Musical Theater Nerds: The Musical Synopsis

Explanation of my Post: If you aren’t familiar, a musical Synopsis goes through the plot of a musical and inserts all of the songs names, the songs are listed in bold. That’s what this piece is doing. :)
Musical Theater Nerd: The new musical Synopsis Musical Theater Nerds Unite. Google and Angie contemplate together about how the internet is a great place to find people who love musicals. As they each Stand Alone, they realize that without the internet, they might never connect with people who knew all of the lyrics to every song in Les Miserables. Angie clicks on a link to a fellow musical theater nerds blog and finds herself connecting with her New Best Friend who just happens to have the same three musicals in her Top 3 Musicals of All Time. Meanwhile, Google discovers that there are actually nerds featured IN musicals due to a compiled list: Nerds Are Hot. As Angie and Google turn away from the sites they just discovered, they begin dancing around the living room excited to have found a Haven of Musical Theater Nerds. Nerd-dom Continues as Angie and Google sing about the various sites they are encountering that emphasis how awesome it is to be a musical theater nerd. Things turn serious as they sing a beautiful love song together The Most Romantic Love Songs (in Musical Theater). At the end of the song, Angie goes to her laptop and clicks on a new link describing what a lot of musical theater nerds are like: 40 Ways. Angie feels so happy that she is finding so many awesome sites about musical theater nerds, that she starts to lose her mind. She imagines she gets into an argument with Broadway actor/writer Harvey Fierstein about the new musical she just discovered from Google Nerds: a musical comedy about Steve Jobs and Bill Gates: Dumb Idea. Harvey argues that since there are already so many musical theater nerds out there, why not try to Recruit actual nerds to love musical theater. Angie is outraged, thinking that Technology is Ruining Theater and her and Harvey have a fight that nearly comes to blows until Google interrupts Technology Brings Us Together, reminding everyone that without the magic of internet search engines, they might not hear about great new musical theater shows, or find other nerds just like them. Angie and Harvey sing Musical Theater Nerds Unite (reprise) while they look at Google to find out more amazing websites dedicated to musical theater nerds.
