Next Up, "Marty: The Life & Times of Martin Scorsese"

It's official: they will now make a musical out of everything, as long as it sits still long enough for someone to bang out a couple of songs about it. We had cats (Cats), trains (Starlight Express), and peyote (Suessical). Now, we have Stan the Man, a musical based on the works of Stanley Kubrick.

I'm not going to pass judgment on Stan the Man. I will say, however, that my long-dormant dream of writing a musical based on the life of William McKinley suddenly looks a lot more realistic.
