'Spontaneous' Musical Performed in Mall Food Court
This video really made my day. Improv Everywhere, which stages synchronized outbursts of surrealist performance art, recently organized a musical in the food court of a Los Angeles shopping mall:
We used wireless microphones to amplify the vocal performances and mix them together with the music through the mall's PA system. We filmed the mission with hidden cameras, mostly behind two-way mirrors. Apart from our performers, no one in the food court was aware of what was happening.

A friend who eats/breathes/lives musicals the way we do food/dining sent this to me just yesterday...hysterical. Now I want to see one done (in Chicago?) where diners demand foie gras! ;-)

Curlz: Here's the first bit of lyrics to that musical ...
The city has made a faux pas/
In the passage of its silly law/
It gives us a shiver/
to give up our liver/
We diners demand foie gras!
If only I knew someone to write the score.

Adam, I know someone. Someone VERY talented. He writes music AND lyrics. We should talk!

That one was great. You all should go to their website, the article above links it and check out the "Frozen at Grand Central Station" - it's pretty amazing.

Curlz: Unfortunately, I'm good at coming up with opening lines or choruses but never good at coming up with an entire song :(
radley24: I second that one. The Frozen Grand Central deal is amazing as well, though in an entirely different way.
