One for the Money: The Musical

The beginning of the Stephanie Plum series!

I once heard someone describe her (Ruthie Henshall) singing as sounding as though she's trying to swallow a whole meatball slightly larger than her windpipe. (The same person compared Michael Ball's singing to sounding as though he's sitting on a washing machine on spin cycle and Colm Wilkinson's to a man with a paralyzed lip trying to eat cottage cheese.) --- Schmerg_The_Impaler

Remembrance of Things Past, the interminable musical.

With musical homages to every musical that we can get in -- but not funny ones, like in "The Musical of Musicals: The Musical".

1, 2, Freddy's Singin' For You! Featuring songs such as "He's Dead, Honey (Because Mommy Killed Him)", "Baseball Bats And Boogeymen", "We Don't Need A Stretcher. We Need A Mop!", the big dance number "The Boiler Room Boogie", and the showstopping duet between Freddy and his glove, "This Is God". Forget Elm Street. This time, the Nightmare's come to BROADWAY! Starring Raul Esparza as Freddy.

The Valley Of The Dolls starring Shoshana Bean as Neely O'Hara and of course, Patti LuPone as Helen Lawson. Songs include "Boobies, Boobies, Boobies (Who Needs 'Em?)", "Sparkle, Neely, Sparkle!", and "I Don't Have Any Talent (But I Am Doing My Bust Exercises)".

If anyone knows the videogame "Portal", while playing it today, thoughts of it as a musical briefly crossed my mind.

Problem is, it only has two characters, one of which is never seen and the other of which never speaks.

I believe I have posted this on a similar thread, but the top candidate for worst musical idea is a no-brainer; I know, because I was talked into writing the book for it. It concerns a girl who receives millions of dollars when she turns 18 from her grandmother, so her parents hide the grandmother in Central Park as a bag lady, where she befriends pimps, hookers and other bag ladies. The working title was "Sister, Can You Spare A Dime?" Sadly, it never made it past the one night reading. In many ways it was so bad it was a hoot.

Titus Andronicus, starring Gallagher. (The audience in the first few rows would need to bring sheets of plastic...)

Oh wait, the title's not pretentious enough. We'll need to call it William Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus (because the audience is too stupid and might confuse it with Tom Clancy's Titus Andronicus or Danielle Steele's Titus Andronicus).

When I was 11 or 12, I wrote a musical romance about young people trying to make it in L.A. It was full of Mariah Carey songs. The title song from Sunset Boulevard was in there also. Unfortunately I can't find it to share how awful it was with the rest of the world.

"Bailout!", the most expensive musical in Theatre history with absolutely nothing worthwhile for all that money. (But it just keeps running and somehow finds new infusions of cash!)
