I wonder if they can get permission to use "In Your Eyes" in a Broadway musical.
That's insane troll logic!

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And the tender ballad "I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen"
This one wil kill.
Followed by the searing social commentary, "Why can't you be in a good mood? How hard is it to decide to be in a good mood and be in a good mood once in a while?"
Man. This show is gonna run for a century. Move over Cats the chorus at the Gas 'n Sip is gunning for YOU.

Seriously? Oklahoma? Godspell? Sweeney Todd? Rent?
That was sort of in jest.
Rent?
One of my friends was Jonathan Larsen's assistant for the workshop production of Rent. He thought it was the biggest pile of crap ever and was amazed when it went on to be a monster hit.
He also worked on Urinetown, and was a big fan.
I say musicals: popcorn for the masses!!

And of course, that showstopper "You must chill!"

Given recent crossover trends, I'm suprised this hasn't actually happened yet. Peter Gabriel could write the score.
I'm sure Heart will be writing the score.

Unless you're Sondheim. Or Adam Guitell.

We must write this musical. Now. Gather the talent.
I suggest that You Must Chill should be a sprightly, yet with a somber undertone, dance number with a chorus line of chicken-suited men.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I despise Rent. However, I love the idea of a Say Anything musical, if only for the chicken-suited kickline.
Not that I have the time to look it up, but are there any studies done on depression and/or chemical dependency in actors or visual artists (or actors vs. visual artists)?
(As an aside, a running joke was that actors are alcoholics because their show is done in time to catch quality time at the bar, and musicians tend toward drug use because the set usually ends around bar close. I don't think it's entirely true, but....)
