Chit chat: Jalalabad idea

Published Tuesday 15 December 2009 at 12:35 by Tabard

And if that sounds improbable, then this will - excuse the pun - blow your mind. Jihad the Musical. No, we’re not making this up.

The production is coming to London’s Jermyn Street Theatre in January and is billed as “a satirical romp that follows an innocent young boy from the streets of Jalalabad to the West”.

It features songs including Axis of Freedom, Building a Bomb Today, I Wanna Be Like Osama, Marvellous, Marvellous France and Scary Mary. Really, Tabard would just like to reiterate that we’re not making any of this up.

Let’s just hope the show doesn’t bomb. Sorry.
