I mean seriously, people are acting like this musical is the second coming of sexy Jesus? And all the talk and idolizing Marilyn Monroe, somebody the audience likely doesn't care about at all, if they even know who she is, comes across as total BS. It comes across as cheesy and false as a Glee theme episode where suddenly every is in love with, obsessed and declaring the many ways the artist of the week changed their lives.
In one episode where they cast the ex-lover as Joe Dimagio and suddenly everyone is talking like Dimagio is some american legend? Even going so far as to say how proud his son will be that he will get to play Dimagio? SERIOUSLY? Does anyone under the age of 50 even really know or care who Dimagion even is? And the dude was not some attractive, muscle bound heart throb modle either.
Now I just leave the room when my wife decides to watch. All I hear reminds me of a bad Brady Bunch episode - "Marilyn Marilyn Marilyn!"
That said, I do like the 'musical' songs I've heard so far but that's because of Shaiman and Wittman. I can't stand the Glee-like pop song interludes.
maybe it would've been original, but it would require ideal like Marylin Monroe, Zombie's on Mars. The musical. :)
