[NEohioPAL] Blanche DuBois

[vanbrujah at aol.com]

The musical version was called "Oh, Streetcar!."

This episode got The Simpsons in trouble with the City of New Orleans, due to the lyrics to the opening number:

Long before the Superdome

Where the Saints of football play...

Lived a city that the damned call home

Hear their hellish rondelet...


New Orleans!

Home of pirates, drunks and whores

New Orleans!

Tacky overpriced souvenir stores


If you want to go to hell, you should take a trip

To the Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip'


New Orleans!

Stinking, Rotten, vomiting, vile

New Orleans

Putrid, brackish, maggotty, foul


New Orleans!

Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank

New Orleans

Due to all the complaints, the next week the opening of the show featured Bart writing:
"I will not defame New Orleans" on the blackboard.

I'm waiting for the Planet of the Apes musical, myself...

For those of you who missed it, last week, NPR did an excellent story on Blanche 
DuBois.  If you have the slightest interest in "A Streetcar Named Desire," it's 
worth the 8 minutes to check it out: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=87859194
   
  ...of course, we're still waiting for the full musical, "Streetcar!"* a' la 
the "Simpsons".

  *Marge broadens her interests and wins the role of Blanche DuBois in a musical 
version of A Streetcar Named Desire. Ned Flanders takes the role of Stanley. 
Maggie is getting in the way of her rehearsals, so she is taken to a daycare 
center. Marge can't find the right way to say her lines but discovers that 
Homer's annoyance brings out her anger which is perfect for the role of Blanche. 
Maggie and the other kids at daycare are sick of being pushed around so Maggie 
leads a revolt to recover everybody's pacifier. Homer goes to see the play with 
Bart and Lisa. Marge didn't think it would interest him at all but Homer really 
felt for her character and the two kissed and made up.
