I'm sat here daydreaming and wondering what a musical based on Mumsnet would look like....

I'm envisaging various songs based on threads such as...

A wedding invitation with poem (no children invited either)
Brian from Hull
Lunch box content arguments with an actual bun fight
Penis cleaning tips (Penis Beaker)

A bad guy named Jeffery who likes to hack Mumsnet

Any other song suggestions? Who should star in it?

'dogs at school gates' would be a jets vs sharks type number

Andy could come onstage every so often to complain about the set.

The audience should fight their way through penguin bollards to reach their seats!

You'd have to include the line "You don't have a MIL problem, you have a DH problem" Hell, you might even be able to spin it into a musical number.

Dream sequence with the Mumsnet chicken - dressed in the Mumsnet scarf - and all the meals it goes to make. Maybe a Blood Brothers style numbers...

Say it's casserole
Says it's only Kiev

There would be a corner where people constantly slap each other with pool noodles and shout YABVVU, until they randomly throw flowers at each other momentarily, before returning to the slapping.

The two sell-out songs would have to be the forceful but melodic 'Just say no; it's a complete sentence' and the more rocky, 'Cancel the cheque!'

LTB could feature as a sort of "Hear the people sing" type refrain.

At the end, when all the audience are demanding a twelfth encore, the cast get fed up and yell
LTB - Leave you bastards!

There should definitely be a song composed of nothing but acronyms

We could have a chorus line all T-Rexing in unison like the Moulin Rouge can can line, warbling "Whereeeeee iss Shaaaarrrron, where is where we?"

I've got a mental image of Dolly Parton proclaiming "Honey, you ain't got a MIL problem - y'all got a DH problem" , then bursting into song 'working 9 to 5' style.

There might be a dance number involving clutching of pearls, head tilting and tinkly laughs?

Can I be in it please? I did tap when I was a kid - the sequinned bodysuit won't fit anymore but I could probably still shuffle off to buffalo at a push (slowly).
