We Will Rock You would close on page four if it ever played Broadway.
Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you.

ATTENTION FANS: I will be played by James Barbour in the upcoming musical, "BroadwayWorld: The Musical."
Actually Jerry Springer was planned for Broadway and it had nothing to do with financial reasons that the show didn't happen.
The producers were very nervous about the content of the show as America is a lot more religious than the UK is.
The company also received 100s of threats from America saying if the show ever came to America they would do everything they could to close it.
They also decided that a UK tour was a better option(erm it flopped).
As for loads of people protesting outside the theatres on its tour this is not true.
The opening venue saw about 60 but after that the most they had was about 7(when it played manchester where i work they was one sweet lady protesting ).
Money wise Jerry Springer did go in to profit thanks to the tour(even though it didn't do that well).
They were also a production Planned for LA but they pulled it for the same reason.
I dont think Fame the musical will ever play broadway even though the show is a global phenomenon everywhere else(especially in the UK where its about to re-open in london after only closing 1 year ago,and the sequel Fame Forever is about to open in April)
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna
I don't know about Wales, but in New York, 20 pensioners and a six year old girl couldn't close down a show.
There was a group of people protesting when "The Capeman" opened on Broadway and yet that still went on as planned. Unfortunately it was rather anti-climatic, the people protesting were more interesting than the show.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.
JERRY is absolutely going to be making its' US debut in Chicago over the summer and then in Minneapolis this fall.
Really, JERRY - the tv show - isn't as popular as it was (it was even starting to decline in prominence when the London production was running), so I can't imagine it being successful in a large venue where running expenses are high. However, the two smaller companies planning productions this year will have great success with it.
As for the "religious right" and anyone else planning to protest - you're welcome to come picket - in fact, I want you to! The free publicity will be much appreciated and, honestly, it's been so talked up, if there aren't protests in every city the show is staged, I'll be disappointed.
