On a lighter note...

I kind of posted about this earlier, but now with the advent of the new hit musical Rock of Ages, it's gotten me thinking a little more.  While the concept of shoving as many great radio hits into some semblance of a storyline would be cool, wouldn't it be that much more hilarious if it were entirely out of context?  I think that's part of what made Mamma Mia a great hit, well sort of.  Not that I don't want to see Rock of Ages, I totally do, but the story is too contrived to fit these songs in, of course, that's probably the easiest way to do it, but what if, what if we took something completely unrelated and then throw in stuff that marginally works?  I'm not claiming this would be an immediate hit, but it definitely would make things interesting, and I think hilarity would ensue.  For example, I love Phantom of the Opera, and I'm sure now Andrew Lloyd Webber would be turning in his grave to see me do this to his musical, but you feasibly could replace the score with songs by The Police, and it would still kind of work.  I mean, I can totally see the Phantom singing Every Move You Make rather than Music of the Night or something.  Someone is now going to throw something at me, so I'll stop.
