Russians kill off a smelly village filled with people who talk to the sky and get carried away about a sewing machine? COUNT ME OUT!
No SIDE SHOW dissing! It didn't attract people but it had some awsome tunes in it.
alright, we've got a transvestite from another planet with a really creepy servant whose goal is to create the perfect man? gotta be nuts.
just heard they're writing a musical all about who will win a game of craps in a sewer...HAS THE WORLD GONE MAD?!
What about a story that has two fathers that are pretending to have a fight, so that their son and daughter can hook up? That would never fly.

"The Declaration of Independence? Guys, reality cheque, okay? Snoozer!"
personally, the chubby girl who thinks she can integrate the blacks and whites AND dance on her favorite show when there are people WAY more hotter than her? HA. will NEVER work.
Starlyicist, that sounds like it could become a cult classic. I would probably see it on stage around, oh, say 70 times. I *might* even see the movie (if they made one) somewhere around 3000 times.
Crazy, huh??
absolutely MAD Matt. no way.
A bunch of puppets singing how awful it is to be them?
A musical based on the Gospel According to St. Matthew???? Nah

How about a strange show about Berlin night life in the early 30's with German prostitutes etc. singing!
Maybe they could make a movie out of it and have Liza Minelli in it...
Since when does the Wicked Witch of the West have a conscience? Or a name? WHAT IS BROADWAY THINKING?!?!?!?

Wait- so the kid with the bar mitzvah has a newly-outed gay dad? And his mom got together with the father's psychiatrist? And the catering is by the lesbians from next door?
That sucks. Next!
(And I'm honored to have at least partly inspired this thread. What fun!)

oh mominator that sounds horrendous!! I don't know who'd remember that movie! psh!
Well forget about making a musical about two murdering women and a lawyer who knows how to use the media, that would never fly...
And the story of a boy who can fly and doesn't want to grow up?
What about that crazy musical about a father and his three daughters who each get married off. Violinist something?

I was thinking a show where we relive why people killed Presidents and have them explain their side. Wouldn't it be funny if Sondheim contributed?
It'd be a hooT!

"Okay, Dick, Oscar, we gotta talk, see? I know, I know, you lucked out with that Oklahoma thing, but this... a girl and her wife-beating husband who commits suicide? Look, guys, I know you want to be different and all that, but show me something else, okay?"
personally, the thought of 5 hairy, ugly, old and fat guys stripping b/c they don't have anything better to do than collect unemployment? um, not exactly chippendales!

Okay, get this: It's a musical about the Westernization of Japan- from the Japanese point of view! What kind of a weirdo would write that junk?
probably the same freak that thought we'd be interested in a story with a hod-podge of fairy tale characters.

"A musical about TRAINS???
(Damn this is fun.)
What about a show where a nun goes to look after a bunch of bratty kids and ends up falling in love with the widowed father?
Crazy!
Almost as crazy as the time someone told me about some musical about this unfaithful writer who is writing a screenplay about a detective solving a lost and found case.
Or worse - the story of a couple from newlyweds to their twilight years!
