Ghost Rider Rides To Broadway!
In a move some consider surprising, Disney announced their first musical to hit Broadway since acquiring Marvel Comics will be Ghost Rider, complete with motorcycle, flames, and song and dance.
Moreover, teevee’s Craig Ferguson will be cast in the lead. Ferguson, a former punk rock musician, has long professed his love for the character. “I’m only disappointed that Nic Cage wasn’t able to take the role. Nic’s an even bigger Ghost Rider fan than I am, and I would have been thrilled to play the villain. That would have been ooh-la-la-ing awesome.”
It isn’t known if Ferguson will be moving his show out to New York during his run, or if he’ll simply leave CBS and Dave Letterman for the Great White Way. “I don’t have a clue; I just know I can’t pass this aye-carumbaing opportunity up!” Ferguson noted.
As one would expect, Sir Elton John will be writing the original music and Randy Newman will be orchestrating the less important bits. The show is expected to open on Times Square sometime shortly after Labor Day.
Merchandising deals are in progress.
Cute, Mike. You had me for maybe three seconds. Happy April Fool's Day to you, too.PAD
About halfway through the first sentence…
I forgot what day it was, but when I saw Craig Ferguson's name I realized this was a joke.
Flaming tap-dancers on Broadway. And this is different because…?
Oh, bad.Oh, SO bad.
Appreciated the good laugh. Not despite being a ghost rider fan but Because I am one from way back. It would be a hoot to see if anyone takes this seriously, since some gr fans out there have been way too angry that the movie was not horrific enough, which might explain some of those very-negative-to-the-point-of-not-making-any-sense reviews.
