Ok the song in my head is now "Money Makes the World Go Around" from the musical Cabaret - because a musical isn't a musical if it doesn't involve Nazis. Because honestly - I know I'm supposed to love Rent even though the music is saccharine Bryan Adams imitations - but wouldn't that musical be much cooler if instead of Mimi suddenly getting better for no apparent reason (it is Mimi right- same character as in La Boheme where she really dies and it's tragic, instead of living so it's stupid?) the SS comes knocking and carts off all the characters including that one that has composed HIS GREAT SONG - which is the weakest song in the show (I don't think he's supposed to be like the protagonist in Swingers - the one that keeps talking about how he came to Los Angeles to be a standup comedian but is not funny - one of the best running jokes in that movie - I hated that movie when I first saw it but LOVED it upon later viewings - very few movies do that to me. Swingers and Dead Ringers are my two main - hated on first view, loved on second and third viewing movies)

And I would pay money to see Cats if there were some Nazi Cats - as if that's any stretch for felines. Every cat is a little Hitler in practice - so small, so temperamental, so eager to play with your tzitzits and mutilate them.

At Camp Moshava they have musicals translated into Hebrew. One year they did Cabaret - I would love to see that. Ok Mordechai you'll be Nazi #1. Shmueley, you'll play the gay Nazi lover of the protagonist.

Of course I could just watch The Producers for the 134th time.
