see the potential right in front of me. Besides, Barbie Live!: The Musical faded into obscurity after its short-lived run and chances are that a stage musical adaptation of Barbie: The Movie would become as recognisable and popular as Shrek: The Musical, Frozen: The Musical and the stage musical adaptation of The Lion King [35] [58] [99]. On the other doll’s hand, those who cannot stand musicals would prefer a direct sequel or a spin-off television series centred on Ken finding his own identity [22] [101] [104]. There are a lot of people who think the movie is overrated [105], but as I have stated before, the aspects of feminism can be less preachy in the musical adaptation [14] [99]. Moreover, President Barbie can establish more validation for all Kens a little more effectively by offering them the same job opportunities as Barbies, but without making either side subservient to the other [14]. That is what true equality is [3] [49], right? The ambitiously marketed film that made Barbie a Hollywood starlet could deserve a stage musical adaptation if it can be done quite well [89], especially with the flair, feminism, and funniness in check [7] [54] [57].

Perhaps in a spin-off television series centred on Ken (which would be more necessary than Barbie returning to Barbie Land in “Barbie 2” [101]), he can drive the silver 1950s Chevrolet Corvette that consists of hot rod flames through new areas in Barbie Land that might as well consist of some other elements of Kendom at some point during his further redemption [7] [84] [105]. Anything to make up for the accusations of misandry within political satire if the billion-dollar success of Barbie: The Movie results in a franchise [14] [105]! I could also suggest a brunette Barbie in a light blue counterpart of that splendid pink gingham dress as a second true love interest when it comes to him not making the same big mistake again sometime after “Stereotypical” Barbie’s departure and transformation into a human [7], but that might defeat the purpose of him finding his own identity without reliance on a Barbie [101] [104] [105]. However, “Beach” Ken and his second crush might as well develop a healthy and balanced relationship in a way that is perhaps not too clichéd [101]. [12]

I am not against addressing men’s issues like how MRAs and the MGTOW movement would and I certainly would not approve of using feminism as an excuse for toxic behaviour [27] [92], but it is still important to validate women and their rights in this world and contrary to what some people suspects about feminism, men can be feminists too [56]. I also hope that people will know how important it is to validate autistic people and their rights in this world too [50] [72]. [8]

In association with the plastic starlet’s 65^th anniversary [99] [105], we can wish her live-action journey to self-discovery outside of Barbie Land a fabulous first anniversary this July close to the time Deadpool 3 hits cinemas over three weeks after Despicable Me 4 does [43] [81] [100]. Besides, you just cannot deny how ambitious the marketing for the film was and all the pink trends inspired by the utter pinkness of Barbie Land (and the masculinity of Kendom [65] [66]) [1] [5] [63] [64] [90]. To me, there is quite a lot of potential to establish a stage musical adaptation of the film as a spiritual successor to Barbie Live!: The Musical [99]. And surely, a game of chess between a magenta army and a pale purple army in Barbie Land would not be as militant as a game of chess between Mordecai Heller and Viktor Vasko from Lackadaisy [7] [47]. Several Broadway and West End musicals may be closing this year [51], but chances are that new ones can help keep the theatre industry going [99]. As always, refrain from encouraging sexism [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [46]. It is not worth it. Furthermore, if you are the dominant one in a certain type of relationship, know your limits with the submissive one, even in grey instead of pink [40] [60] [61] [62]. 

Please show some support and respect for Barbara Oppenheimer who seemed to be such a good sport about the impact of the Barbenheimer trend on her [7] [25] [67] [76] [85]. Such a great meme it has been in 2023 that has resulted in an upcoming film adaptation [21] [36] [99] [104]! And please show some admiration for cosplayers who are making cosplaying inclusive for everyone [19] [20] [39] [48] [83], much like how the Barbie franchise aimed to be more diverse as you can tell by the lovely Down Syndrome Barbie that was released last year [44]! [85]

Keep following your dreams because whether you consider yourself a Barbie, a Ken, an Allan or even a Bratz doll, you can be anything [6]. As for me, aside from how I can still be a writer, I could go for some ruby chocolate as I remember my sister treating herself to pieces of ruby chocolate from a Barbie advent calendar while I had a Shrek 2 one when we were kids and the new Ruby Chocolate KitKat McFlurry will be one of the latest sweet treats as McDonald’s in just a week [82] [102] [103].
