Someone, anyone, please sink these boats!

Apparently the latest trend in the entertainment biz is to take the crappiest musical acts you can think of and ship them out onto the ocean. Here’s two examples just from today:

Danny Noriega: Danny may have (finally!) been voted off “American Idol,” but that isn’t stopping him from singing. In yet another baffling video blog entry, Rosie O’Donnell has invited the all-attitude-but-no-talent contestant to perform on her R Family Cruise next week. She says he’s “courageous” and wants to sing with him on stage. Um… I’m pretty sure the only courageous people in that scenario are the audience members.

“Toy Story: The Musical”: Along with Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” seven original songs have been written for the musical adaptation which will be premiering April 10 on the Disney Cruise Line. It’s not Broadway-bound yet, but if the show is a hit you can bet they’re going to consider transplanting it. Here’s how the show’s look is described:

The production utilizes “larger-than-life props [that] help transform the 977-seat Walt Disney Theatre into a toy-sized world of fun and adventure. A rear projection screen aids the transformation between human-sized and toy-sized scenes.

I guess that’s a pretty cool concept, but just think about it: a cowboy and a spaceman singing together on stage. … It’s like a slightly less gay version of the Village People.
