Literally and figuratively.
I was reading the Times online and inside the Theater section I found this. For those not interested in clicking on the link, the article announced that the Stephen King-John Mellencamp musical that was in development for an Atlanta premier at the Alliance Theater was running into script problems and has now delayed its opening.
????WTF??????
Stephen King and John Mellencamp making musicals together? There hasn't been so unholy of a union since Bob Dylan and Twyla Tharp. Whyyyyyyyyyy??????
There are so many other interesting proprieties that deserve to be made into musicals. Why is someone spending their time trying to meld the King of Horror with "a little ditty, 'bout Jack and Diane?" Next you'll be telling me that Kenny Rogers and Jerry Mitchell will be doing a musical together. Or that a series of Jerome Robbins choreography will be created into a show using music from The Who. Just stop it, please, for the love of god, stop!
