Jane Jacobs and Le Corbusier
So it turns out that Jane Jacobs was Le Corbusier's girlfriend, and he was brilliant but didn't pay enough attention to her, so when Robert Moses wanted to enshrine Le Corbusier's principles in a highway cutting across lower Manhattan unhappy Jane gathered a group of activists and brought Moses down. There was a trial that was decided by a feat of physical strength, with Moses and Jacobs having a tug-of-war with Le Corbusier's body — Moses's team shouting “Get things done!” and Jacobs's team yelling “Emergence theory!”
It's a musical (sort of) about urban planning (”single use zoning!”), with a lot of smoke effects and some earnest dialogue. Jane Jacobs yells about the human need for sidewalks and neighborhoods (and organically-growing cities), and Robert Moses shouts about the purity and rightness of clean, wide highways (and a master plan).
We're not quite ready for a musical about the internet, but soon, soon – we just need a few more songs.
