The New Musical Era

After seeing Mamma Mia recently, I've decide that a decidedly fun way of spending time would be to write musical scripts. Of course, Mamma Mia was inspired by the musical workings of ABBA, so thus, I wondered, could not other artists be taken and epic comedic stories put on stage as well? Say, what about a musical inspired by the works of Starship Jefferson, Journey, The Police, Queen, or even Boyz II Men? The possibilities are endless, simply either make a compilation of best of... or simply take an album and fit all the songs somehow into some sort of convoluted story line. It makes musical theater that much more interesting when you can sing along to the songs.

Jefferson Starship's vid in itself is a musical, a most beautiful production at that

We should put our own spin on that
