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.

*jaw drops*

I was in the pit orchestra for my high school's productions of Moby Dick and Metropolis, did some of the special effects (Futura's transformation) for Metropolis, and was on the crew for Weird Romance (our one-act excerpt, the first story).

I had never expected to see them mentioned together outside of that context.

Hee. There were some really wild, and quite good, British musicals around the end of the 80s. My three faves are Metropolis, Moby Dick, and the staging of the movie version of The Wizard of Oz.
