We Should All Go To "Rehab!"

Coming on the heels of constant reports about celebrities entering rehab is a bait about just that. "Rehab!: A Contemporary Musical" from baiters Zgamer and Ryan provides a great deal of laughs, some hilarious song-and-dance numbers, and just a little bit of social satire.

"Rehab!" is about a young man named Caleb, played brilliantly by teen heartthrob Drake Bell, who moves into The Cleanse and Go Rehab Center in Fairview, Nevada, just because he doesn't want to pay for anything for himself. At the facility, Caleb encounters numerous quirky and eccentric individuals that provide the bait's humorous core. His love interest, Susan, is played by Lindsay Lohan (right) in the role she was born to play (or already has, hehe) as a depressed teen who turned to drugs to deal with her gay parents. Caleb soon learns that the celebrities in the facility aren't nearly as bad as the people working there, which include Tim Curry and Broadway veterans John Tartaglia and Stephanie D'Abbruzzo. Ranging from speed addicts to name droppers, the employees at The Cleanse and Go provide the most entertaining part of the musical.

The bait, while being a musical from the Tony-winning team behind the laughfest "Avenue Q" and Jason Reitman, presents numerous questions about the role of rehab in today's Hollywood society. From pop idols on cocaine to TV stars using words that would be heard at any schoolyard, rehab has become a joke in American society and the authors of this bait are well aware and are trying to present the topic as a problem.

I think this bait will be very well received and is a strong possibility for Best Picture-Musical/Comedy at the Golden Globes. Expect the supporting cast to pop up throughout the month and also expect the bait to garner a great deal of attention at the final awards.
