"Silence of the Lambs: The Musical" Truth is stranger than Broadway.
When the lamb bleats
When the pig squeals
When I'm feeling sad
I simply slice open the head of a cop
And then I don't feel
So maaaaaaaaad.
*laughs, spills drink, wrecks keyboard*
Everything is better when it's a musical...EVERYTHING!
Spooky Speaks The Truth:
The Billings BarnBurners PlayHouse and Truck Storage seminal world premiere of Chekov's "Saturday Night Fever" was "A Fresh Look at the Russkie Roots of an American Classic" ---Thar Helmsjkold, critic emeritus, The Billings Weekly Blimp (Canning Arts two-color Spring Supplement and Penny-Sav-R)---but many found the 45 minute half-act "missing something, like maybe 3-part Australian falsetto singing."
Thus an American classic was born.
Oh.
That eager fresh-faced kid just outta Acting School from the local j.c. who BLEW US AWAY with his highly stylized depiction of paint =salesman-with-a-dream Tony Manero?
Yep.
Montana's own Jim Loy.
Everything is better when it's a musical...EVERYTHING!
In that case, humanity deserves a musical version of this.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it already exists.
Actually, I'm pretty sure I've seen ads for just such a thing. Too lazy to google, tho.
And now, Spider-Man: The Musical!
Or, more accurately, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.
Turn Off The Dark is a stoopid title. And it's going to be the most expensive production in Broadway history. Somehow, this doesn't bode well.
