Andrew Lloyd Webber Plans U.S. Reality Show

 

Word from Variety magazine is that composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has hired management in the United States to help him sell a reality show to network television. The show would be much like NBC’s “You’re the One That I Want,” in which the winner got to star in a musical production of Grease.

Webber, would love to take the same template and apply it to his hit musical, “Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat.“ In Variety, Webber was quoted as saying, “The end game can be bigger than ‘American Idol’ .”

Tee hee!

It’s cute to see someone so full of hope and optimism. You sort of don’t want to dash his hopes to the ground, especially when it’s based on a positive assumption about the country. The truth is, Webber is going to have as much success with this show as he would if he came to the Philadelphia Zoo and handed out Crest and toothbrushes to the primates. Sure, the monkeys have horrible teeth, and they are capable of brushing, but why would they when they could do other things, like picking nits off each other?

This is America. This is the home of pro wrestling, You Tube, and Britney Spears’ bald head and over exposed va jay jay. Many of our most successful reality shows are the ones where we watch each other pick the nits off each other. The masses do not embrace culture, when we do, it’s only with a brief handshake and a polite, “Pleased to meet you.” Being Bobby Brown was on Bravo, for crying out loud!

Someone should have told Webber that NBC’s You’re The One That I Want was a ratings flop. Do I think that Andrew Lloyd Webber’s show will be any different? To quote Whitney Houston on Being Bobby Brown, “Oh hell to the no!”
