Burlysque, a musical
Continuing the Trilema tradition of giving away free great ideas, here's one good enough to make a boxoffice smashing musical.
So, Burly is a big strong hairy John Deere harvester operator in Ohio. Much like the famous lumberjack of legend he's okay, he sleeps all night and he works all day then in the evening he hangs out with his hick friends, they go bowling and whatnot.
Except one day he suddenly realises that he's really a woman trapped in a man's body. And she's a lesbian.
After a few local adventures trying to find a girlfriend, and confronting the terrible dilemma of whether the girl actually wants him for who he is (ie, a total bear) while putting up with / doing her best to ignore his notion that he's really a she or whether the girl actually wants him for who he really is (ie, a lesbian woman trapped in a man's hairy rotund body) while putting up with / doing her best to ignore his unfortunate penis, chest hair and whatnot he decides to go to Boston, where the real cool and smart and cool people are, in the hopes that therein he might find a solution.
Freshly off the bus he's just in time for the marathon, which he decides to join as a way to make friends as a newcomer. A bomb goes off and he's killed. The end.
You know this will sell. You're free to make it, I don't care. Have fun.
