Rarely is the post on an art other than applied art, and this performance notion is too interesting not to mention.
On September 24 (at 7:17pm), one of my all time best buds from High School (now a Professor of Theater somewhere in Schenectady, NY) posted the following on Facebook: “Said "yes" to directing one more high school musical – suggestions”?
I’m unclear what became of it, the post garnered 67 comments! For my part, however, I offered something that, to the best of my knowledge has not been done … and someone really should do it:
Frank Davis I finally have a suggestion: an anthology of eighties music videos! it could blossom into a series and would eventually have the kind of legs to get updated (by decade, medium, etc.). Acted theatrically, of course ... spare, quickly changed sets ... see this example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V83JR2IoI8k&ob=av3e ... of COURSE i can see you directing and or acting in this. But if you use my idea I'll need a video copy, assuming you can't fly me up for opening night : ) MTV the Play!

The point of this suggestion is to open up a whole new genre of theatrical performance (much the way ice follies have echoed off previously established works). Blue Ocean Strategy anyone?
