Sheena...I Just Met A Girl Named Sheena
Gabba Gabba Hey bills itself as, "the first punk rock musical" and uses 18 Ramones songs as the framework for A Lower East Side Love Story. The cast includes Tommy Ramone, Angie Bowie, and Hugh Cornwall (formerly of the Stranglers). It even has a mosh pit up front.
Sounds like Mamma Mia for the aging mohawk and safety pin set, and yet another sign of the imminent punk-rock apocalypse I prophesied when Ramones Teddy Bears [Link] appeared on the market last year.

I asked Satan Claus to bring me a Germs' Dream House and Malibu Darby for Punk Rock Christmas this year.

WTF, I thought "Rock and Roll High School" was the first punk-rock musical??

Right. Does Alex Cox's "Straight to Hell" qualify as a musical? I seem to recall hearing songs in it.
