It is about time, darlings! After all Kurt Weill musicalized early twentieth century New York city life in "Street Scene," which is mostly billed as an opera, but when you get to the midway Act One number, "Moon Faced And Starry Eyed," which, with dance, wakes audiences up, the show goes, for a moment into the musical realm.
Why not do the same with "Fear Thy Neighbor?" A set consisting of four spaces atop one another (think of what Hitchcock did in "Rear Window"), representing each neighbor's apartment, from which they vent their own frustrations musically, and when they confront each other, come down to the street, stage center.
Each neighbor may not be White Trash, but they sure behave like it. And the show just HAS to work in the crazy woman banging on the wall and piling boxes atop the neighbor's front porch. Not to mention the Korean guy chasing after Karen---Karrrrrrrrrreennnnnnn! You are my fwwwwwwwwwwwwend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I am telling you, this could win the TONY Award for best musical--especially this season, when, well, what the hell has there been so far????????????????????????
Book this into a theater soon, where audiences will have a time cheering on, or booing the respective neighbors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really, it could be the next "L'il Abner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I don’t get ID anymore.
ReplyDeleteApparently the cable company monitors which channels you favor and then demands more money for said channels.
Evil geniuses.
