Cubs!

~The Musical~

"This year, the Cub's season played out like a movie. In fact, it should be a movie. No wait, a musical!" ~ My mom

After Mom gave us the idea, my sister and I started writing a musical about the Cubs' 1998 season. And here's what we came up with...

The Cast:

We're still in the process of casting many of the roles! There are still a lot of Cubs/announcers/other people left!

Rod Beck -- himself
Because Rod Beck is one of a kind! No one could do him justice.

Jeff Blauser -- Ron Howard
Melissa noticed this similarity...and she doesn't even like baseball.

Brant Brown -- Brian Littrell (from the Backstreet Boys)
They look so much alike! Brian might have to change his hair a little, but that's it. And I think he's pretty good at baseball, too!

Chip Caray -- Jim Carrey
My uncle pointed this out...the similarity is kind of freaky.

Harry Caray -- This guy from a local McDonald's Commercial
He doesn't look like Harry, but through the magic of make-up, I think he can pull it off. And he does a great impersonation of Harry's voice.

Gary Gaietti -- Jerry Seinfeld
Gary looks like Seinfeld after a few days without shaving.

Mark Grace -- Garth Brooks
These guys are the same person! They look exactly alike.

Mickey Morandini -- Jim Breuer
If Jim Breuer grew his hair out a little, it could work.

Ron Santo -- Bobby Sherman
I saw the 1970's teen idol on some VH1 "Where Are They Now?" show, and he reminded me of him!

Sammy Sosa -- The Bus Driver from the "Backstreet's Back" music video
This is unexplainable.

Steve Stone -- Albert Brooks
My mom's idea...I saw some images from Albert Brooks' new movie, and he could totally pass for Steve Stone

Kevin Tapani -- The guy who played Luke's dad on "Growing Pains"
We won't need any make-up for this guy. The resemblance is unbelievable.

Kerry Wood -- Fred Durst (the dude from Limp Bizkit)
Fred Durst isn't as adorable as Kerry, but he could pull it off.

The Songs

The songs are still under development! Most of them don't have titles yet.

Theme Song -- "We're the Cubs"

Home Run Number

A Goodbye Number to Kevin Orie

A Sad Song After Brant Brown Drops the Ball

Closing Number After One-Game Playoff

"It's a Beautiful Thang" -- We don't know what this song will be about but we think it would be a cool title!

Coming Soon: Pictures of the cast and more songs!
