A stage theatre special about the Star Wars Holiday Special. Apparently
it's a comedy ... well, duh! It *is* the Star Wars Holiday Special,
which was almost a complete farce.

All Singing, All Dancing, All Wookie-ing
----------------------------------------
This week marks the 40th anniversary of The Star Wars
Holiday Special, the musical variety show aired on CBS
in November 1978, more than a year after the release
of A New Hope. Reportedly despised by George Lucas, the
still-inexplicable Holiday Special - which features
songs by Bea Arthur, Jefferson Starship, and Carrie
Fisher, as well as an animated cameo from Boba Fett -
has existed in bootleg form for decades. But starting
next month, a Los Angeles theater will host 'Special',
a live show that presents what writer Andrew Osborne
describes as a "true-ish" account of the show's hectic
production. 'Special' stars stage actor (and former
starfighter) Lance Guest, and runs through January -
just in time for your end-of-the-year Life Day
festivities.
