You read it right -- Konami's rhythm-and-dance game that's been cited as a way to get chubby gamers off their keisters is about to sit them back down again with a new off-Broadway musical called Dance Dance Revolution.
The comedic musical stage production depicts a futuristic Orwellian society where dancing is illegal. That's until a prophet named Moonbeam Funk shows up to motivate a group of street thugs with dance skills. Promotions for the play cite that the play is loosely inspired by the game, features a Footloose appeal, buckets of free beer, and a cast of "40 really attractive, barely-clothed young actors."
Created by Les Freres Corbusier, a New York City-based theater troupe whose recent satirical productions include A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant (which tells the story L. Ron Hubbard in a classic nativity setting) and Hell House (which is based on Evangelical haunted houses that depict gay men and latte-sipping secular humanists).
Tickets for Dance Dance Revolution, which runs from December 3-20, are now on sale for $18.
