Upon opening my in-box today I found a message from my friend Miguel, reminding me that tonight was opening night for the off-off-off Broadway premiere of Point Break: The Show.
Within your head mockery ensues, but keep in mind that Broadway has recently seen Wedding Singer: The Musical, High Fidelity: The Musical, and On Golden Pond: The Musical.
Also remember that Urinetown won a Tony a few years back. So anything is possible.
So here's my case for why this could be a sleeper hit.
1) Keanu Kitsch
You absolutely know that the first time the actor in the Johnny Utah role says 'Whoa' that's a standing ovation.
2) Patrick Swayze: The Comeback
Not enough credit is given to the man who in a very short time span pulled off Red Dawn and Dirty Dancing. People freely talk about the range of actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, but do you think they could pull off those 2 roles? Exactly. And that's why it;'s about time Swayze gets his due.
3) Surfers
Surfers are in dude. And I dare you to name the last Broadway show about surfers...Score points for originality.
4) Who will play Gary Busey?
Aren't you curious who would dare try to step into this role? Are you scared or excited about the possibility that there might be someone who could out-Busey Busey?
5) Ex-Presidents
Bank robbing surfers wearing President masks. It's awesome. And yet also such a credible commentary on today's political scene. This movie was ahead of its time. It knew where are presidents would one day lead us: red dresses, cigars, impeachment, needless wars, gross negligence of the economy...This movie made a statement that we missed the first time around. I beg of you all...Pay heed now...
