South Park Creators do a musical?

I was skimming some things online and I came across this from today:

'South Park' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are working on a Broadway musical... about Mormons. Sources say the new show is currently being developed by the comic duo but is yet to be given a title.

This isn't really new news. They've talked about writing a stage musical since the film came out.

thats probably gonna be fabulous they're an ozome team

Wait, does it say they're doing it alone? Last time I heard they were working together with Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez (of "Avenue Q" fame) on the project. If I'm correct Marx and Lopez were big fans of South Park before they struck gold with Q, and Parker and Stone really appreciated Q...and so forth.

Really, I think that Matt and Trey should go work again with Marc Shaiman. The songs he and Trey wrote for the South Park movie and Team America are hilarious and catchy.

(btw- side note, does anybody find it funny that Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez, after writing a musical about puppet sex and internet porn, can only seem to be found doing family theatre work today[The TheatreWorks event, Finding Nemo at Disney World]?)

EDIT: Okay, I checked the articles and it indeed said that Marx and Lopez were writing the music. This is indeed combining the forces of my favorite Broadway show with the forces of one of my favroite TV shows...equaling a sure-fire plane ticket to New York...

The music from Team America isnt that bad, take it I only like one song. The movie itself look kinda stupid I havent watched it yet but a lot of my friends are fond on of it

What? Did they write the music to that too? I HATE that movie it`s to weird.


"Words and Music. I love them. And especially what happens when you put them together into songs. And sing them, in a large building, in a central part of town, as part of a play, with a lot of people listening, who have all paid a great deal to get in." - Edward Kleban, composer/lyricist of A Class Act and lyricist of A Chorus Line

I'm very happy about this!

I'm pretty sure Cannibal was done even before South Park, so maybe it can be chocked up to being "their first time was a little rough" if it's as bad as people say. I haven't seen it, but the people I know who have watched it love it.

Cannibal DOES have some pretty good songs. When I watch it (or when they use it at the end of South Park as their logo), I can't get the tune to Schpadoinkle out of my head!

Plus, it made for one of the all time greatest obscure allusions in Buffy history!

Isn't this the musical version of The Book of Mormon they were talking about?

---

If they turn the Book of Mormon into a musical, it better be pretty damn funny.

I think South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut would be fabulous. Can you imagine the staging of 'Blame Canada'? Like it was performed at the.. Golden Globes..? that one year? It looked like a mock version of "One Day More." It'd be fabulous.
