NEW YORK, N.Y. (TDT) Overjoyed by the spectacular critical success of their live action ventures "Orgazmo" and That's My Bush!, Trey Parker and Matt Stone are set to wow Broadway with the all-singing, all-dancing "South Park: The Broadway Musical." We caught up with the creative duo at the city's trendy Nobu restaurant.

"We thought about doing another TV show, but our first love has always been musical theatre," Parker gushed, rice dripping from his chopsticks.

Finishing his partner's thought, Stone stepped in to explain, "Naturally, with the success of the Disney musicals, we figured the time was ripe to do this.  It really didn't take a lot of effort, we just forced a bunch of actors and actresses to watch the movie until their eyes bled, then dressed them in cardboard cutout costumes.  Soon, we'll be raking in 'Lion King'-sized bankrolls."

Thus, the Broadway show will follow almost exactly the same script as the "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" motion picture.  "We did think about changing the name to 'Big Gay Al's Super Flaming Dancing Extravaganza,' but the people in our focus groups didn't realize it was a musical, and seemed pretty pissed off when they found out.  So we stuck with the South Park title," lamented Stone.

Also unchanged are the catchy songs, which delighted Oscar voters two years ago.  "We have added a reprise of 'Uncle Fucka' at the end, though," admitted Parker, who does much of the songwriting. "We just wanted people to be humming that on the way home."

Parker did launch one warning for the local critics, however: "If  we lose out on a Tony to Phil Collins and some crappy Disney show, we're going to have to beat someone."

Casting was also a snap, apparently.  "Oh sure," Parker chuckled, downing his fifth sake, "New York is crawling with out-of-work former sitcom stars.  You can't swing Gary Coleman around by the feet without hitting two or three of them, especially in the Theater district.  We had to beat the cast of Seinfeld away with a stick.  That Kramer dude will do anything for money.  I mean, did you see the Michael Richards Show?  Well, obviously not, nobody did, but the point stands."

In something of a coup, the pair landed Survivor: The Australian Outback villainess Jerri Manthey to play the roles of both Kyle's mother, Sheila Broslofski, and the inimitable Kenny, who dies horrifically during each episode.  "That was a stroke of genius," crowed Stone. "She was a little worried about type-casting with being Kyle's mom and all, but she saw the light when we offered Kenny.  Survivor fans have been lining up in droves for repeat tickets, just because they want to see Jerri die over and over again."

" We were a little worried about scheduling, because she has to duck out occasionally to do stuff for CBS.  But we hired the Blue Man Group as understudies for the Kenny part, and people are just as excited to see them mutilated.  Three times the death equals three times the comedy."
