James T. Kirk Superstar: A Spock Opera

[Maurice]

Hey all,

Over the years I have a number of times mentioned one of the most clever fan send-ups of Star Trek I'd ever seen from back in the late 90s. Now it's been put on YouTube. It's a wacked parody of The City on the Edge of Forever set to Andrew Lloyd Webber music, in which Edith Keeler is a new age guru who runs a rehab clinic/cult, and Spock sings "I Don't Know How to Love, Jim" amongst others. The dance number with Kirk and Khan is worth the price of admission.

This was videotaped from a live performance. As such, the audio and video quality isn't the best, but it's a very fun and clever piece of work and the guys and gals who did it deserve some kudos for their creativity and sheer audacity.

That was a lot of fun! Thanks for posting it.

And, yeah, Khan Noonian Sings was a showstopper.

As a fan of Star Trek and Jesus Christ Superstar, I was... fascinated.

Hahaha! That's one of the most inventive amateur spoofs I've seen. Top marks and more power to them!

Well, that was most interesting. I think "Edith Keeler must die" and "Khan Noonian sings" were the highlights. I'll give a lot of props to the cast and crew and the put on this show. Never really saw Star Trek and Andrew Loyd Webber merging like that, but there are always possibilities. How about a broadway show to capitalize on the succes of the new movie?
