Malibu Stacy: The Musical
History
Smithers wrote the Malibu Stacy musical and got the production booked into a theater in the Albuquerque Theater .When he asked Mr. Burns for time off to be in the play and "make [his] dream come true". Burns granted the request, even though he made fun of Smithers for making a musical about a doll. In due time, the musical opened in the Albuquerque Theater.
In the scene from the musical that was shown, Smithers and the actress playing Stacy were on a stage filled with life-sized Mailbu Stacy accessories. Seated on the hood of Stacy's Corvette, they sang the song "Sold Separately" as a duet.
Most of the audience seemed to enjoy the play, but when the song was finished, one bored-looking man gave his wife a dirty look and said, "This is better than a movie -- Why?"
