American Idol: The Musical, opened on Broadway…and then closed on Broadway after 1 official performance.
Reuters reports:
A musical inspired by the hit reality television show “American Idol” has been voted off the stage in New York — closing one day after officially opening off Broadway.
“Idol: The Musical,” touted as a “satirical musical comedy that focuses on the outrageous and delusional fan base of the hit television show,” closed on Monday after two casts, 47 preview performances and one regular show.
Wow. Who’d have thought that a musical about a show that most people cease giving a fuck about approximately 2 miliseconds after the final show airs would fail in a format that most people haven’t given a flying fuck about in about 50 years?
Man it’s too bad no one (other than most of the western world) saw this massive failure coming or else this could have been hugely embarrassing.
