Austin Powers the Musical?
So here's an example of why musicals have a bad name. It's because people take really superficial stories and put cheesey music to them. Why do people feel the need to put these movies like Spiderman and Austin Powers on the stage? Why not take a piece of real theatre that has the audience considering social change and put good music to it? It's because money drives business and people are more likely to spend money on musicals that were once popular movies instead of looking to see theatre with significance. So let's try to make some meaningful musical theatre.

ReplyDeleteI saw this the other day and was talking to Jenna about it. While the subject matter does not give me much hope the people backing it do. One of the co-directors associated with the Book of Mormon might sign onto this project. Nevertheless, I probably would not want to go see Austin Power the Musical.
