Are you ready for this? A Theory of Justice: The Musical!
No, really:
In order to draw inspiration for his magnum opus, John Rawls travels back through time to converse (in song) with a selection of political philosophers, including Plato, Locke, Rousseau and Mill. But the journey is not as smooth as he hoped: for as he pursues his love interest, the beautiful student Fairness, through history, he must escape the evil designs of his libertarian arch-nemesis, Robert Nozick, and his objectivist lover, Ayn Rand. Will he achieve his goal of defining Justice as Fairness?
Wait, I thought they already made that show. It was called Hair.
Here’s a publicity photo from the production – Matt Ladner in costume for his co-starring role as “The Difference Principle”:

Ha! (Or is that too old school?)
