How Would You Cast Your Favorite Musicals with DC Characters?

For instance, imagine a version of “Little Shop of Horrors” with:

~Poison Ivy as Seymour
~Harley Quinn as Audrey
~Joker as Orin
~Floronic Man as Mr. Mushnik

Or “The Sound of Music” with:

~Catwoman as Maria
~Batman as Baron von Trapp
~The Robins and Batgirls as the Von Trapp Children
~Wonder Woman as the Mother Superior
~Helena Bertinelli as Rolf the messenger boy

Or “Oklahoma!” with the cast of Smallville, “Chicago” set in Arkham Asylum… the possibilities are endless!

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Sweeney Todd - The Joker
Mrs. Lovett - Harley Quinn
Judge Turpin - Batman
Beadle Bamford - Dick Grayson (cos he is the best Robin)
Signor Adolfo Pirelli/Daniel O’Higgins - Edward Nygma

Oh this is a brilliant thread, and the musical theater in me is screaming at my PC - Good job, @VengeanceNightBatman!! :slight_smile:

I don’t know the whole of it and am not into musicals in a big way, but Batman would find his way into the H.M.S. Pinafore somehow. “If his brow should furrow and his lip should curl!” applies to Batman I feel.
