''Rocky'' as a musical -- Sylvester Stallone thinks the movie would be great on Broadway

Rocky: The Musical? Believe it or not, Judge Dredd star Sylvester Stallone thinks it's a terrific idea. ''It's perfect,'' says Stallone, who wrote and starred in the original Rocky. ''You have all these different sides — like West Side Story. You've got the girl, the boy. You got Apollo Creed versus Rocky. I think it could work.'' Stallone adds that he'd like a splashy Broadway opening with music by Elton John because ''he's a friend of mine.'' And would he play the pugilist? ''Oh, no, no, no!'' he yells. ''I do not sing!'' Yo re mi, Adrian.
