I have commented already on the sad state of British Musicals. (March 14 2006).
However, this week's issue of The Stage has an exclusive on a new production that threatens to lower standards still further.
The Stage reveals that Tony McHale, Executive Producer of medical drama Holby City is working on, yes, you guessed it, a Musical!!
The show is due to hit the West End this year. And the title?...
Bloodbath - The Musical.
Really. This extravaganza of gore...
"will tell the story of a serial killer called the Waterman, who attacks young girls".
Sounds like a laugh-a-minute evening out for all the family.
I fear that the rot may not stop there. Look out for Moors Murderers The Musical, or "If I Had A Hammer", the Yorkshire Ripper Story.
Does no one have any taste left?

Chris Morris has already "staged" the Yorkshire Ripper musical, or at least a hoax news story on "Brass Eye" about it being produced, starring Sutcliffe himself (saying/singing "I really am so truly, truly sorry" as the climax), which had then-Channel 4 director Michael Grade threatening to censor, and John McRirick in rentaquote mode fairly frothing at the mouth...
Appalling taste, sure. Funny, though.
