jerry springer: the opera

this picture is not what it looks like. it is a chorus line of dancing transexual klansmen in jerry springer: the opera. and what's giving me the most shits and giggles is that this is playing at carnegie hall. (for the ny times, click review here)

in a similar vein, i stumbled across some of the new lyrics for the too much coffee man opera. while i might not get to play a
diaper fetishist, this show might yet give me the most atypical opera character i'll play...

from shannon wheeler's livejournal:

The sequel opens 2 years later with the Barista married to a Martian and now she's bored with that too....

BARISTA: (slowly)
Love is like bondage with the safety word forgotten
Two people playing chicken until the chicken’s rotten
And so the hours thicken, we dare each other to stay
This way…
