Nostalgia Critic (NC):
Hello, I’m the Nostalgia Critic! I remember it so you don’t have to!
Remember when Stephen King remade The Shining because he didn’t like what Stanley Kubrick did with it? Well… Anthony Burgess kinda did the same thing. Only instead of rewriting The Shining with more hedge animals, he turned A Clockwork Orange into… a musical.
(beat)
Yeah. You know, that movie famous for ultraviolence, Beethoven, and psychological torment—now with catchy tunes!
[Cue exaggerated title card: “A CLOCKWORK ORANGE: THE PLAY WITH MUSIC — BECAUSE WHY NOT?”]
NC:
So here’s the story: Anthony Burgess, author of the original novel, was not a big fan of Kubrick’s movie. Probably because it made people think he was pro-violence instead of pro-“free will.” So he decided, “You know what? I’ll fix it… with jazz hands!”
(Cut to footage or reenactment of exaggerated stage version)
Yes, this 1987 stage adaptation features singing, dancing, and Beethoven bops. It’s like West Side Story if Tony murdered everyone with a giant phallic sculpture.
[NC voiceover while showing stage stills or mock visuals]
You’ve got Alex and his droogs prancing around like delinquent ballerinas, beating people up to Broadway rhythms. One minute it’s “Singin’ in the Rain,” the next it’s “Kicking in Your Brain.”
