Theater Thursday - Thoroughly Meaty Musicals Starring The Broadway Hotdog

What: Thoroughly Meat Musicals Starring The Broadway Hotdog 

Where: Season 1 Available on Broadway on Demand

Who: All ages

If you are looking for something completely different and a little silly (or a lot silly depending on your point of view), you might want to try Thoroughly Meaty Musicals Starring The Broadway Hotdog These amusing cartoons are spoofs of major musicals starring a cast of cartoon franks. They are quick, about 15 minutes each, and cleverly adapted. You don't necessarily have to be familiar with the musicals being spoofed to appreciate them although familiarity definitely adds to the enjoyment of them. Season 1 consists of 5 episodes parodying Les Miserables (Les Meaterables), Bye Bye Birdie (Fry Fry Weenie), Sweeney Todd (Weenie Todd), Xanadu (Hamadu) and Hello Dolly (Hello Weenie) respectively. It is not clear whether or not there will actually be a second season, but in the meantime, just be grateful for the five episodes that already exist because I'm sure we could all use a laugh or two right about now. 

Thoroughly Meat Musicals are available only on Broadway on Demand. You must sign up for a subscription to watch Broadway on Demand programming.
