From a guy that knows (kind of... not really) the producer of Watching Paint Dry: A Silent Musical comes:

DIAL-UP: a musical recollection of the internet's humble beginnings

Everyone onstage is dressed as old computers and every dance number includes doing the robot at least once. The set design is full of ethernet cords, networks, computer terminals and the floor is littered with millions of AOL discs.

The orchestra pit is full of members and roadies of Styx.

Styx gain back the lime light with the curtain call "Mr. Roboto"
