How About A Full Blown, Lesbian Musical?????????????????????

                                Is "Fun Home" actually a lesbian musical?  I say not.  Lesbianism is key to the plot elements, but more importantly, I think "Fun Home" is a musical about sexual self-discovery, as almost every character in it, including the mother (Judy Kuhn) in the magnificent "Days And Days," is coming to some sort of terms with themselves.

                                 It is ground breaking.  But now, that ground is open for a flat out lesbian musical. And here is what I propose.

                                   The stage is dark. Suddenly, light falls upon a park bench, stage center. Music begins, and, from stage right, enters an older woman, who takes a seat, and sings to the audience a song about lesbian loneliness. Perhaps she is clutching the Radclyffe Hall classic.

                                       She sits quietly.  Another woman appears, stage left, takes a seat on the bench, and the two strike up a conversation.  The older woman discovers that the younger will be teaching at the school she has been for years. The two begin a duet about yearnings--but are those yearnings the same, for each.

                                         Thus, the start of the musical version of "Notes On A Scandal," which encompasses lesbianism, obsession, cats, U-Haul trucks, catfishing, like that Mary Kay Letourneau--everything cliched component needed for a lesbian musical!  With the rest cast--how about Kathy Bates and Jessie Mueller??????---it could be a hit.  Ending with a cameo by Ann Morrison as Anabel.

                                            This would be the "Springtime For Hitler" of the Broadway season.  Its mixture of camp and claptrap would sweep the TONY Awards??????????  I can see it in lights, now!!!!!!!!!!

                                               And clandestine lunches of creamed spinach and poached eggs would go on the rise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
