This just in, some Farkers are reading "Broadway World." Fabulous.

A play?! Well this is the first I've heard of it.

Sounds interesting.

STELLLLAAAA!
STELLLLAAAA!
Can'tcha hear me yell-a?
You're puttin' me through hell-a!
Steeeella...
STELLLAAAA!

What's a paperboy to

dooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?

SIMPSONS STREETCAR THREAD



Long before the Superdome, where the Saints of football play...
Lived a city that the damned call home, hear their hellish rondelet...
New Orleans! Home of pirates, drunks and whores
New Orleans! Tacky overpriced souvenir stores
If you want to go to hell, you should take a trip
To the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip'
New Orleans! Stinking, Rotten, vomiting, vile
New Orleans! Putrid, brackish, maggotty, foul
New Orleans! Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank
New Orleans!

Unfortunately the production is NOT a musical. Nice job, Subby.

Streetcar!

You can always depend on the kindness of strangers
to buck up your spirits and shield you from danger!
And here's a tip from Blanche you won't regret:
A stranger's just a friend you haven't met,
you haven't met.
STREETCAR!

.....tonight, you will all be transformed from dead-eyed suburbanites into white hot grease fires of pure entertainment!"

Never saw the Simpsons version. Did they get the name of the streetcar Blanche took to Stella and Stanley's house correct?

Almost everyone gets that wrong.

Will this bewitching floozie
Seduce this humble newsie?

I'm not an easy man to work for. While directing Hats Off to Chanukkah, I reduced more than one cast member to tears. Did I expect too much from fourth graders? The review "Play enjoyed by all"... speaks for itself.

So many babies.

Best Episode Ever

/Especially loved the Ayn Rand School for Tots

simpsonfan: I'd like to see the Harold Hecuba 'Hamlet' musical.

I strongly agree with that.

T.M.S.: Never saw the Simpsons version. Did they get the name of the streetcar Blanche took to Stella and Stanley's house correct?

Almost everyone gets that wrong.

It's not covered. Most of the plot isn't, really. The play/musical is simply a backdrop for the 'A' story about Homer's indifference to what's going on in Marge's life. That and a vehicle to make as many Broadway/theatre jokes as possible.

Excellent, classic episode. The 'B' story about Maggie's escapades at the Ayn Rand School for Tots is great, as well.

Bad babies go in the box!

Jakevol2: big deal. I have already seen it performed as an opera.

Let us hope the Broadway version is at least more lyrical than was that thing Previn created. If I never hear the phrase "Napoleonic Code" sung in operatic tones again, that is just A-OK by me. If your music and libretto make Renee Fleming founder...

Good job, Submittard. Broadway = musical. Right. It is easy to be an expert on stuff from your mother's basement in Possum Pouch, AK. Did you even RTFA?

I'd much rather see the Planet Of The Apes musical

/couldn't find a Simpsons clip that wasn't edited

Now here's a tip from Blanche you won't regret.

A stranger's just a friend you haven't met. You ha-ven't met... Streetcar!

The Dreaded Rear Admiral: The 'B' story about Maggie's escapades at Great Escape from the Ayn Rand School for Tots is great, as well.

This.

Excellent episode all around.

Subby got it wrong (dang it). Read the article: it's just a revival of the play--not a musicalization.

Thanks for that.

I was mostly just trolling for someone to cry "The streetcar in the play was called Desire dumbass".

Cause like no one says "play it again Sam" in Casablanca, the streetcar in that show is NOT called Desire.

I.. what? I really thought there already was a musical. How could there not be?

/still waiting for "Godot!"

jrshull: Good job, Submittard. Broadway = musical. Right. It is easy to be an expert on stuff from your mother's basement in Possum Pouch, AK. Did you even RTFA?

Did you meant to say Alaska (AK) or Arkansas (AR)?

I'm pretty sure there are no possums in Alaska. On the other hand, there are no basements in Arkansas.
