The Hills Are Alive
...With the sound of-- coffee? Who would have ever imagined that Too Much Coffee Man would inspire an opera? Probably no one. But he has. The show, which may very well be the first opera to be based on a comic, debuts Friday the 22nd at Brunish Hall in Portland, Oregon. The lyrics were written by Shannon Weeler, who writes the comics, and Damian Willcox.
The plot of the opera will center around Too Much Coffe Man's unrequited love for his Barista friend, and bitter rivalry with Espresso Guy. The press release says that "the characters must resolve the age-old dilemma: Can coffee and relationships co-exist?" I want to know about that other age-old dilemma... can comic book fans and opera co-exist?
Check out the show's official website for more info.

That's hilarious. A friend of mine wrote and produced Back to the Future: the Musical at UC Santa Cruz. Supposedly they're trying to get rights to perform it commercially.
Thanks for the top five picks yesterday. I linked back here so it's all fair and stuff.
