MICHAEL ARRUDA: And now here is our final answer to this month’s MONSTROUS QUESTION: Which horror or sci-fi movie would you like turned into a musical?
****
MARK ONSPAUGH: Here’s mine:
“THE MAD MUSICAL”
Music by Bernard Herrmann & Howard Shore
Lyrics by Forrest J. Ackerman & Sir Elton John
At the annual meeting of the Society of Mad Scientists and Doctors, chaos and hilarity ensue when several doctors collaborate on building Eliza (the “perfect” girl) and they all fall for her, to the chagrin of their creations and hunchbacked assistants.
The big, lavish and deranged production that will have you tapping your misshapen appendages to these hit numbers:
Andre Delambre sings “If I Were a Fly on the Wall” and “Kiss Me, Don’t Swat Me”
Andre Delambre sings “If I Were a Fly on the Wall.”
Victor Frankenstein sings “He’s Got Her Heart, but I’ve Got Her Pancreas”
Teenage Frankenstein & Werewolf sing “Pubescent and Present” and “A-C-N-E”
Anton Phibes & Peyton Westlake sing “I Like Your Face” and “Ow, Ow, Ow”
Dr. Phibes accompanies the singers on the organ.
Alexander Thorkel sings “Call Me ‘Mister Big’” and “Got a Big Crush on My Little Girl”
Fritz, Igor and Renfield sing “I Got a Hunch He’s Falling in Love” and “Yes, Master”
Eliza sings “Parts of Me Love Him, Parts of Me Love Someone Else” and “(Screams)”
Gerald Deemer & Andre Delambre sing “Web of Lies” and “She Says Two Legs is Enough”
Victor Frankenstein sings “He’s Got Her Heart, but I’ve Got Her Pancreas.”
The entire company sings, “Got Me in Stitches,” “My Love Went to Pieces at the Buffet,” “Candlelight, Good – Torch Light, Bad” and “I Can’t Stay Mad Playing Doctor with You”
Held over, one week at Big Boy Dinner Theater in Oxide, Nevada and Stuckey’s Roadside Praline Emporium and Theater-in-the-Swamp in Mustyodor, Georgia
