BEST IN SHOW coming to Broadway! (NOT!)#1

I witnessed a hilarious moment last Wednesday.

There is a subway poster for ANNIE that features a photo Sandy, and above it are big bold letters that say BEST IN SHOW! (There is an ANNIE logo in a much smaller size at the bottom right of the poster.)

A group of high school boys on a spring break walked by the sign, and one of them perked up and got real excited. "LOOK! 'BEST IN SHOW!' When did they turn that into a Broadway musical?! We should see this instead of Phantom!!"

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

I personally like the "Who's Your Daddy?" signs with Anthony Warlow...

I know that this is threadjacking, just a tad. But, this is in the same vein as what the OP said.

I was waiting outside in the rain and snow the other night for the ticket holders line for Matilda to die down. As I was waiting I witnessed a young girl (most likely in her 20's) saying in a thick southern accent as she looked at the marquee while walking through Shubert Alley, "Matilda? is this the movie or did they turn it into a show?"

I'm (pleasantly) surprised that high school boys have heard of Best in Show.

Meanwhile, all of the songs in Waiting for Guffman have already been written.

Hey, I'd rather see a BEST IN SHOW musical over a PHANTOM, too!

Best in Show is one of my favorite movies. I would love to see it as a musical, but only if the dogs get to sing.

I think they should get a dog to play the cat in Breakfast at Tiffanys. Just call it a cat and let audience use imagination.
