Today I saw Spamalot. Again.
It's my second time seeing it, and it's still fun. I would love to have seen it with the original cast, but I live pretty far from NYC!
Why can't there be more musicals for people with nerdy hobbies?
"Deep Blue Kasparov" - all the excitement of endless days of Kasparov and a computer playing chess together! Drama mounts when Kasparov thinks the computer is cheating. Who will win??
Songs include Alapin' my Sicilian and Less Slav, more Semi-Slav.
"The Collector" - One man's quest for the 1938 Action Comics #1, and social acceptance from women. He finds neither but eventually finds Action Comics #7, which everyone knows is total crap. A modern tragedy in musical format.
Songs include Why am I alone Again? and Batman would Totally Lose.
"Rubik!" - The shortest musical ever, lasting only about 10.36 seconds. We could only afford that one french dude. Lasts several hours when he's sick and a random audience member takes over.
Songs include Ready, Set, Done! and Intermissions are for Dorks.

OK, maybe I do understand why there aren't more musicals for nerds.
I hope the rubik's musical only has snippets from the songs.
ReplyDeleteOr are they the introduction and finale to the main event?
I want to see Optimus Prime sing opera.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't!
DeleteIt would have to be a "Jazz" opera, and of course a "Bumblebee" on stage with Optimus would be icing on the cake.
