Theater fans who have some time to kill may want to check out a recent Twitter meme that is surely one of the funniest we’ve seen in a while.

Using the tag #sadmusicals, tweeters are encouraged to alter the names of well-known stage musicals to make them sound depressing or tragic. You can find the entries on Twitter at #sadmusicals, and be sure to append the same hash tag to your own contributions.
