  • A bit seemingly concocted by the same people behind Birds Aren't Real comes 23 years after Houston's Enron filed for bankruptcy.

The article from the Houston Chronicle discusses the revival of interest in Enron through a parody musical titled "Enron: The Musical Parody." This production, which has been staged in Houston, humorously revisits the infamous corporate scandal that led to Enron's bankruptcy in 2001. The parody features satirical takes on Enron's executives, including Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling, portrayed with exaggerated characteristics. The show uses humor to explore themes of corporate greed, financial manipulation, and the broader implications of the Enron scandal on American business ethics and regulation. It also reflects on how the scandal has become a cultural touchstone, often referenced in discussions about corporate malfeasance. The musical not only entertains but also educates newer generations about the historical event, highlighting its lasting impact on public perception of corporate America.
