Man Takes Broadway!
Frat Boys Line Up To See
Naked Chicks

- Burning Man, the smash hit from Nevada, just started what is
sure to
be
a long and lucrative run at the Winter Garden, former home of the
smash hit Cats. Featuring tons of inexplicable and
pretentious art, beer, ecstasy, and lots of nudity, critics
are hailing the
play as "revolutionary" - in terms of revenue.
"We've
finally been able to bring together a multitude of demographics
under one roof - college-aged males seeking naked women, downtown
hipsters seeking crappy artistic displays, and families from the
New York metro suburbs seeking the typical cheap, artificial, overpriced
broadway experience we've all come to love," says the play's
producers, who come from Trendmongers Inc., a marketing
think tank.
In order to
reach a larger audience, the usual Burning Man experience
has been slightly altered. Music will be provided by Linkin Park,
Staind, and Korn. Also, beer will be served throughout the performance,
which will be more "family-friendly" so as to not confuse
or upset audience members.
The plot has
been re-tooled to accommodate "your typical theater-goer",
according to producers. In the play, Burning Man meets a woman from
the wrong side of the tracks and falls in love, much to his family's
chagrin. Burning Man puts his social standing on the line and, in
the end, ends up happily married to his female lead, leading both
families to find common ground and understanding. Plenty of gratuitous
nudity is added to keep the audience's attention throughout this
roller coaster of plot twists.
"The combination
should satisfy even the most demanding consumer," claimed one
spiky orange-haired, zoned-out, half-clothed, trucker cap wearing
hipster, who was not paid by anyone for saying such a thing.
