Well, if there's one thing the world needs, it's more parody musicals so tongue in cheek that it feels aggressive.

Will this trend ever die? And people thought jukebox musicals were a bad idea.

Showgirls is one of those movies that you really can't parody because it's so bad to begin with it's like a parody already.

If the amount of self-satisfied mugging in the trailer is indicative of how much there is in the show, I don't think I could handle 90 minutes of that. Plus songs.

Showgirls was one of those movies that was so bad it was good. I liked the way this trailer parodied how angry Nomi was during the entire film.

Any Showgirls musical where Rachelle Rak isn't Cristal Connors is invalid.

Isn't Rachelle Rak like 100 years old now?

I'm not sure it really matters if Cristal is older...we all know ultimately she is ageless...

How terribly clever. YAWN.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

I won't lie and say I won't see it because I totally will. But this should only be done with drag queens.

First of all, original poster just joined so shill alert.

Second, they can toss around the word "parody" all they want, but there is actually a real musical version of this being discussed with the film studio, from what I understand, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone hits these people with an injunction and shuts them right down.

It already happened in Chicago. http://youtu.be/xouCGrG4X3w

I'm pretty sure heads are gonna roll here. Amateurs using the "parody" card to try to ride to fame on the back of copyrighted material. I hope they are not surprised when they hear from the studio.

From the quality of that clip, I'd much rather just watch the movie again. Someone should tell the creators that 'parody' doesn't mean 'using the exact dialogue while winking.'

Oh- I guess I just did.

This one can't be worse than the Chicago one. It's actually impossible, or maybe I'm being too hopeful.

Haven't they already tried "Jawbreaker" and "Heathers"? I wouldn't pay to see those or "Showgirls."

Actually, the Heathers musical is brilliant and they didn't "try" it, it's coming to New York. It's going to be great.

Jawbreakers, from what I heard, is dead in the water.

Is Elizabeth Berkley going to be in it?
