I was considering trying to do this sort of thing with the 1999 Donny Osmond "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" DVD. I wanted to use the original cast, but then found out that they never made the recording. The closest one is the 1973 soundtrack release, and that made me want to do it even more, just because I'll be rolling around on the floor. Why, you ask? In the 1973 recording, the narrator is male, while in every subsequent release (including the film), the narrator is female. If I ever get around to doing it (unlikely), I'm thinking of calling it "The Transvestite Narrator Redub" or something similar.

I would also like to try my hand at redubbing PotO with the original cast, but doing a few things different than wmgan (certainly no offense intended). I'd just like to give into my little idiosyncrasies as far as matching the film to the music. Since doing so would make the plot somewhat opaque, I don't intend to make it like a movie unto itself, but like a series of music videos, complete with those annoying credits that pop up in the corner at the beginning (optional, of course). This will also result in some funny gender bending moments, although not on anywhere near the scale of the first project I mentioned. The most notable moment will be when the Phantom starts reciting line from the second Notes sequence at the end of the Why So Silent scene. Since the lines were in a note read by Madame Giry in the play, the Phantom will be speaking with her voice for a moment or two before Michael Crawford's voice fades in. I'm positive I will due this at some point, but when? No idea.
