From that land we call “Why would they” I happened to find out about a strange potentially new stage musical that just might catch on big. With all the success of other unexpected conversions to musicals (Evil Dead anyone?) I am not surprised that they would consider this.
The Force.net offers:
“We were asked to do it for another school, but that didn’t pan out so we’re doing it here,” John Fischer, College alumnus and co-writer of “Star Wars! The Musical,” said when asked why he and his partners chose “Star Wars.”
“It was a creative outlet,” Dave Breidenstine, a co-writer and senior from Temple University, added.
… Despite the play’s length (the audience was asked to complete a survey to help cut parts they didn’t like) it was amazing how practically every other word had the audience in hysterics.
The ridiculous dialogue riffed on the amount of time that has passed since the original movies were made, featuring lines like: “If we’re so technologically advanced, why do we have to go to a bar to find a pilot? Can’t we just do a Google search?”‘
I do hope that last line was not the best example of the hysterical humour to be found in this musical. Any Star Wars fan would know that despite its technological advances, Star Wars took place a Long long time ago…
Besides, you can’t get the internet out in the dessert noobs!
