Hmm. Iraq! has some possibilities. Consider the opening number:
Five times a day we hit that rug
Kissing the ground with a bearded mug
'Cause the land we love just needs a hug
In good ol' Iraq!

Just an FYI, there will be a musical in the NY International Fringe Festival this year entitled THE PASSION OF GEORGE W. BUSH.
I have it on good authority that it's gonna be a hot ticket, and not just because of its title.
I, myself, have wanted to write a show called WILD, BLUE YONDER which musicalizes the deaths of celebrities in plane crashes.

How about Evil Dead 1 and 2: the Musical.
It was a big hit last year in Montreal. They brought it to a small theatre in Toronto this summer and it did quite well. Now they're taking it back to the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal.
And a girl from my university wrote the music. Hehe.

Posted: 7/15/04 at 9:40pmItSucks2BAveQ , I'm curious as to your anomosity towards Avenue Q. Have you seen the show and it just didn't suit your tastes? If so, I'd love to hear your contructive criticism on what you didn't like.

FYI: I <3 WICKED AND I THINK IT WAS ROBBED OF TOO MANY TONYS FROM THOSE DAMN PUPPETS. YES, I HAVE SEEN AVENUE Q AND IT IS BEYOND ME WHY MY MOTHER ACTUALLY PAYED FOR US TO SEE IT. IT WAS OFFENSIVE, DISGUSTING, AND JUST POINTLESS. WICKED ACTUALLY HAD MEMORABLE SONGS, A GOOD CAST, AND IT WAS A PHENOMENAL SHOW. IM SORRY THAT I DIDNT WALK OUT OF AVE. Q HUMMING "THE INTERNET IS 4 PORN" OR "IM NOT WEARING UNDERWEAR TODAY".
OPINIONS ARE THE BASE OF THIS SITE, SO GOOD FOR YOU IF YOU DONT AGREE WITH MY OPINIONS AND SINCE EVEYONE ON THIS SITE TRASHES WICKED, WHY CANT SOMEONE STAND UP FOR IT AND TRASH AVENUE Q. ITS ONLY FAIR. SO AS YOU WERE WHEN I SPOKE ILL OF AVE Q, GET READY WHEN/IF YOU TALK ABOUT WICKED, FOR A WORLD OF PAIN. MUAHAHHA

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
