And you thought THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL was the most embarrassing thing to happen to a popular franchise? Funny thing is that this musical came out a good three years before THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL (in the same year as SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, which changed everything for the Man of Steel). It would have been much more fun if Freddie Mercury, or Queen for that matter, had any affiliation with this musical adaptation, like a "Bohemian Rhapsody" offshoot or something.

I remember this D: I remember tuning in out of curiosity. Years later I thought I had just imagined the thing since no one seemed to have heard of it. Probably for the better.

The movie looked like ugh...and the ending was just XDD "I"m Superman!" the whole review is great. Keep it up, Brad.

I am a very big fan of musicals, and even the worst ones that I've watched have some ever-redeeming quality that gives them some re-watchable value. I remember watching this piece of crap once. I could not find even one reason to watch it again. The acting is bad, the songs lyrics are terrible, the singing actually feels like audio rape. Why the hell does this thing exist? What kind of acid trip were they on when they suddenly thought 'hey, Superman has some musical potential'... ?

Jon Cryer was awesome in Pretty In Pink.

Okay....This looks like it would be fun. I LOVED the Nudist Colony of the Dead Snob video. Who was the naked dancing man on Brad's porch? This promises to be fun-tastic! However, I'm at work now. So after work, the gym, shopping at the Supermarket and running errands for the 'rents, I'll setting down with a cup of hot chocolate milk (like crack to us old people) and nerd-out on some Snob'n. Yeah!!!!!!!!

Brad WAS the naked dancing man.

And you thought THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL was the most embarrassing thing to happen to a popular franchise? Funny thing is that this musical came out a good three years before THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL (in the same year as SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, which changed everything for the Man of Steel). It would have been much more fun if Freddie Mercury, or Queen for that matter, had any affiliation with this musical adaptation, like a "Bohemian Rhapsody" offshoot or something. That "I am Superman" bit at the end was the funniest ending of any Snob review I've seen in a while.

The original stage version of "It's a bird... it's a plane... It's Superman!" is actually MUCH better than the movie. The play got critical raves at the time and is one of the more under-appreciated Broadway musicals. The movie cut so much and had such a terrible cast, it's almost a completely different show.
Reply to this
I guess I'll never get over Freddie's departure. His death was the first one I cried over.
My grandparents died before my birth or died later than him. So, yeah, it's true.

Awesome, I loved the references to GOOD musical numbers. So uh, no Lex Luthor? I was sure he could sing a song about stealing cakes. Forty of them. That'd be awful.
But for some strange reason, it reminded me of the tragic loss that was the cancellation of Pushing Daisies...

Good call on Clark looking like Dr. Erhardt. And I'm still having trouble believing that something like this can really exist. Thank you, the 70s! Great stinger too. Perfectly sums up how fucking out there this thing is
P.S. I like the cameo by your classic Game Boy
Reply to this
Wow, that ending made me burst out laughing. Both the "I'm SUPERMAN!" and the "obliterate Sweden!" parts.
Although I must say, it wasn't as much of a WTF as seeing the flag of the Swedish province Jamtland waving in the wind over Molossia.
Any chance we'll see a review of that Bollywood Superman? It got musical numbers too.

Kenneth Mars, Lesley Ann Warren and Loretta Swit is a pretty damn stellar cast for a made-for-TV movie back in the 70's. That said, this movie still looks like crap.
And I think the main villain is none other than *BUM, BUM, BUUMMM!* Reverend Fred Phelps!

Surprised you didn't point out who wrote the music for this- Strouse and Adams, the duo probably best known for writing the music for the popular musical adaptation of "Annie," as well as the All in the Family theme song. Surprisingly, despite being well-known for those compositions alone, they've had more flops than hits. And this is one of them.

I can recognize Franz Liebkind anywhere!
It sucks that it actually is him. I checked IMDB, the "wikipedia" of movies.

"Obliterate Sweden". Makes sense. After all, what could drive a man to go...NEUTRAL? I loved the deadpan delivery of the superman in the Batman theme joke. Keep it up Brad!
Reply to this
Great episode, but is there really a point of complaining about the actors singing in a musical? Aside of the fact that the songs were horrible?
Reply to this
haha "I am superman!"
That was great. I dont know if anyone else noticed but that had the narrator from the Space Quest Series (among many other pieces of work he has done, that is just the most notable to my life- but he has done work dating back to the 1940s i think) Gary Owens!
Oh and the batman parody song was great too. "Fucking superman..."
I think this may be my new favorite episode =)

Holy shit, "Hot Lips" Houlihan?
How the fuck did a Broadway musical of Superman get made. Better yet, why a movie?
Oh well, I'm off for a few episodes of M*A*S*H.

Two words: camp value. The Batman show had been such a monster hit early on and a musical about Mad magazine had done really well in `64 or `65, so sombody though a cruddy play about an iconic comic book character would do gangbusters.

Most musicals probably aren't that terrible, and some of them are pretty damn good, but still, when people hear "musical," this may very well be the sort of thing that comes to mind. Unfortunate...

hey Brad, I was wondering if you'd be interested in checking out my dad's film him and his friends made as to spoof really bad movies XD.

There was a musical based on Steven King's Carrie as well. From what I heard it is even worse than Superman. Anyone ever see it? Might be a good idea to review one day Brad.

I have a book on the worst musicals of all time. The Title? "Not Since Carrie".
The first chapter is just a synopsis of the show, and it's epic. Nonetheless, all you probably need to see are the myriad reviews on Youtube.

I think one of the cast members in that musical was "Hot Lips" Houlihan in the M*A*S*H television series. Or maybe I just watch too many M*A*S*H reruns. I think the actress's name is Loretta Switt.
By the way, I love the Cinema Snob. I check this website every single day.
