Broadway Critters

I have had the most wonderful idea! (I think it's wonderful, you can keep it to yourself if you think otherwise.)

I want to take original cast recordings of some of the classics of musical theater, and recast furry animals in all of the roles. I'm thinking roughly drawn animated animals, but live would be funny, too. Can't you imagine a squirrel in a dress singing "I feel pretty" from "West Side Story"? I'm thinking the Jets are gray squirrels and the Sharks are red.

How about a hedgehog singing "I'm just a girl who cain't say no"? And my beloved, non-existant dachshund crooning "Luck be a lady"? I think it would be hysterical! I think it'd be a hit. Okay, only on YouTube, but what the hell do you want from me, a Tony?!

If anyone knows an animator who would be interested in such a project, please send them my way (also if you happen to own the rights to any broadway cast recordings and would be willing to let me use it, royalty free).

This reminds me of the "Zoo Animals on Wheels" episode of Chris Elliott's "Get a Life" sitcome. (Friends loaned it to me cos they thought I'd enjoy it...) Check it out...let me know what you think. Then I'll respond in kind.
