I don't like all these
I don't like all these "corpse humping" references. Do people say that about Shakespeare's work, or Mozart's? If art has lasting value it can be reworked and interpreted for centuries. Jerry's work, along with Robert Hunter's will be reflected back to society down the eons. I think that kind of terminology is actually disrespectful to an artist whom, some people may adore, but I suspect some of whom never saw him action themselves. Lighten up, people. It's art, it is meant to be "handed down" and re-interpreted, if it stands the test of time.
That said, I don't know if a Broadway Musical treatment of Grateful Dead music can succeed, I've seen a few attempts come and go, but I, for one, hope the best for this Production, because the actors and Producers are most likely putting their all into it. I hope it's good!

It's not the simulated GD show with strings & horns & Rockette dancers, as I understand it
The script has nothing to do with GD. Most likely that a couple of DeadHead film students found a DeadHead producer and found a way to plug the music that they love into a play.

Did you think anyone thought otherwise?
Also, more likely "a couple of DeadHead theatre majors" [. . . ]
Like the GershwinHeads and KernHeads before them.

It may sound corny, but the music from Working Man's Dead & American Beauty lends well to this type of Broadway musical.
Check this out during the day, have a nice dinner, visit the X-Mas tree in Rockefeller Plaza, and Phish/MSG at night.
The show cost less then the poster of the show.

One of my kid's school friends has an internship with the lighting designer for the show. Katie thought I would be very excited to hear about it, and was dissappointed that it wasn't a surprise to me.

They want the tickets to remain cheap; that's why it's "off Broadway"
