Atrios has an idea for any of you Broadway producers out there:
It’s the tale of a wealthy white American who travels the world, blissfully unaware that all of the wiley foreigners who flatter his every thought and deed are just in it for the tips.
All dialogue for the “Tom Friedman” character will be taken from the collected writings and public utterances of Tom Friedman. We’ve got a massive opening number, Bollywood style, sung by every cab driver Tom Friedman has ever met and quoted. Potential opener title: The World is Flat (but the roads are bumpy).
It’s a million dollar idea, I tell you. Heck I bet the mustache itself wins a Tony for Best Actor.
