Slashdot Mirror
Star Wars Trilogy MIT Musical
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.

Being a subscriber, I sent an email to daddypants to try to get this corrected, but since I was ignored, I will deem it fine for me to rip.
Why on earth would someone need 'decency' to do something illegal like that? Why would you encourage your audience to commit crimes for your bemusment?
Instead, how about we say "Lets all hope they sell it in a video format for a cheap price or even free?" Maybe that will encourage them to share their play instead of us ripping it from them illegally?
And you wonder why the MPAA is all over torrents... this isn't helping.
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
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!

How would this constitute 'decency'?
I want to drag this out as long as possible. Bring me my protractor.

I think we can keep recursing like this until someone returns 1
Is it just me, or is Slashdot reporting on an increasing number of musicals? Combined with Taco's urging to do something illegal, I have to wonder if the editors are really getting into this stuff.
Then again, a lot of musicals are targetting more "geekish" plays such as "The Last Starfighter", so maybe it's just a cooincidence. Then again...
When do get to go see Slashdot: The Musical? Make sure there are plenty of trolls attacking insightful posters, guys with horns and flamethrowers, and let's not forget the ever important stage plateaus of being modded up!

Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
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.

After about 6 edits once it hit the front page, yes, it does hint that it may be a joke (still isn't very clear, imho). The first iterations, though, do not (the sentence was what I originally quoted).

The reason that there are so many musical credits is that this includes a lot of spoofs of songs from other things. Elton John and Andrew Lloyd Webber didn't write anything (intentionally) for this show, either. This isn't exactly serious drama, even for a musical.
"... tap-dancing stormtroopers, singing Ewoks, etc."
Forget about Han or Greedo, it will be the audience that shoots first.

eh.. that's all I can come up with, nothing he put out in the 90's is worth playing.. Clearly there's some more scenes that need representation, perhaps "I don't want to go on with you like that" could go with the scene where Luke argues with Vader on CLoud City.. no.. nevermind, I'm done now!
