Record Store Clerks Singing

So I just finished reading High Fidelity for the third time. It was great again, as I knew it would be, but one thing really bugged me and, if you've read the book or even seen the movie, then it probably bugged you too: Wouldn't the whole story be a lot better, more real, more engaging, if the characters were all singing. If High Fidelity were a musical, wouldn't it just be that much more wonderful?

I am, of course, being deeply, deeply sarcastic but, as it turns out, some other people aren't:

Yes, High Fidelity is coming to Broadway.

For. Fucking. Real.

Watch the music video they have on there of one of the songs; it'll give you a pretty good idea of how badly they've fucked up a great story.
