Singing Gay Cowboys!
"Brokeback Mountain" is being turned into an opera by New York City Opera. You know, because it's not gay enough. A spokesbitch for the opera house said they have commissioned composer Charles Wuorinen to write an opera based on Annie Proulx's short story. It will premiere in 2013.
Charles Wuorinen issued this statement to Reuters: "Ever since encountering Annie Proulx's extraordinary story I have wanted to make an opera on it, and it gives me great joy that Gerard Mortier and New York City Opera have given me the opportunity to do so."
I'm okay with this as long as they get Placido Domingo and Paul Potts to star. Imagine those two sexy beasts dressed as cowboys and licking up on each other. Raw sex on the stage! They would have to hand out baby wipes and condoms at the door.

5 years? I read Puccini composed "Turandot" in between pizzas on a napkin.
Opened the next night. (Wikipedia I think.)

Angelina Jolie and I love each other. IF that's unusual these days, that's sad.
James Haven! Hey, Luv. Hope all is well with you. Jamesy, I know you could get the part! Just dazzle 'em with your sequins and tongue skills! ♥
I see poo has digital diarrhea. Poor poo. *pats poo on back* It'll be okay, poo. Happens to the best of us after a bad Cheap Chinese meal experience and/or sudden inexplicable seizures due to lack of daylight or an audience.
By the way MK, is it necessary to have two separate tags: GAY and THEATER?
James Haven's agent is busy at work trying to get Jake's part for him to play! We all know what happens in the end, and James Haven thinks he is dramatic enough to pull it off!
Cross your fingers, bitches!

Of course, they might still be in makeup long after the curtain goes up.

Kay, got unlazy. Tell me this isn't gay. Glenn Campbell, you dirty, dirty bird! This is just a pre-load of jizz, mind you....
I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
**********************************
Sorry, Roger, you are tiger now...
Singin' cowboys wuz done already in Oklahoma!
Can't top that.
They could throw in "People Will Say We're in Love" if Rogers and Hammerstein estate would let them. How perfect.

The world is full of little people like you
They have to read a book to learn what to do
...Like a Rhinestone Cowboy....
Does anybody remember that shit? I'm too lazy to look through all the comments, but we DListers must petition for that song to be included.

Oh, HELL no. BBM is my favorite movie - they shouldn't have singing in it!!!! Blasphemy!
ETA: It should have won the Oscar!
I bet that Annie Proulx will show up every night and continue to bitch about how Brokeback should have won the Oscar.
QueenCharisma,
Nathan Lane came out years ago. He was quoted once saying something like he's "single, 40 and works in musical theatre, you do the math."
Officially he came out after Matthew Shepard was murdered.
K, i know way too much about a gay guy.

I never understood his show growing up. I didn't what half the stuff was they talked about.
We just loved the fights. Then it got all boring when they had to stop fighting.

If they can do Jerry Springer, they can make this work. I would love to see an Opera of this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's right! They did make a opera out of Jerry Springer.
One time Jerry had on a little person who was a hooker, except her normal sized boyfriend didn't know it. She wanted to have her own career, she said.
But guess what. He found out on the stage, right there on TV!!!! Then her pimp, who was also a little person, comes out and he and the boyfriend start to fight.
And the audience kept chanting "Lit-tle Whore, Lit-tle Whore!"
Good times, good times.

I love me some gays, I party at gay bars, my best friend is gay, and we both think Jake G used to be SMOKING hot, but we refused to see this shit! I finally saw like five minutes of it on HBO - blah.
Why not just take the gay love theme and make a different musical out of it!? Shit, everything about musicals is gay, it can't be that hard! Singing gay cowboys is a painful idea.

LMAO! This could be good if they got the right opera singers/actors and if they didn't try to do full out sex scenes onstage. I don't think the patrons would be impressed, although I would definitely come back for repeat performances. But it could be like "La Boheme" or Rent-ish.
