What better fodder for a musical than a corrupt, spotlight grubbing governor? None better if you're asking the St. Louis Theater group, StageFrightMedia. This weekend they will be putting the Blago's story on stage, complete with a musical score and scores of YouTube videos featuring our favorite poofy haired swindler.

What: Waziriside Story: 'Till They Framed Rod Blagojevich: The Musical

When: Friday, February 6 at 7pm and Saturday, Feburary 7th at 9:30pm

Where: Tin Ceiling Theater (3159 Cherokee Street)

How: Tickets are $10 at the door

The production is a Westside Story of sorts, with Sheiks and Drones replacing the fancy footed gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, from the original musical. Where does everyone's favorite gubernatorial slacker come into play? The story is complex, but Rod plays a scapegoat who brings down a big, fat bank and gets all mixed up in with a zany Pakistani militant. Hilarity is sure to ensue. StageFrightMedia is encouraging you to get some pre-work done by reading a few articles and brushing up on your impeachment events [via STLog].
