[rgaleny]

I love social satire.

[MrZeldasmagic]

need more info on production date/place/family endorse? Ike, the potato headed one, is probably available, hell Dale for that matter too. lets do this NOW!!!!! thanks for upload.

@MrZeldasmagic I don't think this could be done with the "retirement crew". No offense meant, but Ike in a mask like that: lights out. The heat, the dancing, the singing ... all of that is just too much. It's a live show, not Hollywood, where a bunch of old men do an action movie & they still look good & can breathe & talk at the same time. Plus: FZ is dead. Only he could orchestrate the original cast. After 4 years of insistance Gail let us to do the teenage version. Full blown show? Good luck.

@houdinination , I was thinking off stage using Ike's voice, just an idea, he did a great job on the original recording that, it just fit, and I'm sure he could use the monies. Of course this is just a dream, Any present day productions of Frank's work, would be a blessing. well one would hope ;) maybe a special guest star might give this production some creditability. I would go see it in any cast but...

VERY NICE



[JeridanCork]

Curious you should talk of a DVD - some friends recently bought me one from an Oxfam (A DVD-R and CD-Rom of things like the audience appreciation forms). Good fun, although Thing-Fish is hugely difficult to hear in the tater head. If they had taken the performance on tour it would surely have seen a massive improve/lence.

@JeridanCork

I should like to see pictures of the items you obtained. And maybe you could tell me in which city you bought them? I'm still waiting for some audience recordings to appear, as I have seen people tape it from the audience. Please do get in touch!

[JeridanCork]

@houdinination (Late) reply with pictures forthcoming!

[TiniNormi]

Long-time Zappa fan here. Never thought I'd ever see an actual Thing-Fish stage production. I'm going fuckin' crazy right now.

[IsaacBaranoff]

This is great. Looks like you got the production down pat. Zappa rules!

[PappaWas1975]

This really is fantastic. I would kill to have seen this. A DVD would be great, better yet to perform it again.

[Vonyco]

Whoa... even though I'm a big fan of Thing-Fish, this seems legitimately frightening. Although, that was probably the point. :D

Nice to know someone was actually able to pull this off. I'm glad I found this.

[SternikPK]

This is amazing. I can't believe somebody actualy pulled this off. What Thatre was this? Did it play for long? When can I see it??

[houdinination]

@SternikPK See the updated description of the video. There might be a bilingual pocket book about the experience in 2011 though ...

[ZMoulton]

Finally a real Broadway musical! 

[ludmer67]

Zappa : dis guy have a PROVLEM

[houdinination]

Sorry, no DVD of this. You wouldn't be able to watch it in its entirety ;)

[Sausahga]

Shit, I wish I'd been there for this!

[theprobject]

when is the dvd not coming out

[LogansRunning]

Bravo, I'd rather see this live than fucking Les Miserables.

[felipecotti]

That was AMAZING. I envy everyone in the public...

Congratulations!
