I'm surprised no one said Pippin yet. I saw the abridged video version, but it was still very weird and it took me a few days to actually get interested in it, and now, I'm playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and banjo for my high school production of it.

I can't come up with an entry in this one... partly because theater itself is weird. And I mean that as praise.
Generally, I feel that most good productions are weird in some way or other. If a production has no weirdness, then it's probably too conventional for me to remember.
I recently did a show at my high school that was a series of short plays by David Ives entitled "All in the Timing". Most of them were pretty funny, but, as always, I got stuck in this weird one called "Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread". It was the most deranged piece of theatre that I've ever been a part of. People keep trying to convince me it was just artistic or existential, but I was unimpressed. That, or Shockheaded Peter (which I saw when I was like 10 at the New Victory Theater). THAT was weird...
I hold a degree in Musical Theatre from Montclair State University. It is useless. Now I'm funny for money. Oh, and I sing.
It was wierd in a a good way. Alot of unexpected action.
