I told my 11 year old the idea and the first thing out of his mouth was "That's going to be dumb."

| I don't like the idea. It sounds dumb- not like a real play, more like a product tie-in. |

I predict it will go the way of "Superman" the musical. ("It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman" by Charles Strouse) which hit the ground harder than a man of steel.
It would be cool if it was produced by Jack Batman ("Enchanted April") just for the marquee. "BATMAN PRESENTS SPIDERMAN!" And while I'm at it: Should they ever make an "Incredible Hulk" musical, I hope it's a good one just to read the review's headline: "HULK SMASH!" Okay, I'm done. ------------- "None of us really grow up. All we ever do is learn how to behave in public." -- Keith Johnstone |

I actually believe "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman" would be a success today. It was just a little ahead of its time. It got pretty good solid reviews from the critics, but the public just wasn't ready for a musical that was basically about moral relativism. If it were revived, I bet it would run quite a long time. |

Yeah not really sure what angle they will be headed with this show. I do know one thing :
Music by Bono. |

OK I can go you one worse. Try looking up the Toxic Avenger Musical. Yes the first superhero from New Jersey. I don't know much about the musical other than music by the same guy who did "I love your you're perfect now change". I remember the Toxic Avenger movies from the early '80s and loved them, but I love bad B movies. A nerd is dumped into toxic waste by bullies and turns into a heroic monster.

I just got a terrific recording of the musical "Evil Dead: The Musical" which is a camp/musical version of the cult slasher Evil Dead movie franchise. It's wonderful! Funny - and very musical - and very true to the original source (rather like "Little Shop of Horrors"). There's even a chain saw murder song complete with chain saw. If they can make THAT work, they can make Spiderman work! (Heck, they worked it out for SpiderWOman!) ------------- http://tristanrobin.blogspot.com |

Tristanrobin, you have my heart all a flurry. I love everything Bruce Campbell (quite possibly the world's worst actor and I watch love every minute of his stuff, pure B movie heaven) and will be ordering a evil dead musical soundtrack asap. Thanks for the heads up. ------------- Patrick L. Davis Fort Findlay Playhouse |

| One of the companies I've been working with is working on a proposal for Evil Dead for the fall, but rights are pretty tightly restricted. Still, if that comes through, everything else goes out the window. |
