Oh well. I thought it was a musical about Zelda Fitzgerald.

Don't say, "Who?"

PalJoey, I'm SO GLAD you wrote that... I thought the same thing!

Who?


Zelda Fitzgerald (1900-194
Zelda Fitzgerald, born Zelda Sayre, was an artist, ballet dancer, and writer. Married at 19 to writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, her zany and racy antics -- and his -- seemed to symbolize the fredom of the Jazz Age. She wrote in part to battle her restlessness while her husband was absorbed in his writing.
Zelda Fitzgerald was diagnosed as a schizophrenic. She was hospitalized after a nervous collapse in 1930, and spent the rest of her life in sanatoriums.

Zelda Fitzgerald died in a hospital fire in 1948. It was the 1960s before her writing began to be studied seriously and she began to emerge a bit from the shadow of her more famous husband.

Selected Zelda Fitzgerald Quotations


I don't want to live -- I want to love first, and live incidentally.

Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.

Why do we spend years using up our bodies to nurture our minds with experience and find our minds turning then to our exhausted bodies for solace?

Women sometimes seem to share a quiet, unalterable dogma of persecution that endows even the most sophisticated of them with the inarticulate poignancy of the peasant.

Oh, the secret life of man and woman -- dreaming how much better we would be than we are if we were somebody else or even ourselves, and feeling that our estate has been unexploited to its fullest.

By the time a person has achieved years adequate for choosing a direction, the die is cast and the moment has long since passed which determined the future.

We grew up founding our dreams on the infinite promise of American advertising. I still believe that one can learn to play the piano by mail and that mud will give you a perfect complexion.

Most people hew the battlements of life from compromise, erecting their impregnable keeps from judicious submissions, fabricating their philosophical drawbridges from emotional retractions and scalding marauders in the boiling oil of sour grapes.

I wish I could write a beautiful book to break those hearts that are soon to cease to exist: a book of faith and small neat worlds and of people who live by the philosophies of popular songs.

It's very expressive of myself. I just lump everything in a great heap which I have labeled "the past," and, having thus emptied this deep reservoir that was once myself, I am ready to continue.

I have often told you that I am that little fish who swims about under a shark and, I believe, lives indelicately on its offal. Anyway, that is the way I am. Life moves over me in a vast black shadow and I swallow whatever it drops with relish, having learned in a very hard school that one cannot be both a parasite and enjoy self-nourishment without moving in worlds too fantastic for even my disordered imagination to people with meaning.

Mr. Fitzgerald -- I believe that is how he spells his name -- seems to believe that plagiarism begins at home.

A story about her WOULD make a good story...

Actually, I think there is a Zelda Fitzgerald musical out there. (I'd be surprised if there wasn't one.)

And Legend of Zelda is my favourite video game (series). Go Link!

I think Donkey Kong the Musical would work as a Lion King/Cats type of thing.

Imagine it...gorillas, crocodiles, ostriches, swordfishes, and monkeys singing and dancing in the jungle.

Seriously, though, if you play any of the Mario games, the stories and characters are campy enough for a really good musical. Bowser is getting more and more outrageous with every game.

The Legend of Zelda could be a great serious musical.

Is that the original Donkey Kong?

With Mario as the enemy/protagonist?

ACT I
Mario is enemy

ACT II
DK is enemy

I was thinking more about Donkey Kong Country and their little world.
