Frank Zappa loved theatricality. One of his albums, Thing-Fish, comprises the soundtrack to an unproduced Broadway musical and contains many references to famous plays.
Thats not an easy one to play, of course if you play it how it is. Are they keeping the original time signatures? (not sure if you can answer that but maybe you can)
TO ANYONE WHO SAW THIS PLAY: how did they go about doing songs like crew slut, stick it out, sy borg, and keep it greasey which all involve very sexual things. also, what did they use to simulate the sound of the central scrutinizer cuz i think frank just whispered into a microphone.
I didn't know about this until a minute ago, is it still playing? is it good? any actual scenes from the show? I'm not in the US but I'll try to catch this sometime soon.
This show is FANTASTIC!!!! A MUST SEE!! Have seen it twice and will be going back a third time. Even got to meet Diva Zappa. Don't miss this show!!!!!

I would pay 20$ just to see all those smoking hot chicks move around for the length of the record. The music would just be a bonus.

Somebody mounted it on stage! Fantastic! When I found out about Joe's Garage at a party in high school it was musically a religious experience!
