Spurred the ________ of and my love for Grey Gardens, I wrote this parody. I hope you like it.

"Another triumph,
The Side Shows go home
The bad shows, they still come to town
Oh god
My god
Another triumph in a cartoon town
The plots are empty
They rely on the kids
While the Caroline’s just go off and drown
Oh god
My god
Another triumph in a cartoon town

One little show from off of Broadway
Refuses to not transfer
Blown by reviews
It expands its set
Unwilling to wither and die
The run is over
But I'm still a fan
Cavorting in my Urinetown crown
From flop run to flop run
I buzz like a bee
Then glance in the theatre and what do a see?
A brilliant show that’s inhabiting me
But its just a triumph in a cartoon town

Yesterdays Nom’s
A faded framed plaque
Tonys that they should have won
All the old shows
Ran longer it seems
Its difficult to quite compare
The previews ended a long time ago,
But no one told the people to come
The raves from Ben Brantley still twinkle and shine
The Pulitzer rumors they’ll always be mine
That great street of theatre oh how can they take
Another triumph in a cartoon town
Oh god
Oh god
My god"

Julian, that was brillaint!


I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Oh, Julian how I love thee.
Pure genius!

Agree with the other posts. I love it!

It's sad that all of this is so true. The good shows just can't seem to last.
