Blagojevich, the spoof, debuts in Chicago

Chicago’s Second City comedy troupe is turning Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s impeachment into a one-act musical.

Rod Blagojevich Superstar! was dreamed up at a Second City party in January and scripted, choreographed and rehearsed in less than a month before its debut Tuesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

At worst, we get a ton of PR — which we’ve gotten, said Kelly Leonard, vice president of Second City. And at best we have a show that has legs.

Superstar traces Blagojevich’s rise from law school to Illinois governor and power broker, the Sun Times said. Co-writers Ed Furman and T.J. Shanoff modeled their effort after the Andrew Lloyd Weber smash Jesus Christ, Superstar, including a foul-mouthed parody of Mary Magdalene type who croons, I Don’t Know How to F- – - ing Love Him, a send-off to his profanity-laced conversations caught on FBI wiretaps.

There’s so much going on, I’ve been pitching ‘Blagojevich 2: The Wrath of Quinn,’ Furman said.
