Star Wars Trilogy MIT Musical

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the how-could-i-not-post-this dept.

ArtieLange writes "The MIT Musical Theatre Group will be staging a musical version of the Star Wars Trilogy (Eps. IV through VI). There will be tap-dancing stormtroopers, singing Ewoks, etc." Apparently tickets are available if you're in the Boston area over the next week. Hopefully someone has the decency to stealth a digital camera in and post torrents before the premiere so it can be just like the features. There's no way it can be the worst Star Wars related thing out there (currently a tie between the Christmas Special and Episode I) even tho the music credits list Elton John and Andrew Loyd Webber along side John Williams.

    "Star Wars" with tap-dancing Storm Troopers!

    This is just so wrong on so many levels. Then again now that I think about it, maybe adding tap dancing storm troopers to episode one would have improved it. My childhood destroyed you have!

    A Star Wars musical and a study on tin foil hats. Why do I keep seeing a major technological university jumping a shark in my head?

      No kidding, between this and seeing all the tremendously elaborate pranks in NightWork, I'm starting to think that the greatest prank that MIT ever pulled was convincing the world that they have actual classes going on.

    This "event" has the destructive potential of 10 Megdorks. (The first GenCon had an effect of 8.5 Megadorks) - Only a Linucon or a Furvert convention is deadlier.
