didn’t I see this on ‘The Simpsons’?
Why does this make me think of Streetcar!, the musical?
David Cronenberg has successfully transposed his 1986 horror movie The Fly into an opera with music by the film's composer, Howard Shore (best known for his Lord of the Rings score), and a 75-piece orchestra conducted by famed tenor Placido Domingo. The production received a standing ovation at its opening in Paris Wednesday night, according to published reports. It is due to play for two weeks in Paris before moving on to Los Angeles in September.

I love legitimate theater!
But they did cover Planet of the Apes.

To be fair, Little Shop of Horrors was the same concept.
