I would say a way bit too obscure. How about Footsteps on the Moon's Musical Version of Goodnight Moon instead ?

Foot*prints* on the moon.

Yet a cult classic adaption of a literary classic. Like I said, something primarily appealing to "nerds" of a sort.

Perhaps very specific nerds? Music nerds? Not sure this show has much of that audience.

I, too, have had a nerd music-related request for this show for years which has gone ignored. Therefore, I suspect that the show's writers do not have the same appreciation for music that you and I do.

That made me sound very haughty...but I meant it. A girl becomes hardened after 11 years of no Brian May.

There's a very large number of possible guest stars they HAVEN'T had, so it's a very large club.

This is the closest we'll get to Brian May on the show.

If the writers knew anything about music and science they would have capitalized on that opportunity to tell the audience that Brian May came up with that rhythm, and that it was based on his knowledge of sound waves and prime numbers.

True. It does have quite a story and many known people in its many casts, yet is perhaps too British for an American sitcom. But then so was Stephan Hawking. However it does have a multi-nerd appeal: Its a musical for the theater geeks, It is progressive rock with strings for the music nerds, and it is War of the Worlds for book nerds. So you do have a point. I don't remember if War of the Worlds was ever mentioned but Fiddler on the Roof was. Time will only tell if the show ever decides to go beyond the tried and true and wildly popular. I do await its reference.

Oh you with your super power memory of how to spell things correctly. Yet in my defense since it is a musical version, footsteps on the moon would make a sound, footprints on the moon would remain silent.

There's no atmosphere on the moon, and sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, so footsteps would be silent too.

So what you are saying K is that in space no one can hear you belt out a show tune? Could I not hear the sound of my space boots brushing against space rocks inside my space suit, which I hope is full of vibrating air molecules? Also what explains the “One small step…” line, not to mention the “Watched out for that alien behind that space rock” line. Now I understand the silence in the airlock scene in “2001” but if there is no sound in space how do you explain the Millenium Falcon making all those cool swooshing sounds ? In Star Wars everyone can hear you swoosh.

Only one season left in which to see someone listening to Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of War of the Worlds.

Let me add that there is also only one season left to mention the Brothers Hildebrandt as well
