It's a pity you can't go on, blackaeronaut. It sounded pretty good to me.
The problem with "Springtime for Hitler" was that the producers went too far in their attempt to create the ultimate flop. They picked the worst
script they could find, and cast the worst actors they could find to perform it. The first song of the play was done as a serious, impressive Broadway musical
number, and it nearly drove off the entire audience- the second part, where some random druggie off the street blundered through the role of Hitler, was what
convinced the audience that it was a farce and ruined the play.
I don't know quite how this would really work as a fic, though. Somehow, the idea of Mad Musical Hitler's disembodied brain leading the Daleks through
a succession of musical numbers appeals to me more than Time Lord Hitler.
