From bathtubnz, posting in mst3k, a promo page. Guess we'll find out tonight if I should dig up the songs I was working on years ago....

Given how well you did with "The Last Hero on Earth," I'm surprised nobody's approached you with the idea of doing music for a musical. And when I say "approached you," I mean with some upfront cash, an existing story and a contract for music rights/profit sharing in hand.

Think about it. A show like "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," with a small on-stage country band, worked beautifully. Tom makes great music with a guitar and a double handful of computer recording. Who better to write for a small theatrical production?

I'd do it, but my theatrical production budget for this quarter is going into an extra bowl of gruel.

In that case, try not to listen if stevemb's cell phone ever rings in your presence.

In somewhat the same area, I just today listened to the original cast album for "Evil Dead: The Musical". It was, I'm sorry to say, awful.

I heard some of the songs and from what I heard, it could have been good if they just got better singers for chrissake.

Really? Strong disagreement from this end. The tunes, while energetic, were generic pastiche. The lyrics were a motley compendium of bad rhymes, worse scansion, and stale jokes.
