"Martha! The Musical"

but hell, as mel brooks proved, given enough comedic genius, anything can work (even "springtime for hitler")

im praying that that was a joke- excuse me, i know it was, but im praying that you werent serious about it being a bad idea

thousands of fans and these critics seem to think otherwise:

The four that come to mind were last season:
Adult Entertainment
Boobs The Musical
Oh and let's not forget URBAN COWBOY!
The agony song went off for each of them but i think Boobs was the worst taste.
I was also not fond of Imaginary Friends but i don't know why they added the musical numbers. The rag doll number made me cringe in pain.

hmmmm.......Silence of the Lambs. Could be fun. Listen to the songs.... kinda interesting......

Shindler's List-omania
CHEMO! (feel the chemistry!)
CSI: De-composition
(its been a rough incarnation today!)

Avenue Q, the reason I said puppets

I actually kinda like SILENCE! The Silence of the Lambs musical. It won't let me download the songs onto a CD, though. Poop.
