My only question is...
« on: December 14, 2016, 02:29:37 PM »
Why didn't I think of this?

A guy I know has apparently written a musical based on the Michael Larson story.

I know nothing more about it yet,  but it does seem like a good idea. The writer is a good guy, and a talented one. Watch this space.

Well, while we're on the topic, a theater in Minnesota will apparently be performing a play about Larson in January, though it doesn't appear to be a musical:

Yes, one play is titled "Big Bucks" and the other "Big Money".

When it's time for intermission, everyone on stage freezes, and then the actor playing The Host steps forward...

Better still, The Host freezes too, and the actor's twin brother steps forward...

Please tell me there are consolation prize plugs over the end curtain call.
