The Sunday Giveaway: Two tickets to Full House The Musical Off Broadway!
This week, we give away two tickets to the gripping, emotional, tear-jerking and social issue-infused, Full House The Musical.
Not! (To use a term from the Full House era.)
Full House The Musical, which stars everyone’s favorite or least favorite gossip phenom, Perez Hilton, is a total send up of the “classic” TV show which, according to its website, contains, “Dirty words, adult content, Bob Saget, puppet love making, Olsen twin jokes, and no redeeming life lessons!” It was created by the same folks who brought you Bayside The Musical (the send up of Saved By The Bell) so you can bet that these guys know their way around some 80s parody.
And you gotta admit, Full House The Musical just sounds funny, doesn’t it? Everyone’s favorite or least favorite 80s TV show screams to be parod-ized, doesn’t it?
What other TV shows from any decade could also make a funny musical parody? Mork and Mindy The Musical? Alf? Days of Our Lives?
Tell me what you think would make a great musical parody (which is much different than a great musical FYI) in the comments below and one of you will win tickets to see Full House The Musical!
Good luck!

Star Treck the Musical! Featuring the Starfleet Tap Dancers! And a special interpreter for KSL – Klingon Sign Language!!! Where no interpreter has gone before.
Beverly Hills 90210!!! 🙂
Fresh Prince of Bel Air: The Musical!
(I was going to go with Beverly Hills 90210, but Sarah beat me to it!)
the Beverly hillbillies- the musical, oil they say, texas tea!!!!!
Long Day’s Journey Into Night, the musical. About a modern day male porn star (a John Curtis “Johnny Wadd” Holmes type) whose real name is Logan Day. His endowment is such that he is nicknamed Long Day, which has marquee value.. The show musically takes Day through an entire “performance” day and into that night. Unit set; cast of maximum of twelve; minimal costuming; surefire hit if nudity is involved! Plenty of comedy possible … and room for a ballad or two in a score of predominately “up tunes”!
This has probably already been done, but The Brady Bunch, the Musical!
The honeymooners would be an amazing musical though thats already happening…
I have to say that a “Small Wonder” musical would be hysterical – especially with the robot girl!
Only one of the greatest 90’s show ever, Boy Meets World…imagine the hilarious parody that would come with Eric’s character! 🙂
Silver Spoons the Musical — a randy romp. The tween son of the 1% nearly dies from the sappiness at the 7th grade dance, realizing it will take months if not years to get past second base with any girls his age. He sets his sights to conquer the cougars in his father’s social circle. He is the gatekeeper to his father’s attention and money, and the cougars cannot bribe him with a moped or an Xbox — he has thousands of everything he’s ever wanted. There’s only one way. A real lay. The ultimate conquest, is of course, his dad’s smoking hot assistant. Is she truly unattainable? Everything is exposed when Dad decides to run for President.
The Facts of Life
“Law and Disorder” aka “Law and Order,” of course. That damned gavel just never stops banging–and at the most inopportune moments.
??? I want to see that show! If only Jayne Manfield could play Benson and Hargitay play Un Stabler!!
HAPPY DAYS, hands down…or should I say two thumbs up?! AAAAAAAY!!
I agree with Happy Days the musical
MacGyver – The Musical!
HOLLYWOOD SQUARES starring PAUL LYNDE in the center square….
ONE SET
NINE ACTORS
I would love to see The Big Bang Theory Musical. Physics jokes, sexual tension, and lots of Spock jazz hands.
Mayberry RFD
Dark Shadows, the musical parody. Vampires always fill seats!
I think some classic 90s Nick shows would be ripe for a musical parody. Clarissa Explains it All, Hey Arnold!, Aaah! Real Monsters, Rugrats. I think they could all work beautifully!
Golden Girls The Musical
Laverne & Shirley, da Musical!
How about Happy Days
Dynasty – the musical parody,
The Monkees, The Musical. There was already singing in the show so what a perfect transition to a musical.
“Under the Cone of Silence” – the Get Smart Musical
Feauturing classics like:
“86 my Love for You”
“How do I Control Kaos in My Life”
“Ring, Ring, Ring Went my Shoe Phone”
“99 is 100% to Me”
“You Missed me…By THAT Much”
“Max Amassing My Losses”
The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd
Green Acres the musical with a singing Arnold the pig
How about MR. ED, THE MUSICAL? You could have some hunky guy play Ed. Cheyenne Jackson comes to mind. Wilbur has a sick crush on him. A little bit of an EQUUS parallel. Catherine The Great could have a cameo. Sick and demented but it could be very funny!
Who’s the Boss! Tony can do a two-step while he vacuums!
The often absurd pathos and ill fortune impeding rescue of those unfortunate castaways in Gilligan’s Island
shall provide great fodder for musical comedy!
Bewitched would be fun. Or the Dick Van Dyke show. Superman and Bonanza would be hard to pull off but how about Mission Impossible the Musical? I have a great tap dance number to the theme music ready go.
The Partridge Family
Murder she wrote
MANNIX
I would love to see AMERICAN BANDSTAND…or
SOUL TRAIN
Made into a musical!
The Wonder Years, in the narration style of Into the Woods.
Days of Our Lives – a musical based off of the soap opera!
The Looooooooove Boooooat
The Facts of Life. but that would be pretty corny.
X Files.
“Family Affair” featuring a singing Mrs. Beasley.
Mr. Ed
My Mother the Car
Bonanza
Gomer Pyle
The Greatest American Hero – always loved the title, capitalizes on the superhero trend in movies and already has a catchy theme song….
I Love Lucy seems like a box-office winner to me. Even today, when CBS decides to run colorized versions in prime time, it scores in the ratings. Ricky’s big production number would be set at the Tropicana (Babalu, anyone?) Fred & Ethel could be counted on for a semi-cheesy duet. And who wouldn’t like to see the grape-stomping and chocolate factory scenes musicalized? Moreover, what lends itself better to a patter song than Vitameatavegamin?
LOST IN SPACE…in space no one can hear you sing.
