How does everyone feel about a potential Helen Keller musical? — Page 2

Actually, the director at my school did tell me that there was a play that was a follow up to The Miracle Worker. He said that it is called Tuesday afther the miracle and it is about Helen's later years with Anne Sullivan while she is at college. And, the two actually fight over a guy.

Actually, it's called Monday After the Miracle. It flopped on Broadway (seven performances!). Jane Alexander was Annie Sullivan. Karen Allen played grown-up Helen.

Hilarious, only because there are so many Helen Keller jokes out there in this cruel world.

What if the musical incorporated all of those horrible jokes?

Her dog died when Helen took him sky diving with her.
She broke her arm reading a stop sign at 50mph.
She punctured her ear when she tried to answer the stapler.
She punctured the other one when they called back.
She drives herself crazy trying to read a stucco wall.
She burns her face bobbing for french fries.
Her parents punish her by leaving the plunger in, rearranging the furniture, put her in a round room and told her there's a penny in the corner, wash her hands with soap, give her bird-seed to read...
She discovers her sexual self by masturbating with one hand and moaning with the other.
She falls down the well and screams her fingers off.
She falls down the well again, but no one can her because she is wearing mittens.
She wears skin tight pants so you can read her lips.
Someone hands her a cheesegrate, and she says "that's the most violent story I ever read!"
she gets purple hands from hearing it through the grapevine.

The book practically writes itself!
