"I am ready to disclaim my opinion, even of yesterday, even of 10 minutes ago, because all opinions are relative. One lives in a field of influences, one is influenced by everyone one meets, everything is an exchange of influences, all opinions are derivative. Once you deal a new deck of cards, you've got a new deck of cards."
— Peter Brook
Parker Posey told my friend and I originally the plan was to bring "Red White and Blaine" to off bway or bway but after the filming, the cast decided not to.. apparently guest has an extra 40 hours of never released footage of songs and scenes from the film too. Chris Guest was recently approached to bring Guffman to Bway and he said NEVER. It will NEVER happen :o(
I also suggest Noises Off. Its very funny as well.

In a nutshell, it's about a director in Missouri who wants to present a FABulous new musical for the town's sesquicentennial. To echo some others, if you've ever done community theatre or SEEN community theatre, it will be incredibly relevant.
Members of the company I work with snippily trade 'Guffman' anecdotes behind the back of one of our directors, who is quite honestly a real-life incarnation of Corky St. Clair.
