"I am so excited! I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who is an attorney and manages famous artists in music. She ran an idea by me…..she wants to do an interactive Broadway show about my life. The seats on the ground floor will be removed so people can work out to some of the musical numbers in the show. What do you think? Love, Richard"

Well, that sounds all sorts of awful . 


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Just enjoy the Act II opening of THE HEART OF ROCK & ROLL instead.

Is this guy well known?  He posted a recent thread of Broadway experiences I guess to show that he's an actual fan

I could maybe see this in one of the downtown theater spaces, something like Daryl Roth where it's a bit modular, but I don't think there's any way this works on Broadway.

Either senility has finally set in, or the housekeeper still has him held hostage.

Given how he openly derided the idea of Pauly Shore playing him in a movie, I guess this could be seen as Simmons finding a way to take control over his own image again.

But maybe I'm just being too optimistic.

I liked him.  He gave me the incentive to keep on moving even when I wasn't in the mood.  Ta Ta For Now, Richard.

I remember him back in the 80s/90s and his aerobic style fitness videos. May he rest in peace.

Probably not the direction they plan to take it, but I can imagine a one-act workout musical that thematically ties physical aerobic strain to what it must've been like for Simmons to keep going as himself even after becoming a national punchline.
