There was talks of that a long time ago when the mega-blockbuster-schmaltz-musicals were in their heydays in the 90s. Especially around the time Princess Diana died, because there were so many similiarities between her and Elisabeth.
I don't think today's cynicism would treat Elisabeth kindly. Yes, she didn't have it easy in her life, but she was still a hugely neurotic contrary mopey person, who hardly lifted a finger to help the people in her Habsburg Empire but spent most of her life just feeling sorry for herself. And I really don't think the Eurotrash pop music would go down well with the London audiences weaned on Broadway.
I loved Elisabeth back then and I still think it has some kick-ass good tunes, but just like Björn and Benny's Kristina it was a product of its time that I don't think would work well now.
