Sep 2 2009'Hands on a Hard Body: The Musical' Only Makes Sense
The difficult-to-find cult documentary Hands on a Hard Body is become a musical? So Variety tells me! The film focused on a group of eccentric Texas characters competing in a contest of endurance to hold their hands on a truck the longest, thereby winning the vehicle; the Doug Wright and Amanda Green-scripted musical would presumably focus on the same, but with occasional song-and-dance breaks.
Well, at least this might bring enough attention to Hands on a Hard Body for the film to get a proper DVD release. And now visiting tourists have an alternative to Shrek: The Musical that they'll never see under the assumption it's "some kinda gay thing."

Doug Wright (Grey Gardens, I Am My Own Wife) is working on it. Don't think there's enough material for a full length musical, but how any Tony Awards have I won?
