Musical Twitter?

It's an interesting idea using new media and technology to promote a show, but does anyone think this is a bit ridiculous (if original)?

Being reported from NBC News:

Next to Normal will become the first Broadway show to Twitter a full performance.

"For the first time ever, the full story of a Broadway musical will be told via Twitter. Follow the characters of Next to Normal as they tweet their story – all the lows, all the highs – day by day, song by song. Experience it like you never have before. No Twitter account required!” the show announced on its official website this week.

The opening tweet from the @N2NBroadway account earlier this week announced "Starting May 5, follow the characters as they tweet their story – all the lows, all the highs – day by day, song by song."

The twitterformance (OK, that's not really a word,) will run through June 7. Next to Normal IRL life has an open-ended run at the Booth Theatre, located at 222 W. 45th St.
