It’s a little-known fact that Cheers will soon be a live stage show

Cheers Live On Stage, as it will creatively be titled, is planning to tour theaters across America beginning next year. It will feature “classic moments” from the show, which is presumably a more appealing way of saying some weird look-alikes to the original cast will shuffle out and recite dialogue verbatim from various episodes. (Probably while overeager maniacs, including the entire staff of The A.V. Club, yell “Norm!” repeatedly.) It’s even more exciting than the potential based-on-old-sitcom stage shows Sanford And Son On Ice and Hogan Family Burlesque, probably because we just made those up.

Of course, Radio Times notes that Cheers Live On Stage has already basically happened: It was a storyline on Frasier, where Diane Chambers made a theater piece based on the old gang. So we’ll take this moment to mock that level of nerdery, while insisting that it wasn’t the first thing we thought of as well.
