No one seems to have any original ideas lately. It seems like all the studios and coorperations just want to rehash old ideas into new ones. Fast and Furious anyone? Melrose Place: The Next Generation? You know when Spiderman gets the greenlight to become a fucking musical, the bigwigs have officially run out of new ideas. But don't get me wrong. I'm not judgin'. Instead I want to to jump onto this sinking ship. And may I propose...... INTERVENTION: THE MUSICAL!
I'm obsessed with A&E's Intervention. In particular, I'm obsessed with the episode starring Christy, the meth addicted alcoholic stripper. In case you're un-familiar with the spectacle that IS Christy, watch this video below. If you can "handle her" (her words, not mine), congratulations! You're going to Hell. Don't sweat it though. I'll see you there. I'll be the one chained to Andy Rooney at the 24 hour Pizza Bar.
Did you hear that? In the middle of her intervention, she asks why there isn't any "music up in this mother?" This woman is practically screaming to have her life made into a musical. Let's look at the stats. First of all, she's a stripper. You know that would guarantee some amazing musical numbers. Second of all, she's heartbreaking AND hilarious. A good musical should make you cry AND laugh. And thirdly, every other word out of her mouth deserves the songwriting treatment. Some of the quote inspired numbers could include....
"I got what I wanted!"
"When the devil possesses me, I love it"
"I feel so sorry for you (I really do)"
"All the movie stars are doing it!"
"A positive plus a negative is I don't know"
And the show stopper finale: "Oh my God! That's awesome dude!"
