I almost titled this "Coming to the Stage, Spike D", but I felt it was too crass. Anywho, here is a funny observation. Men like for others to know if or if not their reproductive organs don't function properly. I bet if I turn on a few podcasts right I will hear at least 1 ad for a product called Blue Chew(do your Googles). So, why did I have to find out about Spike Lee setting up a musical about the making of Viagra, the pill used to treat erectile dysfunction on Youtube? Y'all can talk about election news & Covid-19 vaccination research, but you are mum about this. Maybe you didn't know about it. So, read about it HERE if you have not.
Have you ever seen Lee's movie, School Daze? Remember the beauty shop musical scene. When I heard about this all I could think is was these lyrics, "Talk about Good not Bad D---. If You Want to Please a Chick".(*sigh* As soon as the church opens, I'll head straight to the altar because of that.) I expect it to be like Menopause the Musical. I saw a commercial for it years ago. "I'm having a hot flash".
I see in my research for a video this show has been all over the nation, touring internationally, and can be streamed as of the date of this post. Lee says he does this musical with his late mother's fandom of Rogers and Hammerstein in mind. My mind wonders if she would have enjoyed the Menopause show.
I don't know who producers & writers want particularly for the cast. But I hope they consider the guy who played "Smiling Bob" from the Enzyte (another E.D. product) ads. He is probably the most recognizable person in the fight for male reproductive issues. I hope they reach out to him to audition. It should be a fun show. Well, at least funny. Viagra, which was originally supposed to be a heart attack medication has had its share in-jokes at its expense. And interesting it will get its shine on stage.
As Always Talking to You in Adult Terms!!
