Ugh.

Here’s the plot: A young black woman who lives in a trailer park — with her grandfather, who’s in an iron lung, no less — auditions for “The X Factor.” Blessed with a Susan Boyle-type belt, she makes it through the first rounds.

An iron lung? So, no choreo from him?

Oh I think it sounds funny. Not Act II - that just sounds silly.

There is a place for campy parody musicals (Silence!, Johnny Guitar, etc.). I don't think a 16 million dollar extravaganza is necessarily a wise idea though.

Really? Otay

Viva Forever was so much fun.

Viva Forever sounds like a horrible concept. Just a bad plot from the beginning. I think a Spice Girls musical would be awesome, but the story has to at least be interesting. Look at Mamma Mia. At least the story will keep people interested because it's sort of a "who is the father" situation. There's not much of a mystery in Viva Forever.

They kept us on our toes with the "Who's the mother" story in Viva Forever. Not very many were interested in it, though, even the hardcore Spice Girls fans!

The show was fun, though. Updated On: 2/13/13 at 10:40 AM
