«Cellphones», a new Rock Musical
"Cellphones" is a new rock musical playing in New York written & directed by William Electric Black, where audience members get calls from the cast. [via Smart Mobs]
Synopsis:
The war in Iraq and terrorists' threats keeps America on constant alert. Homeland Security is not only the buzz, but the only place that's offering a decent job. A new recruiting booth is about to open up at 7:00 am Monday, in Central Park.
The night before the booth opens, twenty strangers gather and wait in line. While they wait, they rock out about timely topics such as Britney Spears, botox, SUVs, MP3s, rap music, fast foods, low fat diets, saving Michael Jackson, gay marriage, the Internet, porn, soccer moms, Enron, Bush, Starbucks, Martha Stewart, weapons of mass destruction, and of course, cellphones.
Move over “Hair”- - cellphones are now the rage. In fact, during/ the rock musical, audience members get calls from the cast.
