So apparently the phenomenom of mediocrity that is Adam Sandler feels the need to conquer ALL venues of entertainment. First TV, then music, then the movies (live action *and* animation). Now, yes folks, it’s true: The Wedding Singer, the Musical.

This might be old news to you musical fanatics out there, but it’s the first I’ve heard of it. I shouldn’t be as shocked and appalled as I am. I mean, Footloose the Musical, for God’s sake? Dirty Dancing, the musical? I haven’t seen either but they both seem like bad ideas.

It seems like a crapshoot how these things work out. Hairspray’s an example of something that’s worked, but the movie had kitsch built right in. It was asking to be a musical. The Color Purple too. The movie oozes cheesy not-a-dry-eye-in-the-house musical-ness.

Who knows. The Wedding Singer musical might be the next Producers. Big name stars’ll be vying for the roles. Matthew Broderick and Alan Cumming will be fighting over who gets to wear that ’80s jheri curl wig. Just please no Drew Barrymore and her stupid crooked face reprising her role as the future Mrs. Julia Guglia. Anything but that.

For those of you who care, it’s debuting here on Broadway on April 27. I know I’ll be rushing right out not to see it.
