[Political Junkie Too]

I still can’t see how you can make a musical about a very sad story.

West Side Story. Gang warfare, the two male leads die.

Porgy and Bess. About a begger, an abused wife, and drugs.

Showboat. The show-in-show lead performer is outed as 1/32 black, and ostracized.

South Pacific. WWII. Second love interest is killed in action.

Evita. She dies.

Jesus Christ, Superstar. He dies.

Chicago. They're all murderers.

Sweet Charity. An optimistic prostitute?

And on and on.

Okay, let’s do one on Auschwitz or Treblinka or any German concentration camp. I bet there’s some fun stories there that could be put to music.
