You knew it was only a matter of time: Karate Kid: The Musical. (Seems like its engagement has already run, but there's some music available for download.)
Anyone that knows me knows that musicals really aren't my bag, baby. There are a few that I like: South Pacific, Guys and Dolls, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and Little Shop of Horrors. Those have some really catchy songs. Something about all the characters breaking out into song just seems cheesy, though. But with lyrics like this, I think that I can tolerate it:
I'm the evil sensei
It's my evil dojo
I teach evil karate
I'm evil as a mofo
Oh, and there's also a Silence of the Lambs musical.

Unlike Micah, I am a musical fan. I like music and I like stories. And, if you ask me, they're two great tastes that taste great together. I'm just waiting for "Friday the 13th, The Musical". I hear that Jason can play a mean harmonica (through the mask even).
P.S. I think we all need a moment of silence to mourn the passing of one of the great entertainers of our time, Johnny Carson. We haven't seen much of him in the last few years, but he will be missed.
Yeah, I'd heard of JC's passing. He's been out of the limelight for a while, but will definitely be missed. I don't know who had the final say on choosing his successor, but Leno is half the TV host Carson was.
The Rat Pack's "Live and Swingin'" CD is packaged with a DVD of a live performance where a young Johnny Carson is the emcee. Think I'll pop it in tonight.
While you're speaking of musicals. I saw "The Producers" tonight. Very fun. I think even Micah might like it. Heil Hitler!
Actually, that's one that I would like to see. When the movie's released, I'll probably even see it in the theater. The touring production of it came to Cowtown a couple of weeks ago, but I missed out (no student loans anymore, you know).
