I know I'm not the only who hates Perez Hilton.

three young writers, from NYU, are writing a new off-broadway musical about Perez.... I just threw up a little.

It's actually a 2008 NY Fringe Festival musical, so it's not even close to Off-Broadway.

And no, you're not alone.

"Kathy Griffin will be depicted as a villain."

She'll love that. Hope she mentions it on her show.

If it ends with him getting disemboweled and having his entrails crammed down his throat I might enjoy it.


Oh...just out of NYU...of course. When the hell is Generation Y going to grow up, get over this "celebrity culture" thing they created and start showing some taste already?


The tragically sad thing is, it will probably be the hit of the festival no matter how sucky it is or isn't.

I can not stand him and pride myself on ignoring him at all cost.

While I fully admit to reading Perez on a regular basis (and enjoying it somedays) this idea makes me want to vomit too.

I think an idea like this could work only if it was a satirical commentary on how much, in today's culture, undue importance and attention is placed gossip blogs and the so-called "news" they report.

I don't know, I think this might be good. One of the creators is the GOD HATES MUSICALS guy. I found it from a previous thread on this board. His blogs are incredibly witty and satirical and does a really good job making roundabout jabs at the people he's portraying

I either threw up in my mouth at the thought of anything in theater being dedicated to/inspired by Perez Hilton, or at the fact I go to the same school as the writers.


Either way, I just threw up in my mouth. yuck.

Anything that generates more public attention and press for Perez Hilton can't be good, satirical or not.

Having just been cast in the show and having read the script, I can tell you that that show is quite funny, well-written, and totally pokes fun as the media obsessed and all those things the public tends to salivate over. It is satirical farce. You make not like Perez Hilton, but I think you may like the show. I may be biased given the situation, but I read the script BEFORE I auditioned and still went it. So there ya go...

And if you hate it, s'all good too.

Hey, it could be brilliant!

...or a trainwreck. You know, life imitating art and all that. :)

Didn't someone say on a thread a while back, that this Hilton guy was going to add a "BWAY" section next year to his gossip blog?
And you thought Mrs.Walsh Smith was airing Bway dirty laundry! Hope this isn't true.
