"Photosynthesis: THE MUSICAL"
Concept Idea

A musical I think I would absolutely eat would be the photosynthesis musical. The real life event of photosynthesis would become the most wholesome and vile show ever to go to Broadway. The story of the Photosynthesis musical would take place on the set of a TV show of the daily glucose exchange between the recipient plantility lily and provider Mr. sun.  Hosted by Gardina Anina and Mr. Fedasynthesis, this sitcom style news TV show would give weather, and display how Mr. Sun delivers fresh light dependent reactions to Plantily Lily the same everyday (similar to Truman show). “We are so lucky to be here on BBC Earth.”

 

Behind the scenes of this seemingly wholesome TV show is daily drama, crazy yelling, and disrespectful insulting comments that are hilarious to the audience, especially between the two co hosts of the show. It's just the normal routine. Behind the scenes, everyone yells at each other in an SNL and Harold's Diner (food with an attitude) outrageous satire comedy style, and uses really obnoxious plant puns to insult each other. Here are some of my ideas for possible plant insults:

• Go inhale an orchid.

• Sassy sunflower. (Sassy sunflower is a sun that platina anina sings to mr sun because he is trying to start drama)

• Cool cucumber (“Don’t TELL me TO chill LIKE A FRICKEN COOL CUCUMBER YOU SASSY SUNFLOWER!)

• “You always push me around like a pushy portulaca grandiflora.”

• Psycho toenail. You are a “Spiky vinus flytrap.” (“SHUT UP! I CONTROL THE WORLD!”)

 

These jokes will either be very cheesy, satire, sexual, or completely unhinged. The actors will deliver these with complete utter seriousness which will be hilarious to the audience. If you’re lucky, they might even sing about it, perhaps a tap number? Who knows.

 

If I had to cast myself in this show, I could see myself as mr sun! Because Mr Sun is sort of the quirky showman, who is also very much a jokester behind the scenes. He would talk in a game show voice as he sprinkles his light dependent reactions everywhere and he does his flying kicks. He will say in a Davis S Pumpkins styled voice.

 

Now… one ordinary day of daily drama and crazy yelling, normal routine. Suddenly out of NOWHERE. Boom the big lesbian couple, the drag dragon and girly gorilla come in and burn all the crops by breathing fire on them. The dragon would have a rihanna and nicki minaj type rap of why they are taking over the garden and why it will benefit the “baby dragons and the booty” (which is a song)  They would then go and destroy the garden and kidnap Plantily Lily.  

​

Also the son dated a lesbian

 

Co-hosts Mr. Fedasynthesis and Gardina Anina are pissed. Because the TV show can not proceed so they have to set out on an adventure to grow their garden back. They would then proceed to insult them out of spite with many lesbian jokes that could also be made into songs and tap dances.

 

As Mr. Fedasynthesis and Gardina Anina set out on an adventure to save plantily lily, many technical effects would be used. I imagine projections being in the back while drag dragon is flying, as well as many flashing lights. At the end, there would be a battle between both sides, and I imagine this happening in an audience aisle. Mr. Sun would pop out of nowhere and sing a song called “I am going to shine my light so bright on you you are just going to. Disappear.” He then shines blind the villains, they disappear, and the destroyed world goes back to normal. Yay! 

 

Thank you for listening to my crazy ideas… I think this musical’s message is to enjoy the simple things in life. Even though you may be screaming or arguing or insulting plants or lesbians, to merely to enjoy what you have in life before it is all stolen by a girly gorilla or drag dragon, and not take it for granted before it all goes away. It will be “one crazy candytuft” of musicals. Picture all the potential slogans and quotes from this show that could go on shirts and into musical theater jargon history. The possibilities are endless.
