There's an earworm I don't get every day (not this decade, anyway).

I've had "Planet Claire" intermittently in my head for about a month, ever since I started researching the B-52s musical of the same name for a post that never got off the ground about sexual utopianism and the difference between "I can do whatever I want" utopias and "I can do whomever I want" utopias.
"B-52s musical"
There's a what?? Got me some Googling to do, I see.
(If J. Random Catholic knew about this and neglected to tell me, I'm going to be most upset with him. OTOH, if he didn't know, oh the fun of being the one to tell him!)

Googling availed me not; no trace of any such thing. So, enlighten me, Jeff.

I thought I'd found a page on the musical itself, but it's not coming up for me now.
From the Wikipedia page on the B-52s:
2001: the Maryland Ensemble Theatre of Frederick, MD, began to work on a musical based on the musical of the B-52s entitled Planet Claire. Through a Wizard of Oz sort of situation, a girl named Claire, who is a waitress at the Love Shack, is transported to Planet Topaz, where she meets aliens surprisingly similar to the people she knows back home. It premiered in 2002 at the Maryland Ensemble Theatre, where it was extremely popular. It played again at the Baltimore Theatre Project in 2004, with a slightly different cast. The book was written by Tad Janes, Gene Fouche and Timothy King and the original production was directed by Tad Janes, with costumes and choreography by Julie Herber.
Some photos from a later production are here.
Aha! There's a review of it here.
Odd; I looked at the Wikipedia page but didn't see that. Thanks!
