Marianne2, your suggested musical, "F--- Everlasting," could be about a clinic that treats priapism. (I think that's the word).

How about "Tent," the sequel to "Rent," where the characters neglect to pay the rent and wind up living in the woods in upstate New York?

Instead of "The Phantom of the Opera," there's "The Phandom of the Opera," where a group of followers of the Philadelphia Phillies' mascot, the Phanatic, decides to attend "La Boheme" together, but they behave as if they're at a baseball game.

"My Far Lady" is about an Internet romance.

"My Hair Lady" is a musical version of "Steel Magnolias."

"My Fail, Lady" is about a guy who admits fault in an auto accident, and winds up dropped by his insurer for being honest.

"Fiddler on the Rook" is about a chessboard that comes to life each night, with each piece represented by a different instrument in a symphony orchestra.

"Hi, Milton" is the story of Uncle Miltie's rise to fame.

"Fun Hole" is ... never mind.

These are fun. I hope I can think of some more!

Next List: 

"On the Down," about a depression support group.

"My Air Lady," about a cabin attendant.

"Rant," about an idiot right-wing talk radio host who falls in love with a liberal Democrat.

"The Lion Kin," about Simba's family reunion.

"42nd Strut" (two letters), about a young burlesque dancer who made a bet she could get to Broadway before her 50th show.

"My Tilda," a musical biography of Tilda Swinton, as told by her mother.

"Jersey Goys," about a class that meets in a Paramus shopping mall to teach a group of gentile women how to find the best bargains. (Note: I'm Jewish and can get away with this!)

"A Chorus Lien," about the Mormon Tabenacle Choir's fight to get out from under the thumb of the cruel bank to which it owes money.

"Chest," about pirates and their attempt to open the wooden box they dig up.

"Che's," the retelling of "Evita" from Che Guevara's point of view.

"Shoe Boat," a prequel to "Kinky Boots," which shows how the original company owner got his start – by riding a paddle-wheeler to market his creations along the Mississippi River. 

"Wad Horse," the musical version of "Equus."

A LOT of these ideas in this thread are very very funny but this one is really clever and on point as well as funny.  Just perfect.

I LOVE this thread. Here I go again:

School of Cock – A story in which someone learns about ... get ready for it ... raising roosters.

Can Ride – The story of how a wheelchair-bound young boy becomes a champion horseman.

Giri – A musical about the French version of Apple's electronic voice, in which she falls in love with BB-8.

Gigli – Who would waste their time and money making this? Certainly not Ben Affleck, who has been there, done that.

This Aster (two letters, but it's a consonant blend, so it's only one sound) – The story of a gardener who wants to beat her stepmother at raising prize flowers.

Pin Pin – The story of a 1950's sorority girl who winds up going steady with two frat boys.

Car Rival – Start your engines!

Cars – Yet another Disney musical.

Cots – A musical version of Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues," in which a Jewish New York kid goes to Army basic training in Mississippi.

Cath – A heart surgeon's story.

Cuts – A love story about Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette.

Cast – A "Chorus Line" type story in which two divas who can't stand each other vie to sing the "Queen of the Night" role in "The Magic Flute."

Acts – Andrew Lloyd Webber's latest religious musical, based on Christian scripture.

Truck Everlasting – The Toyota pickup that keeps going and going and going.

I think I'm becoming obsessed with this topic.

Hunny Girl – Winnie the Pooh's quest for a mate.

A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Mudder – A musical version of the Greek tragedy "Oedipus Rex."

Mewsies – The prequel to "Cats," focusing on when they were kittens.

Guy Psy – The rarely told story about why Sigmund Freud had to give up on analyzing men and focus on women.

Hedwig and the Hungry Inch (two letters) – A musical that combines "Hedwig" with the children's book, "The Hungry Caterpillar."

Ma'm, Ma'm! CIA – The story of a government spy who is so inept he can't get anyone to talk to him without revealing his agency affiliation and flashing his credentials.

The Kin Gandhi – The story of how Mahatma Gandhi's family coped with his commitment to revolution.

The King and Bi – It's the same story we all know and love, but in this version, Anna is not a widow and both she and her husband travel to Siam. "Getting to Know You" takes on a whole new meaning.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Quorum (two letters, but q and u are practically one letter) – Who knew a musical about Roberts' Rules of Order could be so entertaining?

Dam Yankees – The story of General Grant's unsuccessful attempt to take Vicksburg by diverting the flow of the Mississippi River, based on a true Civil War event.

Cabernet (two letters) – Vintners struggle to make a go of their winery.

Rebacca – Chewy falls in love with a beautiful female Wookie, but he keeps encountering obstacles whenever he makes plans to see her.

Came a lot – No explanation needed.
