Wouldn’t it be great to see the musical version of The Brothers Karamazov?

The musical version of CRIME AND PUNISHMENT includes:
Wiggedy Piggedy
Rodion Raskolnikov
Belted two dames
With a broad-bladed ax.
“I am a victim of
miseracordia,
Beaten,” said he,
“by religion and sex.”

So does the little old lady perform the Chicken Dance before Raskolnikov whacks her?
:eek:

I do like the concept of the old bat doing the chicken dance- perhaps the 1812 overture as gets the chop.
