If you're going to take the "unrealistic" premise, and oppose "remakes", I can only assume you also oppose Shakespearian plays, as 1) it's unrealistic for people to be conversing in iambic pentameter and 2) most, if not all of his works were derived from earlier works by others. Sorry, Mike (and Peter), but the only real reason you've yet offered for not, sight unseen, allowing a musical based on SA is that you don't like musicals.
