The Princess Bride is my favorite book in the whole wide world. And I love the movie equally as much.

"William Shatner always needed fresh sushi, Kiefer Sutherland needed a cigarette and In-N-Out Burger," she told us. "Rosie O'Donnell needed chicken of some sort. Elaine Stritch, she had to have hard-boiled eggs and skimmed cappuccino. Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson, one of them were vegan or macrobiotic. It was unique."

As you wish! This week it was announced that Disney's beloved fairytale turned cult-classic rom-com The Princess Bride is headed to the stage. Like many of you, we at Broadway.com started freaking out kept very calm and began imagining the brave Westley (played by Cary Elwes in the movie) and feisty Buttercup belting out "As You Wish" like a Taylor Swift power ballad with a chorus line of Rodents of Unusual Size dancing behind them in top hats and tap shoes. We're thrilled that Disney will work with author William Goldman to transform his fantastical tale, but we can't stop fantasizing about who should play our humble farm boy Westley! So you warthog-faced buffoons, we have to know: Which Broadway hunk should star in the stage version of The Princess Bride? Prepare to vote!

There's some good news to balance out word that the musical adaptation of Big Fish will be closing in December. Disney Theatrical Productions has confirmed a new deal to collaborate with William Goldman on a musical adaptation of The Princess Bride. Goldman’s 1973 fantasy novel, adapted into the classic Rob Reiner film starring Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, and Robin Wright, has been down this road before. A few years ago Goldman collaborated with The Light In The Piazzacomposer Adam Guettel and completed a large part of the score, though ultimately it fell apart over a financial dispute. But Alan Horn—who, along with Reiner, was one of the founders of Princess Bride's distributor, Castle Rock Entertainment—is now the chairman of Walt Disney Studios, it was he who brokered a new deal with Goldman. There's no official timetable, creative team, or cast in place as of yet, but all of that is in motion. Just imagine what they’ll do for the "Rodents Of Unusual Size" number in the Fire Swamp.
