It's a little frightening, but almost every chorus boy I know wants to be in this show (if a stage version does in fact exist, or will exist.)
I could actually see it working onstage, with some rewrites. The movie wasn't unspeakable, just problematic. However, if I hear one more whiny "Santa Fe" rendition at auditions...
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."
