Would you believe.. WATCHMEN the MUSICAL?!

[Cth]

Found some sample lyrics, no link yet..

Thoughts?

(ado-wop)
Smiley Face Button
With a little blood stain
How we all shivered
at the funeral in the rain

Smiley Face Button
Your meaning has it's place
You're a plot device when you're picked up
By Mobile-Blob-Face

(fast tempo)
Saturday the 19th my hands encircle Laurie's face
1981 she's moving to Rocefeller base
It's weird to think of how time
is all at once and not at all
Just now it was 1971 and now it's in the fall
My skin is colored blue and my structure's all a mess
People argue in 1966 and I just have to confess
It's 1948 and while graduating I feel out of place
but that's ok in 1985 I make a glass palace out in space

---

(Nathan Lane)
Impotence is plaguing me
Cannot get it up, you see
My manhood deserves to have it's rights
So now I will don a pair of tights!

Moon shining like a globe
on a king's royal septor
I'll fight some crime to get it up
and fuck the Silk Specter!

---

(climatic soft song)
Ozy (sung): You heroes, I admire you
But your view of the world is so small
What I plan to do with change everything
And it may save you all...

Nite Owl (spoken): Veidt, you can't! It's a hopeless black fantasy! When were you planning to do it?!

Ozy (sung): You fool don't you see
Your mind works so slow
My plan has already been accomplished
Thirty-five mintues agooooooooooooooo

Rorschach and Nite Owl (screaming): NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(Guitars are wailing as the alien drops onto the New York set piece and shit gets fucked up. Lots of strobe lights, fog, and other shit of that nature)

------------

From what I gather, two problems seem to be plaguing the production at the moment.

First, the running time of 3 and a half hours has been a major source of debate.

And second, producers are debating on yanking the controversial "Individually Wrapped Sugar Cube Boogie" song that Rorschach performs in Act I. Reportedly Lane has threatened to walk if they do it, so everyone's walking on eggshells. Hrm.

Songs are being written by a pair of relative unknowns, whose past work includes a failed attempt at a From Hell musical

I may not be high class
I may not have the smarts
but someday I hope
to win over some hearts!

A coachman's job ain't easy
in fact it's quite a pain
especially when your boss
is a mason who's gone insane.

The lyricists need to learn the difference between it's and its.

Otherwise, I have no opinion.

BWAH-HA-HURM-HA-!!!!

Nathan Lane sure is busy, what with the Hicks bio-pic and all. Hope he doesn't walk from the production, he was great in THE ODD COUPLE.

You missed a couple bits from the From Hell musical. I don't have the link anymore but I have them saved from an email that sent portions of it to me:

From Hell the Musical with the opening number, "The Cleanest Whores in London":

"A plot! A plot! A sinister plot!
Hatched by four whores
All of whom are hot!"

WHORES:
The Four Whores of the Apocolypse as clean as clean can be
And we are going to get our ransom from the royalty!
Finally we are going to get our sunny day!

MARIE KELLY:
And stick around 'cuz later on I will become gay!

There will also be the poignant number, "Will No One Save the Widow's Son?"

GULL:
Yes, I'm rich and powerful
but it's all from Masonry
And to show that I'm thankful
it'll justify my insanity

The Queen wants whores silenced
for they are just common folk
so I will do her dirty deed
even though I've just had a stroke.

[Dark Sasha]

David Bowie was working on a Watchmen rock Opera actually.

[Evan the Shaggy]

Rorscach: A Soliliquoy

Oh what a horrible wooorrlllddd
A horrible plot will unfuuurlllll
I'm here in this baaarrrr
The truth is so faaaarrrr
What shall we doooOOoooO?

Yes you I have friends
They'll be with me till the end
So now don't you linger
I broke this man's finger

Who killed Edward Blaakkkeee?
Tell me for Goodness Saaakkkeee!

So when are the "I saw Watchmen The Musical and it was...meh" threads going to pop up?

Or posts about how the set and costume design is boring and uninspired by modern standards?

[Big Poot!]

Has "Watchmen" officially sold out? That should be a thread.
