DC is Alive with the Sound of Music

As many of you know, The Blog has many grandiose ideas percolating his mind: dance crews, dance club owner, dj, MTV Programming Director, Real World psychotherapist, Dr. Phil with a full head of hair, to be a member of Denmark’s Supreme Court, a Phil Spector-esque Svengali to Scarlet Johanson (without the armaments and without the scary hairdos), etc. The latest is a musical, Nonlegally Blonde, which is the story of the NonBlonde Elle (“NBE”) who snags a coveted internship at the Google Commission (given the huge budget deficit, the government has started selling naming rights to its regulatory agencies; Google also offered the ability to ensure that no government document could ever pop up on a Google search, and therefore not exist). NBE entered the humid environs of DC filled with intelligent, fresh ideas, but soon found that such ideas wither in the sweltering heat of DC. After all, DC invented recycling with ideas repackaged as “change” and “hope” and “Marion Barry”. So despondent Elle retreats to an idyllic ride in a Potomac paddle boat, and happens upon stranded paddleboat passengers. NBE navigates them back to shore, against the raging Potomac current, and avoiding the trash thrown into the river by Nationals fans, but then accidentally plunges into the Potomac. She makes it back to shore by clinging to a floating tire and finds that the plunge cleanses her of her GOPness and she now sees the Jeffersonian light. She soon realizes, however, that even being an enlightened Democrat does not lead to any more effectiveness in DC so she returns home to her beloved Colorado and buys Bronco season tickets which include a ticket to ObamaFest 2008 at Invesco.

This musical will debut at the Lone Tree Center for the Cultural Arts (as soon as it is built) with tour stops at the Park Meadows Fountain and the Lakewood Lake.
