There was a high-school sitcom with a laugh track, and an episode built around a production of Romeo and Juliet. The initial plan is minimalist as all get out (a confused actor doesn't have a sword, and when the director insists, starts to whap another actor with his script), and then... somehow, one of the main characters echoes his little brother's idea of doing it with superheroes, the director is actually intrigued by the idea, and... last I knew, it had gotten as far as colorful "superhero" costuming.
EDIT: On a note that probably won't help anything, right, it was one person in charge who was doing the play with nothing, and another somehow coming in who said, you're not doing that, are you?
