dear leer,

i do believe you promised katherine and i a musical based on mean girls. therefore that should be your first order of business. screw romeo and juliet, clearly mean girls will win!!!

sincerely,
bethany

i remember that!

also, boo on romeo and juliet unless you have some new way of showing it... so overdone.

[cellogeek]

yeah, i know...it was mainly a sarcastic comment, since so far the best I've come up with is "tom cruise: the musical"

however, if I DID have a new way of presenting it, i'd do it in a heartbeat...the base concept is (obviously) timeless, which is why everyone does it.

[stardust3515]

you could try doing 9/11 the opera (high tragedy here we come!)... or a political commentary on the bush regime and how it successfully duped the nation into a bunch of bad ideas... or a darker one predicting the result of global warming. or, if you're looking for a really timeless subject, pick death and show the different sides of death; like the reaction of the dying person, their family, the dog, the other results... the possibilities there are endless AND timeless if you do it right.

*see my comment on previous post*

also, hasn't that been done like, 3012948 times?

[cellogeek]

yeah, yeah it has. and then some. it was mostly sarcastic though.

Here's where my academic training blows minds!

You should, for reference, check out Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter. This is a film in which Christ has decided to come back to earth, but before he can really enact the second coming, he must rid the world of vampires who are devouring all the lesbians in Canada. And it's a musical. Whatever your topic, it must be better than this one. That won't be hard. This is, hands-down, the worst movie I have ever seen, including Vegas in Space.

Have you considered Pat Robertson: The Musical? Or Vanilla Ice: Singing Through the Lawsuits? :-D

As an aside, you rock. We should definitely have MSU/Albion fusion time soon.

I've heard of it. I think it was in a double feature with a zombie hitler reanimation movie.

I kinda like the idea of a Vanilla Ice musical...

Or, ok, hear me out...I know that everyone has seen the Producers, and in turn Springtime for Hitler, but what about an actual musical surrounding Nazi Germany (not in a positive light, of course), or Eva Braun? Or...the Goebels children? I dunno. The mroe I type, the worse it sounds...

There's no time for us,
There's no place for us,
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us

Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever?
There's no chance for us,
It's all decided for us,
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever,
Who dares to love forever,
Who dare who dare,
Who wants to live forever,
When love must die

So touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my world with your fingertips,
And we can have forever,
And we can have forever,
Forever is our today,
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever,
Forever is our today,
Who waits forever anyway?

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

Dear Robot - This song is already in "We Will Rock You," the Queen musical. Sorry that you lose. :D

hey! i'm helping the environment. it's called recycling. ;)

[cellogeek]

actually, I think it's called copy write infringement.

However....Rolling stones musical!!!

Or not.

Or...A Green Day musical...I can call it "time of your life" and fill it with every cliche possible!

or not.

I did have an idea to do soemthing like "Hedwig and the Angry Inch", but only in style, not in content...the idea of a band putting on a concert being the staging for the musical. It's different, interesting, and can be performed pretty much anywhere.
