In spring 2009, Universal Studios Hollywood theme park will debut a romantic-comedy stage show with “dazzling production numbers” and special effects called...
Creature From the Black Lagoon: The Musical.
Seriously.
This Broadway-style spectacular will feature “state-of-the-art stagecraft, acrobatic choreography and hilarious, toe-tapping music," and is described as “an unexpectedly outrageous, strangely romantic, frequently melodic and often hilarious adventure” that will leave audiences “immersed in the ominous environment of the deepest Amazon” and “enveloped by the exotic sounds and scents of the jungle.” It's timed to catch the publicity surrounding the new Breck Eisner-directed remake of the 1954 classic Universal horror film. Be sure to check out
this larger version of the show's poster.
I'm... speechless. And yet... it
could actually be sort of awesome.
