Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others

[Crimen y Castigo]

..or "Guys and Mozz"
..or "Hang the Choreographer, Hang the Choreographer"

So some folks in London town have done a musical based on Smiths tunes called "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others." (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/18/theater/18smit.html?pagewanted=1) This probably belongs in that musical theater thread, but c'mon... it's the Smiths.

Here's a choice quote from the article.
"...The team hopes to take the production to New York. Many English reviews for "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" have been mixed or hostile. The Independent praised the music but called the staging "bewildering and frequently toe-curling."

How long before the headline "More Than a Bomb" is used?

More to the point, how long til a Radiohead inspired theatrical production hits the stage? Five years? Ten? With the nostalgia line continuing to advance on the present, I wouldn't be surprised if it's already in the works.

Some girls dance with women...



I would love to see a Radiohead play/movie with Ok Computer. They actually did some kind of thing a couple years ago at my college, where they had a "Kid A ballet," I believe it was called. I didn't see it though.

The Smiths - a band from Manchester, England, whose singer and lyricist, Morrissey, taught a generation-wide cult how to mope with melodramatic self-consciousness ...

That's pretty funny.

So, in this play, are some girls' mothers also bigger than other girls' mothers? Or were they just lying in the song?

I'm more interested in who's been cast to play the roles of Antony and Cleopatra, and what brand of ale they'll use as a prop.
