    I never knew that I needed a teen musical Galatea story written by Tom Stoppard where the protagonist spontaneously changes to another character, but how do we get this funded?
    Ooh, and can we get a cameo appearance from the dead clown from…is it “Night and Day”? It’s been over twenty years since I binged a bunch of Stoppard (high school English class introduced us to “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead,” and I rushed to the library), so most of the plays kind of blur together.
