Now I've seen everything: http://www.playbill.com/news/article/126728.html.

What's next? "Bosom Buddies: The Musical?"

How about "What's Happening?: The Musical?"

"Columbo: The Musical?"

This is not a new show. It was done in Chicago about 18 years ago.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

This show has been around for a while. I remember reading a review of it in an in-flight magazine about 15 years ago. I may have a recording of it lying around somewhere. The official website has song clips.

This show is legitimately one of the worst ever written. I've seen it, done a cutting of it for a kid's show (and by done I mean called as a SM)...and wanted to blow my brains out both times. No thanks.

The Gilligan's Island castaways did their own musical: Hamlet, the musical.

I thought there was talk that this was a "pre-off-Broadway" tour?

I love that the opening "night" performance is at 1 PM down there in Florida.

Gotta have the old folks home at a reasonable hour, huh?
