would this make a good musical/movie?

I've thought of doing something like this which would portray the 60s/70s in a more realistic and less romanticized way. But it would incorporate themes present in many different movies/plays like "Across the Universe", "Hair", "Pleasantville" and "American Graffiti". It would start out in some typical suburban high school in 1963 or 1964 and feature a bunch of clean cut idealistic youth. The opening theme song would be something corny like "Good Morning Starshine" by Oliver. The musical in this phase would be almost intentionally corny and the kids are typical americana clean cut types. They have lofty/idealistic goals about joining the peace corps and changing the world etc etc. They then meet  for the last time in August before they go their separate ways (a la American Graffiti) and then the film from then on alternates back and forth in chronicling the lives of each of them. The music at first would be corny early-mid 60s music but as time would go on the music would get progressively edgier (ie Pleasantville).

The movie would end when they finally cross paths once again at their ten year reunion in 73 or 74 and by this time their worldviews have become more cynical and nihilistic. They look back on themselves as eighteen year olds and find it interesting how they can almost not recognize their former classmates or their hometown. They see a lot of change in the country that is often negative (unemployment rising, cities burning, end of us supremacy)  but see society as better because of it. The movie ends with a song that is less idealistic than the opening song, but in place has a more deep meaning as opposed to the shallow "good morning starshine"
The closing song could be something like "Dream No 9" by Lennon, "Time" by Pink Floyd or "Ten Years Gone" by Led Zeppelin.
