Getting friends in to musicals is hard because when they ask what it’s about you have to be like “15 year olds having sex” or “a plant from outer space that takes over the world” or “teenagers killing people for fun” or “Alexander Hamilton”

“7 minorities deal with crushing poverty and the looming specter of death by being a dick to their landlord”

“Sesame Street, but like… for adults”

“This one time in the 1830s a bunch of college students decided to fight the entire French government and…it didn’t go very well.”

“Argentinian gold digger teaches her country the joys of fascism.”

“Disfigured guy in the friendzone thinks his student owes him a relationship for teaching her how to sing.”

“Woman who sucks at being a nun becomes a homewrecker, flees from the Nazis with new family.”

“presidential assassins” 

“The ridiculously complicated love lives of anthropomorphic trains.”

The Newsboys’ Strike of 1899.

The secret life of cats

A factory that makes shoes, for drag queens.

A dance audition where whoever has the best childhood trauma story gets a speaking role.

Organ repossession

Jesus’ Crucifixion, set to funky rock

The first two Evil Dead movies condensed into one coherent plot and you’re the one who gets sprayed in blood.

So there are these monks…

So these two guys are writing a musical and get two of their friends to take part in it…

Ok, so like everything above, and a lot of Shakespeare jokes, mashed together.

Hey kids, let’s put on a show in a barn

All the people who have ever tried to kill a President of the United States hanging out together.

Somehow a love triangle is more important than the entire French Revolution.

Jesus and friends set to lighter funky rock

An Aristophanes comedy but with references to the Bush administrations’ lies about the Iraq war

a con man successfully swindles an entire town out of their money for weeks and does not experience a single consequence

the annual spelling be at a local highschool

lions experience a fascist coup

Sensationalist media, but with jazz!

A comic strip nobody likes, and not even the parts that are actually in the paper, just the meet-cute origin that doesn’t have anything to do with fighting smugglers

Man attacks inanimate objects, hooker cringes with second-hand embarrassment.

The Little Mermaid, but happening inside Starship Troopers.

Okay, but I don’t actually think you have to explain to anyone that Cats is about the secret life of cats. It’s literally called Cats. It’s exactly what it says on the tin. The movie adaptation, on the other hand…
