Dallas as a play

Dallas the Musical or Dallas the play - either way, I'd be interested to watch. :D

Yes I could buy that so long as original Lorimar people were involved and remained true to the script of 78-91

I always liked the original idea of Dallas the early years being a conversation between BBG / VP as Miss Ellie and Pam
But BBG wasnt well and VP had her back problem so it didnt happen

I had no idea that was the original concept of Dallas: The Early Years - I think that would have been lovely to watch, very reminiscent of that early scene in the miniseries ('The Lesson', I think?) when Miss Ellie and Pam sit down to discuss Lucy's mischievous ways.

I like this Dallas: The Musical talk - just think of all the unforgettable musical moments Dallas gave us even in its first year of existence!

Dallas could easily be reincarnated as a stage play. What made it so compelling as a tv show is that it had a brilliant backstory, very well delineated characters and it traded in universal themes. What would kill it stone dead is using it as a vehicle for a retro nostalgia cheesefest or as fanboy indulgence that shoehorned all kinds of unresolved plot points from either the original or the TNT series.
