I did a big review/feature on Gorman Bechard’s Replacements documentary Color Me Obsessed over at my other writing place.
Got me thinking about the theater crossover potential of that hallowed sloppy-yet-savvy rock band.
- Lead guitarist Bob Stinson often wore a tutu onstage.
- When particularly soused, the band would cover showtunes such as “Hello Dolly.”
Would that be enough for a Million Dollar Quartet-style Broadway musical?
You haven’t missed the Color Me Obsessed screening yet. It’s 7 p.m. tonight (Saturday, Sept. 17) at Yale’s Whitney Humanities Center. Free.
