This may crash and burn, but hopefully we can have some fun. In this thread, we make up alternate plots based on misinterpreted or misconstrued titles of Broadway shows. I'll go first:

THIRTEEN is a musical odyssey chronicling the history of the PBS Network. Come see a minuet about the works of Georgia O'Keeffe, a lyrical dance interpretation of the impact Sesame Street had on a generation of children, and, for the show-stopping finale, a hip-hop montage examining government censorship of media war coverage throughout the years.

I would ammend that to say "generations of children."

Sesame Street is still VERY relevant in today's world.
