Standby Pee, Tokelahoma!, Euphoria: The Ruesical. There's gotta be a winner somewhere on this list.
Eddy Chen/HBO
When vice principal Garcia greenlit Lexi Howard’s play proposal sight unseen, it was hard to know whether to clock this as a win for Euphoria's burgeoning girl boss or laugh at the administrative incompetence on display. Now, six episodes into Season 2, it seems we've finally gotten something resembling a log line: "It's about a group of girlfriends who sort of grow up and grow apart," Lexi tells Fezco.
Does this mean we will be getting a modern day Stand By Me? A yassified My Brilliant Friend? A "Merrily We Roll Along" about a different kind of "rolling"? Your guess is as good as ours. We ran with these crumbs and came up with a handful of utterly winning titles that our favorite level-headed sidekick won't be able to refuse for her splashy theatrical debut.
