Posted: 7/8/04 at 2:46pmWhat 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.

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??

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...

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!)

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!

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!
