The Sunday Giveaway: Two Tickets to Triassic Parq!
Hundreds upon hundreds of shows enter the NY Fringe Festival every year . . . and only a few come out alive. Bra-ha-ha (that’s my phonetic spelling of an evil laugh, BTW).
And by alive, I mean, only a few come out with a future life.
One of those lucky few is this week’s giveaway . . . Triassic Parq, The Musical! (Can you say spoof?), the 2010 Winner of the Fringe Festival Best Musical Award! Triassic, is playing at the SoHo Playhouse as I type this, and surprise, surprise, one of you is gonna get a pair of freebies to see it.
Jurassic Park was a Spielberg movie.
Come up with a spoof title of any other Spielberg movie, TV show, cartoon, etc. and comment it below. The winner will get to see Triassic Parq.
Ready, set . . . SPOOF!

Did I read your modifiers correctly? All of our suggestions have to be Spielberg oriented, correct? or only our movie suggestions, and we’re welcome to parody any TV show, cartoon, etc? I assumed Spielberg was the rule, so I thought since “Once” was a big hit, we could try “Always: The Musical” with a grand diva like Ms. Ebersole or Ms. Buckley in the Audrey Hepburn part, BUT Broadway did try an aviator show (“Steel Pier”)so can we improve? We could do “Sugarland Express” say with some young ‘uns, but say didn’t we try that with “Bonnie and Clyde”? I guess we’d have to try “Close Encounters of the Wurst Kind” in which a group of Broadway loving space aliens accidentally crash behind the Delacorte Theater and insist to a flummoxed Oskar Eustis that he put on a revival of “The Producers” which the aliens suggest be called “Close Encounters of the Third Reich” in which Hitler and his disgusting minions are buried alive in the largest mountain of mashed potatoes ever built.
