RTÉ To Spend Additional €140mn Funding On ‘Toy Show Musical 2: Flip Flop Boogaloo’

IN A SURE sign there has been a significant change in the culture at senior level in RTÉ, the broadcaster today announced that work has begun on a surefire success in the form of a sequel to the money-burning crime that was Toy Show The Musical.

“How much could a sequel musical to a €2 million disaster cost, €140 million?” pondered an RTÉ exec while outlining the idea for ‘Toy Show The Musical 2: Flip Flop Boogaloo’ which tells the story of capable and high-powered executives who had been wronged by an evil cabal of zombie-like ingrates known as ‘licence fee dodgers’.

While there had been internal questions about how such a worthy artistic endeavour would be paid for, thankfully the €140mn in additional funding included in the government’s 3 year funding package of €725mn for the broadcaster has solved that thorny issue.

“Naturally every audience member would have to be given a custom made flip flop costume too, but if you want things done right you have to pay for it. Can Irish musicals be nominated for Tony awards?” added another executive, who will have a near perfect lack-of-recall of these events when put in front of an Oireachtas committee in a few years time.

Making sure not to repeat the mistakes of the past, those overseeing the musical has hired a part-time writer for a week, on minimum wage, to take a stab at the script while also importing rare 2,500-year-old Siberian bog oak from a New York firm to build the stage, at a cost of €1,000 per foot.

“We have a top London based performer auditioning for the main role, his fee is high but thankfully it’s a bit lower than its peak due to some non-scandal about concealed payments,” concluded head of casting at RTÉ.
