  • This is just WRONG....

    Is it just me or does the entertainment industry have far more than a few screws loose?



    Variety.com

    Around the holidays, the biggest challenge for many theater companies is convincing audiences to care about yet another staging of "A Christmas Carol." This season in Atlanta, however, Actor's Express wants to stir up buzz about a less familiar property -- namely, a pedophile musical.

    The Express has already started pushing "Love Jerry," a new tunertuner written and composed by Megan Gogerty that follows the tortured story of Jerry, who develops a sexual relationship with his nephew while trying to stay friends with the boy's father.

    A delicate, often heart-wrenching piece of theater, the show, which preems Jan. 22 at the Express, never descends to shock-value tactics as it explores volatile terrain, and its lilting country songs give the characters emotionally vulnerable texture. Should it manage to attract a crowd, "Love Jerry" could very well leave them cheering.

              I donno...The original was pretty near perfection. How do you improve it by adding a few song and dance routines?

              Yeah, yeah, I know, Tony award winner and all. Just strikes me as another example of the old "Hollywood Out Of Ideas" syndrome.

                  Hmm. Let's see. The ghost of Christmas past could get you thrown in jail. Present could be nice. Future could make you want to claw your eyes out.

                      One of the best attributes of art is to push against social norms and challenge how we think about different subjects. Not to say we should ever sympathize with pedophiles, but at one point people thought it was crazy to show sex and nudity and if some entertainers didn't we'd never have http://forums.murc.ws/showthread.php?t=55192

                      BTW, anyone see The Aristocrats?

                      I think the fact that they are making a musical is more offensive.
