no i know... during the Great Depression (the happiest time in American history)a rich bald millionaire pedophile "buys" a little red-headed orphan girl all the while ignoring the advances of his sexually frusrated secretary driving her to insanity.

A bunch of cats prance around and sing some crappy Andrew Lloyd Webber songs and then hold an ET-esque funeral for a dying cat.

or...

A phantom haunts a Paris opera house while singing the same Andrew Lloyd Webber song over and over again.

Not funny but I'm bored.

How about a black maid of a Jewish family who hangs out in a basement with a talking washing machine and other dancing and singing family appliances singing bad R&B. Oh wait...

That one sucks too.

By the way, I met the kid who played the boy in "Caroline or Change." His name is Harrison Chad. I know you all are gonna say "Yeah,the stage door!" but I actually met him at All County Choir for Nassau County on Long Island. I didn't tell him "Caroline" sucked and all. (I'm not that mean.)
He also does the voice for the Monkey characthter of Boots on "Dora the Explorer."

I liked CATS, POTO & Caroline...!!!

But while I'm posting, I'll say a musical about a town where people are taxed to pee is downright ridiculous (even though it's one of my favorite shows ).

a musical about abortion, with singing mother and fetus.....

(and I am pro-choice, before anyone asks)

not to get defensive or anything buuuut:

Caroline was brilliant. and if you didn't like it than you obviously have no heart!

:-P

I say we set "Gigli" to music. I couldn't tell you what the plot would be because after watching that movie for 15 minutes I turned it off for my mental sanity. For good measure we could have a bunch of extravagantly costumed cats chasing aroung character from "Carrie", and we could run the same ALW song on a loop, a la "Phantom". We would make sure to throw in the aformentioned singing fetus too. Pure glory right there, let me tell you.

Caroline-Q-or-Tbo:
That really was unkind. I do have plenty of heart. You're talking to man who openly weeps durring Carousel and Mary Poppins and admits it.
I thought Caroline's libretto really ruined the show. I wasn't overly impressed by that.
So I'm sorry if you think the people who don't like the show have no heart.

Yeah, and I weep at cheesy sentimentality as well. I just didn't like that show at all, and now I'm heartless. Wow, you remind me of a Nazi who kills people because they don't agree with their ideology. Productive...

"Vincent Price and the Amazing Technicolour (and by technicolour he means purple) Dream Mantle-Cape Combo"

Essentially the same as the ALW show, but with some creative Broadway-within-Broadway casting:

Joseph: Vincent Price ("Isn't he dead?" "That's what he wanted you to think!")
Jacob: Che
Joseph's brothers: Jellicle Cats
Hairy bunch of Ishmaelites: Elphaba and a dummy with her face pasted on
Potiphar's wife: Edna Turnblad
Pharoah: The Phantom of the Opera


And so on, and so forth.
