RF: The Musical

Obviously, first thing to come to mind is the Wizard of RF.

It starts with Dorothy singing about not knowing whether to be thiest or an atheist
(Note how, appropriately, shes sitting on a fence):

Dorothy's opening number:


When You're Agnostic
(sung to the tune of Somewhere Over the Rainbow)

Life sucks, when you're agnostic,
I'm confused
There's so many religions
How am I going to choose?

Life's tough when you're agnostic
I'm alone
I just need
A theology
I can call my own

---Perhaps I'll be a Shamanist
With all those Gods and spirits to believe in
Or be a Fundamentalist
And stomp my foot and shake my fist
At all--those---heath-ans

Life's tough when you're agnostic
Where to go?
Which de-it-y
Is the one for me
Oh, I just don't know

----Or I could be Zoroastaran,
A Muslim, Jew, a Hindu
Or a Mystic

Or I could be a an Atheist
And tell these other people to be
Re-al-is-tic

When I go to a forum
I'm a ghost
No one wants my opinion
Nobody reads my posts

If I had a religion
There'd be hope
I would have a position
Just like these other folks

---If they can have such certainty
So many answers
Why oh why...
....not me?​

Honestly though I only know one musical and I'm not sure "Repo! The Genetic Opera" does much good here haha.

Well, Rent too. But I've only seen that like once.

If RF were to be made into a musical, what songs would be sung?

I’ve never been interested in musicals and I don’t know any of the classics. However, I am familiar with the ‘I’m My Own Grandpa’ performance on The Stupids (1996). So, for the RF musical, a relevant song might be ‘I’m My Own Guru.’

Who would sing them?

Definitely not me.

What skits would there be?

One skit would be something about somebody online claiming to be a prophet, a messiah, or a descendent of Jesus of Nazareth.

Who would sing them?

What skits would there be?


Songs
The Byrds - Turn! Turn! Turn
Thousand foot crutch - Let the Sparks Fly
Bob Dylan - Solid Rock
Damien Saez - La beauté du cœur (The beauty of the heart)
And more...

Singer would definitely not be me so i nominate you. A powerful, trained @JustGeorge voice is what is needed.

As for skits various religions and some agnostics and atheists debating what is Truth.

Oh What a Beautiful Forum

Sung to the tune of Oh What a Beautiful Morning from Oklahoma.

Newcomer (sings): I'm a newcomer here in your forum,
I signed up to your site just this morning,
Here's a pic of my dog,
And I'll link to my blog. . .

Moderator (sings): I'm afraid that you've just earned a warning.

Newcomer (talking): What?

Moderator (talking): Yeah, sorry you can't link to your blog until youve been here for a while.

Newcomer (talking):oh, okay.
(goes back to singing) Oh what a beautiful forum,
I just signed up here today,
I've got a beautiful feeling,
Although they just issued a gray.

Moderator (talking): Um, yeah, you can't talk about moderation in the open forums. I'm afraid I'm going to have to issue a rule 2.

Newcomer (talking): Oh, okay, sorry about that (mumbles) they sure have a lot of rules here.
(Goes back to singing)
Oh what a beautiful forum,
I just signed up here today,
I'm sure that you'll see me posting,
Because I have so much to say. . .

Moderator (talking): That's great, but you can't say it in this DIR.

Newcomer (talking): What?

Moderator (talking): yeah, that's a restricted area I'm afraid I'm going to have to issue you a rule 10.

Newcomer (grumbling) what the &$@!

Moderator (talking) Profanity. Rule 5.

Newcomer (whining): What are you some kind of control freak?

Moderator (talking): Rule 1!

Newcomer (yelling): That's it! You people are crazy!! I'm out of here!

Moderator (smirking): Okay, Hope you enjoyed your stay! God I love this job.
(Start singing) Oh what a beautiful morning.. .
