Mondo Musicals

Interesting idea for a site -- an idea I've vaguely considered for a long while now, but this fine fellow has gone and done it, and started out with an in-depth look at Little Shop Of Horrors. We've exchanged e-mail, and I'm probably going to write up Metropolis, Moby Dick, Weird Romance, and Flowers For Algernon for him over the next few weeks. When I can. Copious Free Time, y'know. ;)

Any fun or weird musicals you want to make sure we know about? Feel free to provide links.

I've long said that Batman deserved lampooning.

(sung to phantom of the opera)
I am a millionaire, of Gotham fame.
If you should give a care, Bruce Wayne's my name.
Oh but I've secrets here, down in my lair.
The Batman is my secret alter life, whose fate I share.

Was orphaned as a boy; my parents dead.
Cried diamond tears for them as the killer fled.
But I shall pay him back, him and his kind.
The Batman's gonna kick some crooked ass, and tweak your mind.

Where did I get this thing, this suit I wear?
Amazon has no sales on rubber wear.
Why did I choose this path? This misery?
Cuz Batman is more entertaining LARP than RPG.

You did know that Jim Steinman worked on that (http://www.freewebs.com/batman_themusical/home.htm), right?

Whoa! Cool! And here I thought I was being inventive... Pity they didn't actually do it.
