a musical about a murderous barber...what a terrible idea for a musical!

WHAT A HORRIBLE IDEA!!!!

it all in the telling....

How about dancing and singing farmers from nowhere hickville. And on top of that, they will not have the glitz and glamour of the usual musical that everyone adores. How absurd.

Poor people and student revolutions in France? Bah!

A white girl and Puerto Rican boy falling in love? Whatever!

A young girl on a Greek island who doesn't know who her father is and set to the music of Abba? Oh wait...

Oh My Goodness Marc, I love your userpic.

I know I made that comment about the movies turning into musicals.......I have seen the error of my ways. And what is this about a book? People actually read?

how about a whackado who thinks she sees a hairy beast and talks to singing pots and pans?


There are some people in the world who say that writing stories, or composing music or dancing sparkly dances is easy for them. Nothing interferes with their ability to create. While I celebrate their creative freedom, a little part of me just wants to punch those motherf*ckers in the teeth...[tos]

who'd want to see a show about people standing in a line telling some of their most intimate stories about love and theatre???

How about two guys who want to make the big bucks by over selling shares in their musical?

As long as there is never a musical about people who have to pay to urinate. That would end theatre as we know it.
