I had the second lead in a Dickens play in school, I have experience, put me in .

old original jb Sep 12 2005 11:51 AM Is this just a ploy to bring the Bard out from hiding?

Or maybe he's already here, lost among the thicket of new screen names.

Does my daughter get a big solo?

Can I play Barry Lyons? I'm already going bald, and I can't run or throw either.

Rotblatt Sep 12 2005 12:15 PM

I call dibs on "Cahnfidence"! It's sure to bring down the house!

SwitchHitter Sep 12 2005 12:20 PM

If you fly me to NY and put me up, I'm willing to be in it. I'll be Anna Benson.

Edgy DC Sep 12 2005 12:34 PM

Part of me wants to be in on the writing. Another part is all about costume design.

Johnny Dickshot Sep 12 2005 12:55 PM

This is the greatest idea ever.

Valadius Sep 12 2005 12:57 PM

I'm all for writing, and possibly acting. But definitely writing - I think of myself as a good writer, and I've demonstrated that in the Ogden Nash thread, I think.

Valadius Sep 12 2005 12:59 PM

Are we doing it chronologically, or with a mixing of different eras, or what? Who will we focus on? What kind of ideas do you have on this, KC?

Rotblatt Sep 12 2005 01:02 PM

Can we get Ted Danson to play Armando?

HahnSolo Sep 12 2005 03:54 PM

Why not try to get Tim McGraw on board? Seriously. He could even play his dad. And you'd get to meet Faith Hill. Hey, this is sounding better and better.

Looking around for a title and some songs to suggest. More to come.... Later

How about calling the musical “Met Side Story”? Here are a few song ideas to get us going. Enjoy, Later ************************************************** When You’re a Met When You’re a Met you’re a Met all the way, from your first fumbled ball to your last stupid play. When You’re a Met you’re a defensive man, and you’re offensive only to fans in the stands. You really can’t hit ground balls? You cannot pick ‘em. You’ re dropping fly balls? Have you tried your batting stick ‘um? When You’re a Met and you play out at Shea, when you hit a line drive there’s a glove in the way. Your catcher’s in left, nobody can hit leadoff. Your fielders just sit and watch the homers take off. When You’re a Met you’re a Met all the way, from your first fumbled ball to your last stupid play. When you’re a Met the fans have their say They never pay to see you playyyyyyy da da da da dum da da da da da da da dum (dancers exit) (music fades) AND ************************************************************************ If you’ve seen the movie “West Side Story” you’ll remember the scene in which the kids gang called the Jets are sitting on the steps in front of an apartment building and suddenly get rousted by the neighborhood police officer named Officer Krupke. But what if that happened today, with the kids sitting there talking are the Mets fan club? Maybe this would have been their song: Enjoy, Later ****************************************** ACTION Dear kindly Sergeant Krupke, You gotta understand, It's just their chokin’ up-ke That gets us out of hand. They’re hittin’ like they’re flunkies, They’re all like in a slump. Golly Moses, natcherly we're punks! ACTION AND METS Gee, Officer Krupke, we're very upset; They never drive in crucial runs that they oughta’ get. They ain't no bad people, They’re not misunderstood. They just gotta’ start using all that wood! ACTION Swing the wood! ALL Swing the wood; Swing the wood, There is untapped good! If they just started swingin’ all that wood! SNOWBOY: (Spoken) that’s a touchin' good story. ACTION: (Spoken) Lemme tell it to the world! SNOWBOY: Just tell it to the judge. ACTION Dear kindly Judge, your Honor, The season’s going rough. They’re stranding all those runners, New guys, but same old stuff. As a fan they thought they had me, But somehow I was had. Leapin' lizards! That's why I'm so mad! DIESEL: (As Judge) Right! Officer Krupke, you're really a square; This boy don't need a judge, he needs an analyst's care! It's just his neurosis that oughta be curbed. He's psychologic'ly disturbed! ACTION I'm disturbed! JETS We're disturbed, we're disturbed, We're the most disturbed, Like we're psychologic'ly disturbed. DIESEL: (Spoken, as Judge) In the opinion on this court, this child is depraved on account he roots for a team that can’t get runners home. ACTION: (Spoken) Hey, I'm depraved on account I'm deprived. DIESEL: So take him to a headshrinker. ACTION (Sings) Cairo is a choker, They got Beltran hittin’ three. Clutch hittin’ they ain’t mastered, And Cameron swings too free. Piazza needs to grow his moustache, Menky should wear a dress. Goodness gracious, that's why I'm a mess! A-RAB: (As Psychiatrist) Yes! Officer Krupke, you're really a slob. This boy don't need a doctor, just let them all do their job. Society's played him a terrible trick, And sociologic'ly he's sick! ACTION I am sick! ALL We are sick, we are sick, We are sick, sick, sick, Like we're sociologically sick! A-RAB: In my opinion, this child don't need to have his head shrunk at all. He roots for a team with an anti-RBI disease! ACTION: Hey, they got an RBI disease! A-RAB: So take him to a social worker! ACTION Dear kindly social worker, The team I root for sucks. They should all be a soda jerkers, Which means like be a schumck. They’re not all anti-social, This is their only quirk. Gloryosky! That's why I'm a jerk! BABY JOHN: (As Female Social Worker) Eek! Officer Krupke, you've done it again. This team jus don’t need hitters, it needs some help in the pen. It ain't just a question of misunderstood; Deep down inside them, they’re no good! ACTION They’re no good! ALL They’re no good, They’re no good! They’re no earthly good, The team we love is no damn good! DIESEL (As Judge) The trouble is they’re crazy. A-RAB (As Psychiatrist) They just hit little dinks. BABY JOHN (As Female Social Worker) The trouble is they’re lazy. DIESEL The trouble is they stink. A-RAB The trouble’s leads they’re blowing. BABY JOHN The Trouble’s games they’ve blown. ALL Krupke, we got troubles of our own! Gee, Officer Krupke, We're down on our knees, 'Cause no one wants a team with anti- RBI disease. Gee, Officer Krupke, What are we to do? Gee, Omar Minaya, Krup you! ***************************************************************** In progress: Bonilla The fans keep on cursing Bonilla… Carlos Beltran’s in A-mer-i-ca Making big bucks in A-mer-i-ca…… ********************************************************************* C'mon Mole, give me some help here...

i think youse guys need a production attorney / general manager, who is experienced at writing librettos.

seawolf17 Sep 13 2005 10:14 AM

Can we include "Hooray For Hamulack"? It's in another thread somewhere.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2005 10:23 AM

FWIW, D-Dad can actually sing. I mean, really sing (our daughter got it from somewhere, and it certainly wasn't from me). And he's old, slow and white - perhaps he can be Todd Zeile!

Diamond Dad Sep 13 2005 10:25 AM Who's Old???

Slow and White -- guilty. But who's Old@@???? I'd rather play Davey Johnson

Edgy DC Sep 13 2005 10:31 AM

I see you as more of a Kelvin Chapman.

Rockin' Doc Sep 13 2005 06:43 PM

If you need someone to play Rick Reed, I'm your guy. I'm only a few years older than Reed, I can throw about as hard as he can (now), I weigh about the same as he does (though I'm several inches shorter), and I definitely have the southern accent down.

ScarletKnight41 Sep 13 2005 07:45 PM

But you're not prematurely bald.

Zvon Sep 13 2005 07:57 PM

MFS62---thats a hilarious spoof of West Side Story. Classic. Ill design the sets and run the art department. And Im willing to play a minor role if I get paid scale.
