Man with Shaky Leg Reading “Debbie Does Dallas” on Subway

August 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I saw this today on the train and turns out (unbenowst too me) there is a musical based on the movieWho knew! Boy, New York really is a high-brow town, we even prefer our porn literary.The back of the book says (no shitting):

“The most important theatrical event of the 21st C., Debbie Does Dallas is a modern morality tale told as a comic musical of tragic proportions in the language of the rodeo-porn-football circus.”

Here’s the play’s website from the 2001 or 2002 production (I didn’t realize there have been so many stagings)…how did I miss them?

    Will there be a musical based on “The Bigger the Better” or “Kansas City Trucking Company”?
