X-Files The Musical



That's right, I attended the Colonel Mustard Amateur Attic Theater Company's third backyard musical which was a parody of The X-Files. It was a hilarious theatrical spectacle poking fun at the somber, overly serious tone of the X-Files series. The backyard performance was puctuated by catchy little tunes like “Totally Platonically…Us” and “Magical Manical Humanimals”

It was a crowded event with more than 600 people in attendance and 1700 computers streaming the performance live online. The rain rolled in and called Friday night's performance to a close about 2/3 of the way through the show which presented some interesting math and logic problems. The deeper observation being that The X-Files World Premier was rained out before it was complete. An act of God....or something else?
