Someone please turn this into a musical. Please please please.

Wife crashes her own funeral, horrifying her husband, who had paid to have her killed

"Surprise," she said. "I'm still alive." Now he's in jail.

Some comments from Facebook...

Do we start with the funeral and then go into a flashback, or do we go in chronological order?

Joseph Cohen

Start with the funeral - a big picture of the 'deceased' is near the casket, everyone is somber and then she bursts through the doors played by Viola Davis. Then, flashback ala Carol. :)

Andrew Altenburg

Isn't this an Australian "I love you to death?"

Dawn Richmond Breazile

I say it starts with them in love. Maybe in a honeymoon. You start to see complications in the relationship. She is kidnapped at the end of act one. Act two is primarily the funeral. There will be some reprises of the love songs that we heard in the first act done in the form of eulogies. The funeral scenes will be interspersed with flashbacks to her escape. The final scene will be her breaking into the funeral and having her husband arrested.

“'Surprise! I’m still alive!' she replied." We have a title!!

Stephen Dolginoff, didn't you do this already?

Jason Rockwood

I just read this story and could not agree more!

Andrew Perez

Or a Syfy series. Death Tactics

Todd Sokolove

I'm assuming I am cast already. I will demand a ukulele solo.
