I've got two left feet and they're on backwards!

Watched the REEFER MADNESS musical on Showtime for the third time and enjoyed it even more than the first time. I went hunting for a soundtrack, but all there's only the LA cast recording. Still, any port in a storm when the choices are playing it on the stereo or forcing my friends to harsh, direct action by singing the songs all day long.

Off-Broadway seems loaded with a lot of gimmick shows, and it's hard to separate the good from the charitably good. Hedwig and The Angry Inch is a good example--I remember reading about it and thinking "interesting gimmick". At least it made more sense than "Tony and Tina's Wedding" or "Nunsense". But I had to see the movie to really get it. How you could watch all those musicals that don't work to get to the ones that do sounds like a tough slog, more so than with movies. If a musical doesn't work out for you, that's pretty much your night, right there.

I followed the Amazon recommended links from REEFER MADNESS to a few others...ZOMBIE PROM, BATBOY...it can make you forget the ugly specter of Andrew Lloyd Webber in a hurry. Knowing as little as I do about musicals, it's tempting to dive in, but REEFER MADNESS is such a beautiful nugget of joy, I fear diluting it. Ah well.
