  Cute for Middle school, just hope Hollywood won't get any ideas.

We already had a musical Superman - It was called Mighty Mouse.

"Here I come to save the daaay!"

I think I recall that musical may go back to the 1960's.  I remember it being mentioned in at least one Superman comic.

From Wikipedia:


"It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's Superman!" opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre on March 29, 1966.[1] Directed by Harold Prince with choreography by Ernest Flatt, it starred Jack Cassidy, Bob Holiday as Clark Kent and Superman, Patricia Marand as Lois Lane, and Linda Lavin as Sydney. The production received generally positive reviews, but it failed to catch on with the theater-going public and closed on July 17, 1966 after 129 performances. The musical received three Tony Award nominations, for Best Actor in a Musical (Cassidy), Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Michael O'Sullivan, playing the main villain), and Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Marand). One of the songs from the score, "You've Got Possibilities" (introduced by Lavin), had some success outside the show as a nightclub and cabaret standard.

So the original star of the Broadway show was Jack Cassidy, (David's dad!).

I think I understand why this closed early:
