Baywatch the Musical?
October 3, 2008So, you watched the TV show and were either envious of the bodies of Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff or maybe you lusted over that massive chest that the Hoff possesses. Well, your teenage years may be behind you now but you could be getting a dream trip to your past with the Baywatch Musical.
Anyone who has ever watched the Los Angeles County Lifeguards between 1989 to 1999 will know how perfect the show is for a musical adaptation. Those slow-moton runs will be amazing with a stage full of Pammies and Hoffs, moving in sync as they grip there orange baywatch buoys.
Following the success of Jerry Springer – The Opera and all sorts of other musical adaptations, it would appear that there would be no reason why Baywatch the Musical wouldn’t be a runaway success. The campness and costumes would be ideal for the stage, and some of the music has already been written.
The Baywatch theme would be a massive crowd-pleaser; “Some people stand in the darkness, afraid to step into the light…”. Simply close your eyes and imagine the curtain raising as this song resonates through the theatre. Breathtaking…
Pamela Anderson has already stated her intention to be a part of the musical. “I want to do Baywatch the musical. Wouldn’t that be insane?”. Indeed it would Pamela, and you could make it something special. However, there must be one man involved to ensure the show is a copper-bottom hit.
The Hoff.
As soon as the Hoff can get the show in production, we know that Baywatch the Musical will be on its way to theatre greatness on both sides of the Atlantic. He has attempted to buy the rights but so far has had his efforts thwarted. Let’s hope the red tape is removed and the world can become a better place.
If you can’t wait until then, take a look and have a listen to those hypnotic opening credits that many a teenage boy will have still locked in his memory. Here you go boys, enjoy yourselves.
