Haiku Friday: Musical Theater!
Ok, that whole "Cats" thing totally creeps me out. Seriously. I can't even watch beyond the first three seconds.
Still, can we haiku about musical theater. Sure, I've never gone there (for obvious reasons-- I don't know anything about it) but... there are those who love it.
I'll go first:
Disaster has struck!
Town imperiled, All is lost...
So, Let's sing and dance!
Now, it is your turn (and I'm really counting on y'all here to fill in the many many gaps in my knowledge). There recipe, syllable-wise, is 5/7/5, and the winner gets a bio here on Monday! Now, go!

Baylor Theater
Mourns hero for musicals.
We will miss Bill Cook.
Resting in Peace was
never his thing. He'd rather
direct the chaos.
His was "Fantastick" show -
Drama, Laughter, Love and Pain.
The message lingers...

English schoolteacher
Twirling in a silk ballgown
"Shall We Dance?" Oh, yes!
Flower girl, Ascot,
Reverts to her old language:
"Move yer bloomin' arse!"
Three strippers: ballet,
electric lights and trumpet
They had a gimmick!

TIME TO START LIVIN'
TIME TO TAKE A LITTLE FROM
THIS WORLD WE'RE GIVEN
TIME TO TAKE TIME, CAUSE
SPRING WILL TURN INTO FALL IN
JUST NO TIME AT ALL

A purse can come from
A pig's ear,guttersnipe to
Queen.Eliza morphs.
Bedraggled violets
To crown,spunky flowergirl
Now sings "H",Spain,Rain
Einsford-Hill fancies
Her Style.Still Eliza is
Gaga for Henry.
Will he want her back?
Now that he's accustomed to
Her face,she to his?
