Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's the best thing to hit Broadway. Current pop stars compete for the chance to destroy your favorite musical. Anyone able to convincingly portray a character other than the persona created by their PR manager will be voted off. Anyone able to sing a song without riffing the out the entire melody will be voted off. Any girl not exposing more than 75% of her skin, regardless the role, will be voted off. Any guy who physically resembles something other than a 70s homeless person, a "gangsta", or Rudy Galindo will be voted off. Any style of dance other than hip-hop will result in disqualification. Triple-threats will not qualify for competition. Remember, this is about pop, not talent. With your votes, hopefully we can successfully remove theatre arts from Broadway completely and just showcase the rich and marketable for the American sheep.
Next up, Opera Idol and Gallery Idol.
Manufacturing art for a mindless tomorrow.

If there were any justice in the world, it would be Hal Prince, Stuart Ostrow and Martin Charnin commenting as candidly as Simon with regards to actual talent especially in acting.
But for my vision to be realized accurately, it would be Voiceanth, the president of the Britney Aguilera fan club, and Menudo.

Whats the saddest part of this thread, is that nowadays I could easily see something like that happening. But I'll be damned if it would....I dont know what exactly I would do, but it wouldn't be good. 
You've gotta have heart AND music
