STREET JUSTICE: THE MUSICAL

Opening Song and Dance.

Corey Twenty-Fingers:
(mezzo forte)
What will become of our little ole gang?
When are we going to fight those evil Jets (or whatever)
I've got a big wood with a nail in it,
Those dudes are completely fucked - I will stick it into one of their heads!

CHORUS

STREET JUSTICE!
Oh yeah it's - STREET JUSTICE
Holy Fuck it's - STREET JUSTICE
An honour based system of retaliatory violence


Colin, A member of the infamous Jets, comes around the corner.

Colin:
(A rich Baritone)
Hey Corey Twenty-Fingers, guess what?
Last night I fucked your mother and your sister - and your dad.

HE IS PREGNANT,

CHORUS

STREET JUSTICE!
Oh yeah it's - STREET JUSTICE
Time for some good ole fashioned STREET JUSTICE
This will probably end up with both parties hospitalised, wounded.




I'm still working on this shit. It's probably at what I'd call 'final draft stage'.

IOYC,

May I humbly suggest some suggestions?

I will assume "yes" and continue by suggesting them.

As it stands, your musical needs to be longer - I don't think I would pay any money to see this on Broadway or at Covent Garden, and if incorporated into a Bollywood film it would detract from the overall experience and I may not rent the DVD until $2 Tuesdays.

More scenes should be added with a Massive Final Twist in mind, e.g. sworn enemies Colin and Corey T-F turn out to be half-brothers. This would result in audience members leaving the theatre thinking: "So, while trying to upset Corey, Colin only managed to ruin his own family? What then, is the nature of Street Justice anyway? Can real Justice therefore be administered by the Streets? etc."

Clue to the Massive Final Twist should be given at about the 63% mark of the musical, when it is revealed that Colin's family name is "Fingers". Audience (if not too stupid) is supposed to notice the connection between family names "Twenty-Fingers" and "Fingers", suggesting the possibility of them having the same father. Timing and delivery of Clue obviously depends on anticipated stupidity of audience.

Apologies if you and your muse had already planned for this. Keep up the good work - Bollywood needs you.

There should be a new term invented to describe the snort laughing caused by the reading of computers which you are on.

I am interested to see how The Author is coping with the clear success of this draft.

No doubt there are some seriously Warm Cockles.

You have made possibly the most awesome suggestion ever, on this web page. When the band fires up, at full fucking tilt, it's like the Hammer of Thor has struck.

Kind Regards,
