Chuckleball: Something Different For Sports Fans

I went to see an off-Broadway show last night called Chuckleball. Yes that’s right I missed the Armageddon game that was the Pats-Colts, and shockingly the world did not end. Chuckleball is basically a sports parody musical that makes fun of most of the big headlines in sports. From Vick and bonds, to the WWE and Maria Sharapova they write clever songs using pop and broadway tunes about each story. Now I dunno about most sports fans, but I’m not a fan of theatre. I used to be when my parents and grandparents took me to shows as a kid, but that was quite a few years ago. Yet I was able to enjoy this “musical” because instead of being the typical boy meets girl blah blah blah drama that the usual plays are about it was about something I actually find interesting… sports. Sure there are some sports related plays… damn Yankees for instance, but none I know of are truly about sports.
Now, if you’re not in the New York area or don’t plan on being in the area anytime soon you probably won’t care about this show. However if you are I suggest you stop by, especially if you have a wife or a girlfriend. You’ll enjoy the jokes, your girl will enjoy the music and you can pretend you’re cultured for an evening. Now if you’re female and a sports fan or male and enjoy musicals you’ll REALLY enjoy it.
It probably sounds like I’m trying to sell you on the show, but I have no affiliation with it, so go or don’t on your own accord. I just thought I would share something a little different with the users of AGM.
