This is the thread to post your worst (or at least oddest) ideas for a musical.
I'll start. An Ionesco musical.

Okay, how about a truly horrific one? Like "Richard Simmons: The Musical" That makes me shudder just thinking about it!

South of Urinetown
aka #2: The Musical
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

1984-The Musical!!!
The show would end with a big showstopping number performed by Big Brother, played by Nathan Lane, and a big chorus of tap-dancing Thought Police in sequined outfits and bedazzled helmets.
It would be fabulous.

I want to apologize for some offensive messages posted on this board under my name. The night 0f 12-15-08 I did not have internet access, and someone had used my name to post something offensive. My avatar was also changed. I dont' know what else was posted, or if anyone recieved bad PMs, but I want to apologize for that. I've changed my password, and even though I was not the one posting these messages it still needed to be corrected.
